Adding a 2nd Nest Learning thermostat to the Nest App appears to be impossible. Can someone from Nest advise if you are allowed to have 2 Nests with the same home? I'm going to try the solution of adding a 2nd home so that I can have my upstairs and downstairs controlled remotely.
As it is now, I consistently get the TD013(4096) error on the app, despite all wifi and bluetooth networking working fine.
I confirm that the only way to add a 2nd nest thermostat to the nest app is to create a second home. I now have 2 homes configured, upstairs and downstairs. The nest thermostats live in their own separate homes in the app despite them being under the same roof.
In an effort to keep content fresh on the forums here and prioritize current issues, I'm going to go ahead and close up this thread. If you have any outstanding issues from this post or any other problems, please feel free to open up a new discussion.
I am having the same exact problem. They will add individually but not to the same home. I've tried every suggestion listed on the site. It appears to be a common problem. Tempted to return all 5 thermostats that we just bought... Why get the more expensive "learning thermostats" when they can't even link to the app!
We have 5 zones in the house, so now I have 5 "homes" - seems silly since then the thermostats aren't working "together" and it's a pain to switch between each "house" to check the temps. For the price of these nests.... seems like they should have this figured out.
