Hi @Suzzie,

Thanks for posting in the community. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Nest thermostat. It sounds like the dial in your app isn't controlling the thermostat, but touching it directly works. Let's figure this out together.

I would like to gather more information about the situation and find a resolution for it. Please answer the following questions: 

  • What Nest thermostat model do you have?
  • Do you only have one Wi-Fi network, or are there others?
  • How far away is the thermostat from the router?
  • Are there devices or appliances (such as baby monitors, microwaves, cordless phones, etc.) near the thermostat?
  • What's the software version of your thermostat?
  • Are you controlling your thermostat from the Nest or Google Home app or the thermostat display?
  • If from the Nest or Google Home app: "Is your mobile device on a different Wi-Fi network than the thermostat? If that is the case, please make sure to connect both devices under the same WiFi network. 

As a first step, let's try rebooting your router and thermostat. Please let me know if this helps.

Best regards,

Lusvin.
