3rd Gen tstat showing wrong humidity %

[WalkGood]

Wrong humidity % shown by 3rd Gen tstat. Shows much higher % compared to TWO humidity gauges.  Had been showing same % for 2+ yrs.  

I've read some threads with same issue since update from 2022.  But no solution.

Anyone get a solution?

Google is aware of the problem and they do not have a solution for it and they are not working on it and they do not care about this problem. It will never be fixed. The only solution is to use a different product from another company. It sucks, but that's the reality of it.

Weird how the humidity % had been reporting correctly for over 2 yrs .  And then suddenly doesn't.  Some of the users have also reported that their tstat goes back to normal but nothing proactive was done and no software/firmware update.

Hi folks,
 

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry for the delay and for the trouble this may have caused both of you. I'd love to help. Could you please give these steps a whirl?
 

You can follow the steps below:
 

1. Remove the thermostat display from its base for about 5 seconds.
2. Reattach the display.
3. Wait for 10 seconds.
    

Keep me posted.
 

Best,

I will try that next time I am at the location.  Could be a long while before that can happen.

What exactly will happen when I Remove the thermostat display from its base?   Will any settings be affected?

Hi WalkGood, 

Thanks for getting back to us. When you remove your Nest Thermostat display off its base, it will just stop working with your system and will not affect your settings. As long as you did not factory reset the Nest Thermostat and you did not move any wires, the settings will stay as it is. 

Best,

Hello WalkGood,

I'm checking back in — how's it going? Have you had a chance to inspect your thermostat? I have additional steps for you to try. Please give these steps a whirl to isolate:

1. On your thermostat. Go to Settings > Technical Info > Network.
2. Gather the Signal strength value.
3. Press and hold the thermostat screen for 10 seconds until it shuts down to restart.
4. Go back to Settings > Nest Sense > Sunblock.
5. Disconnect the thermostat from your Wi-Fi connection for 24 hours.

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Mark

Thanks for the info.  I'll try them next time I am at the location but that won't be for 3 or more months.
