Use home Ambient weather station as nest thermostat weather source

DanFr

We live in a large zipcode that does not fully reflect my neighborhood. I run my own Ambient Weatherstation (connected to assistant and Weather Underground).

Why can't I use my own weather station as a weather source for my Nest Learning Thermostat?

Hey DanFr,

 

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this. No worries, we'll check this out. The outdoor temperature is displayed in the web app, mobile app and on the thermostat quick view.

 

  • You can confirm the zip or postal code under Home Info in the app, or in Settings > Location on the thermostat. The zip or postal code should match where the home is located.
  • Confirm the current weather by using Google weather.  You can complete this by going to https://goo.gle/2K5DhQB and typing the zip or postal code in followed by the weather (Example: 78731 weather).

Thanks,

Archie

I want it to use MY hyper-local weather station for a source - not the web (which works fine). It could even use the UV (sun) indicator to help predict comfort inside - if it used my weather station.

Hello folks,

 

This is cool, DanFr! We appreciate your request for this additional feature to use your own weather station with the Nest Thermostat. However, Nest Thermostats only gather data from https://goo.gle/3aOeso7. So, please let our product team know about it by sending feedback, and rest assured that our team is working non-stop with different partners to bring the best features to the Google Nest devices. Also, please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Otherwise, this thread will be locked within 24 hours.

 

Thanks for helping, Archie.

 

Regards,

Mark

I thought this was the way to give feedback! SMH I'll check the suggested links but  I think that is how I got here. .
