Setup Nest Thermostat without app?

I bought & installed thermostat, without using the app. Working well. It wasn’t connecting it to the app, so I reset it. Now it says “continue Setup in google home app” which still can’t connect to it. I think I need a C-wire adapter. IN THE MEANTIME, how can I get it working as a stand-alone thermostat again?

Make sure your trying to connect to thermostat to the right app. The new Nest Thermostat connects via the Home app. The Nest E and the older Nest Learning Thermostat connects via the Nest app.

Yes. I have an old learning thermostat connected to Nest, but this is I the new Nest low-end thermostat, and I have been trying unsuccessfully to connect it to the google home app. Scanning the QR code directed me to that app.

I think the thermostat was open box & that’s why it was already functioning without the app. Is it possible to get it to function as a thermostat WITHOUT using the app?
