Impressively bad support for Nest x Yale lock

I had to reset my internet ad everything came back online except my Nest x Yale lock and Nest Connect. After some troubleshooting, I decided to call the help line and thus began an epic journey of confusion and sadness. 

The first person I talked to opened ticket 4-2383000033311. I was on the phone for 55 minutes with no resolution, except doing 3 factory resets and being told that my Bluetooth was interfering with the 2.4Ghz wifi signal. So after the first 50~ minutes, I asked for a supervisor. After a few minutes, I was then disconnected. 

 

I called back and asked to speak to a supervisor after waiting 20 minutes for a call back to file a complaint. The new person spent 10 minutes to convince that I only wanted to file a complaint and to transfer me to a supervisor.  I then had a call time of 65 minutes (this is on top of the already spent 55 minutes) when I was disconnected. To their credit, they did call back. 

 

When I finally got a supervisor, after another 14 minutes, he opened ticket 9-5174000032726 and then told me if I wanted to file a complaint, I had to do it online and he couldn't help me. The noise that came out of my mouth was somewhere between a sob and a gurgle of rage. I quickly composed myself and then asked if he was serious after all the time I had spent. He said yes, I said goodbye. 

 

I now write this still not believing I wasted over 2 hours on this. The best part is that after all of this. I wondered if the problem was really the Nest Connect and not the lock itself. I turned the lock off and on, now it works.  Yep, that was all it took.
