Original t-stat had only red, green and white wires.  Nest connection works temp setting but doesn't connect to internet and states low battery- I am thinking original wire colors do not match nest color tab, but can't find solution

thanks

It sounds like you have a heat-only system with just those three wires.

The Nest Thermostat E may or may not work correctly without a C wire, depending on the type of heat system you have. I always recommend that you install a C wire if there is a spare wire, or you can use the Nest Power Connector.

Thanks again for responding and for your suggestion, Patrick_Caezza. 

 

wbalmer1, I wanted to ensure everything is covered here. Have you had the chance to try Patrick's suggestion above? You may also check on this link to know more about our Nest Power Connector should you don't have a spare wire to use as a C wire: https://bit.ly/3z34z2e
