I installed a Google Nest in August and it worked great through the remainder of summer. As the weather cooled, we turned it off. This morning was frosty so I turned it on and moved it to heat. The heater came on but it would not shut off when the appropriate temp was hit. I had it set at 66 and the temp was at 78 when I finally pulled the thermostat off to see if that would stop it. It did, the heater shut off about two minutes later. We have a heat pump with electric cooling and gas heat. I have four wires connected - blue wire to Y, green wire to W, white wire to OB, and red wire to R (won't let me upload a pic). What am I missing?
