accidentally deleted one of my thermostats from my app

[laladee]

I’m away for a month and I accidentally deleted one of my thermostats from my account. Is there a way to get it back?  if I’m not home? If not, will it remain at the same temp or does it shut off?  I was having offline issues with this particular one before I accidentally deleted. I was trying to delete the sensor in basement and I accidentally deleted my dining room/main floor. Can any please advise?

1. Open the Nest app.
2. On the Nest app home screen, tap the Settings cog.
3. Tap Add product. The app will switch to a camera view to scan the thermostat’s QR code.
4. On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu and tap the Settings cog.
5. Turn the ring to select Nest app and press to open it.
6. Select QR code. Your thermostat will show you a unique QR code to scan with the app. If it doesn't, tap Continue without scanning in the app and select Get entry key on your thermostat instead.
7. Follow the remaining steps in the Nest app. You should be able to skip certain screens as it's already setup.

If those steps don't work, you'll need to factory reset the thermostat and set it up again.

Hi laladee,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I apologize for the inconvenience. What type of Nest thermostat do you have? Do you have an iOS or Android device? Are you using the Google Home or Nest app?

If you have a Nest Learning Thermostat or Nest Thermostat E, even after you remove the thermostat from the app, it will continue to follow the existing temperature schedules. However, you will not be able to control it remotely from the app.

On the other hand, if you have a new Nest Thermostat and it has been removed from your account in the Google Home app, your schedules will be deleted from the device. You’ll still be able to control your home’s heating and cooling systems from the thermostat manually.

To add the device back to your account, you will need to be at the location.

Thank you for your help, davidking.

Best regards,
Lance
