Nest indoor temperature is wayyy off

[Jdeezz]

My new nest Thermostat indoor temperature is extremely off. It is showing and staying at 79-80 degrees when its not even close and probably about 65 degrees in the house. This unit is brand new and not sure what to do? Please help!

I committed on a separate post noting the same thing. I'm experiencing this as well and seeing more posts. I think there may be a bigger issue.

I have the same issue here, just installed my nest and it showing 75F inside and its actually about 63F

This is only being used for heat so really need help here

How do you correct it if it’s too high by like 20 degrees. This is “all of the sudden”. Been working for like a year

Any fix to this, same issue here that needs fixing badly

Have a Nest Thermostat model 1.4. On Software version1.1-11.

Having this same issue all of a sudden..

Inside temperature we know from a different nonsmart thermostat.

Past 2 years were fine..

Not near a heater. 

It is 68 inside, but it is saying it is between 75-78. Wayyyy off. Please help!

I purchased a Nest Learning Thermostat a few months ago and have to set the thermostat at 71 degrees to get the room heat to maintain 68 degrees. I have put a few reference thermometers next to the thermostat and they all read 68 while the Nest reads 71.

When I look at my heating history it shows that I have been keeping my house set to 71 degrees, which is wrong

Model Display=3.7 SW 6.2-27

I see people have been reporting this issue for years with no satisfaction from Nest

Why can't a simple temperature calibration be added to the setup to allow the customer to correct the reading, as can be done on cheap mechanical thermostats ?

All that would be needed is an offset number running from perhaps -5 to +5 degrees. After reading the room temperature , the software could add the offset factor and proceed from there. In my case the number would be set to +3. Problem solved
