ReplacedThermostat; Sensor won't connect

[auntyBear61]

I've had a NEST for 3 years.  Had to replace the Thermostat (if failed).  Sensor won't connect.  I removed and readded the sensor, changed the battery (even though my tester said the battery was still good), placed the **bleep** sensor ON TOP OF the thermostat (is THAT close enough?)... still won't connect.  Getting cold toes here... and a heated brain.

Nest trouble shooter only tells me to do what I figured out and did myself. wow, great support.

Auntibear61,

i’m sorry that you’re having trouble have you tried by chance going into the thermostat and removing the temperature sensor, then perform a reset of the thermostat, then re-initiate the thermostat, and then try to add the temperature sensor? I hate to say do a reset but sometimes I think giving the thermostat a full enema have a reset works to resolve some problems

Impatient me called Nest and got essentially the same guidance. Reset the thermostat and all was well!  Didn't even need to remove the sensor.  Thanks so much; I'm happy to confirm the accuracy of your solution
