My Nest thermostat is flashing very low battery.  Why am I not receiving a message from the app?  I was out of town, so need to know this.

Hi KMNH, 

 

Uh-oh! I'm sorry to hear that your Nest Thermostat is flashing a very low battery warning and you haven't received a notification from the app. Check on the following: 

 

  1. To enable battery notifications in the Nest app, navigate to "Settings" and check the notification settings related to battery status, ensuring they are enabled.
  2. The Nest app requires specific permissions to send notifications to your phone, so ensure that these are enabled in your phone's app settings.
  3. The thermostat's low battery may compromise its network connectivity, preventing it from sending a low battery notification to the app, potentially affecting its overall functionality.
  4. The thermostat's status may be delayed in synchronizing with the app, so try refreshing or reopening the app to check for low battery notifications.
  5. Ensure your thermostat and Nest app are running on the latest firmware and software versions to avoid potential bugs or compatibility issues affecting notification delivery.
  6. If you haven't received a Nest app notification on your phone, check other devices or platforms where the app may be installed, such as tablets or smartwatches, as it's possible the notification was sent to a different device.

 

Let us know how that works.

 

Best,

Zoe
