Nest stuck on "Continue Setup in Google Home App". Can't reset.

We have the Nest thermostat with the reflective face. Only solution I've seen on here is take the batteries out overnight. Did that. When it turns back on in the morning it goes right back to "Continue Setup in Google Home App".

Cannot finish setup in the app and need to factory reset the thermostat.

Hello Rfbennett,

 

I'm sorry if you have to go through this. We'd like you to have a better experience with your new Nest thermostat.

 

Let's try the steps here: on the Google Home app, set up your thermostat on a different structure. Here's your guide on how to create a new home.

 

Let us know if that works.

 

Best regards,

Mark

Thank you! That worked! However a new problem has been caused. 

Now the thermostat cannot detect any of the wire connections. As a result it is saying it has "no power". I haven't changed any of the wiring and I've verified that the power is flowing to the C wire. 

Any insight? Thanks

Hi Rfbennett,

 

Sounds great! Thanks for the update. It appears that it's not properly configured. Let's sort this out.

 

  • Please check that the power from your breaker to your HVAC system is turned on.
  • Ensure all wires are properly seated to their terminals and buttons are stayed down.
  • Remove the batteries and leave it disconnected for at least a minute.
  • Look for any available wire report, and please tell us the message code.
  • Check for any wiring updates on the Google Home app.
    • On the homepage, select your thermostat, then settings.
    • Thermostat > Wiring configuration > Update

 

Keep me posted on how it goes.

 

Best regards,

Mark

It's working! Adding it to a different home fixed all the issues. It's no longer telling me that wires are disconnected. All good. Thank you!
