Hey cwo,

Glad to be of help. There could be a couple of reasons you are getting an off reading. 

Can you check the proximity of the following to your thermostat to see if these account for the incorrect reading?  

• Air vents that direct warm air across the thermostat
• Electrical outlets
• Appliances - including large televisions
• Plumbing (hot water pipes in old buildings are frequently uninsulated!)
• Other potential heat sources
• Warm air in the wall behind the thermostat

You may need to place your Nest in a different area as well as perform a factory reset on your device. Please let me know how that goes.

Best regards,

Jake
