Hi, my Nest thermostat is just displaying a strange symbol of a vertical rectangle with a small house in the middle and a downwards-pointing arrow above it. I have tried resetting, but after a brief showing of the google G it just goes back to this symbol. I've tried resetting, but that hasn't done any good. If anyone knows what is going on here or what I can do it'd be much appreciated
cheers

Hi MrLAT,
Thank you for posting in the community. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Nest Thermostat displaying that unusual symbol. I understand how concerning that can be when your smart devices aren't working as expected, and I'm here to help.
To get a better understanding of what might be happening, could you please answer a few questions for me?
Was your Nest Thermostat working normally before this symbol appeared, or had you noticed any other unusual behavior recently?
Has the thermostat been physically moved, bumped, or had anything come into contact with it recently?
Could you describe the exact steps you took to reset the thermostat?
What is the specific model of your Nest Thermostat? You can usually find this information on the back of the display unit or in the app under the thermostat's settings.
Are you seeing any error codes displayed on the thermostat screen along with the symbol or within the app?
Would you be able to share a picture of the symbol that's currently showing on your thermostat display? This would be incredibly helpful in identifying the issue.
You should see a camera icon or an "Insert photos" option that you can use to attach the image. If you're having trouble finding this option on your mobile device, please try using a different web browser or a computer.
Thank you for providing these details. I look forward to your response so we can figure out what's going on.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi - I'm having exactly the same issue. Just set up a new router & tried setting jump the thermostat. Followed instructions but it won't come off this screen - restarted it numerous times but it will not go any further.
