Problem getting secure entry key.

[Bemassybear]

I’ve been trying to add one of our 3 nest thermostats Gen 1 to the Nest app. The other 2  are connected. Ever time I select Get Entry Key in Settings => Nest app, it first says “getting an entry key”, spins for a bit then says there’s a problem to connect to a server. This has been going on for 24 hours +. Is there an override?

Try these steps:

1. Factory reset the thermostat.
2. On the Nest app home screen, tap the Settings cog.
3. Tap Add product. The app will switch to a camera view to scan the thermostat’s QR code.
4. On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu and tap the Settings cog.
5. Turn the ring to select Nest app and press to open it.
6. Select QR code. Your thermostat will show you a unique QR code to scan with the app. If it doesn't, tap Continue without scanning in the app and select Get entry key on your thermostat instead.
7. Follow the remaining steps in the Nest app.

If the issue remains after following those steps, try these steps:
