cannot reconnect my android to the NEST thermostat.

PaulCook — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 22:17:49 GMT

I cannot connect my Android app to the thermostat. When I scan the QR code it tells me the thermostat is already connected to my network. The thermostat will not return a code either for the same reason.

I have "RESET" the thermostat and same issue.

I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, same issue.

Now what else can I do to connect it so I can once again control my thermostat from my phone?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for confirming. Try these steps:

On the thermostat itself, go to Settings > Reset > All Settings. You mentioned having done this already but best to start fresh. Maybe the reset didn't finish, as it should not show as connected to your network after a factory reset.
On the Nest app home screen, tap the Settings cog.
Tap Add product. The app will switch to a camera view to scan the thermostat’s QR code.
On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu and tap the Settings cog.
Turn the ring to select Nest app and press to open it.
Select QR code. Your thermostat will show you a unique QR code to scan with the app. If it doesn't, tap Continue without scanning in the app and select Get entry key on your thermostat instead.
Follow the remaining steps in the Nest app.

Appreciate your patience for my follow up, I've been on vacation for a short while!

Thank you for your great instructions' I would only add that the user must turn the ring with so instructed as that took a second try to figure that out.

Thanks again!
