Matter and HomeKit saying it is not responding in home app

[Dan0221_]

Hi, I just setup and installed a nest thermostat I got on amazon for Black Friday, however, i set it up using matter in the apple home app, and when I ask Siri on my iPhone or Homepod mini, it says it is not responding. I have tried restarts, unpairing and repairing, and nothing works. Help!!

Hi Dan0221,

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that you need to pair your new Google Nest Thermostat, and I'm happy to help! I have a question to better understand the situation.

What type of Google Nest Thermostat do you have?

Have you tried pairing your Google Nest Thermostat device with the Google Home App or Nest App first?
To use HomeKit, you must first set up your Google Nest Thermostat on the Google Home app or Nest app, depending on the model of Google Nest Thermostat device you have.

I will be awaiting your response.

Regards,

Manuel
