Tenant

I am a landlord trying to find out how I can allow my tenants to use the thermostat via the app. Is there a way to connect them through some sort of “invitation” or do they just have to download app and enter my information?

Nest Thermostats are designed as personal devices. There's no way for you to share them as a building owner, I'm afraid. Either you control it and it settings, or you would need to reset it and allow the tenant to set it up with their own device and Google Home app.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for your answer, davidking. 

@Soniatrejofox, thanks for reaching out. If you're signing into your Nest app using a migrated Google account, you can invite home members like your tenants who will share control of the home and its devices in your home. Take a look at this link for more information as well as for the step by step guide: https://bit.ly/2K0rOFH

Hope this helps. 

Best,

It would nice to have some restrictions on minimum and maximum temps. To ensure the home is maintainaned at least at  minimum legal requirements

Or pipes dont burst in the winter time.

I know my tenants are great, but I worry trying to save a few bucks they will burst a pipe.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Google Nest Community.

Safety Temperatures can prevent your home from going below a certain temperature by turning your heating on when the set limits are reached. This helps to ensure that your pipes won't freeze or that your home won't become damaged by excessive cold. Your Nest Thermostat will follow your Safety Temperature even if it's set to Off or Eco Temperatures, or your home is set to Away.
