Hello nobobs62,
Thanks for letting us know about your inquiry. It seems like you're facing a similar issue with your Nest Thermostat as another user did. If your thermostat is not waking up on approach and losing its Wi-Fi connection despite having good battery voltage, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot.
- Ensure that your thermostat is within a reasonable range of your Wi-Fi router. Poor signal strength can lead to connectivity issues. You might consider repositioning the thermostat or boosting your Wi-Fi signal.
- Try restarting or rebooting your thermostat. This can often resolve temporary glitches. To do this, you can go to the thermostat to restart settings.
- Ensure that your thermostat's software is up-to-date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause connectivity problems.
- In some cases, restarting the network settings on your thermostat can help. This involves removing and re-adding your thermostat to the Wi-Fi network. Make sure you have your Wi-Fi credentials handy before attempting this.
- Other electronic devices or appliances in close proximity to the thermostat may interfere with its Wi-Fi connectivity. Ensure there are no sources of interference nearby.
- Even though your battery voltage is good, it's worth double-checking the power settings on your thermostat's Equipment settings.
Let us know how it goes.
Best regards,
Mark
