Hey Lebertn26, 

 

Sorry for the delayed response but thanks for posting. 

 

Could it be that what you're looking for is the entry key in order to be able to add your Nest thermostat to your account? If yes, I've posted the steps to get the entrey key from your thermostat below: 

  1. Press your thermostat’s ring to open the Quick View menu.
  2. Choose Settings.
  3. Turn the ring to Nest app and press the ring to select it.
  4. Select Get Entry Key to retrieve a unique entry key. Follow the next steps below to use your Nest app to add your thermostat to your account.

Let me know if you need anything else. 

 

Best, 

Melba

Hi there, 

 

Understood. Are you tying to add this thermostat to another account? If yes, you need to first reset the account connection settings of it so that it will be disassociated from the account it is connected to now and will provide you an entry key to continue the setup. Check this out for the step by step guide: https://bit.ly/3f1m1Mc

 

Keep me posted. 

 

Best, 

Melba
