Your video is great. My husband passed and I didn’t know the password. With your help I was able to reset the thermostat and not have to buy a new one like I thought I would have to do. Thank you!
Thank you very much. You mentioned about Account Connection. I did not know this existed. I was about to Factory Reset the thermostat to change account!!
This is the second home in which ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).
Thank you for the video. Do you have to factory reset when you buy new phones. I have not been able to view my home temperature or history since upgrading my phone.
The house I brought already have nest thermostats already installed. My husband hit reset by mistake and we don’t know what kind of electric we have so what should we do? Which one should we select for electric?
Will this factory reset help me get the cooling to work again?... my apartment never gets hot in the summertime or if it's hot outside because I have all wood flooring and the position of my apartment doesn't allow the sun to really come in but it was a little humid out the other day and I just wanted to just run the cooling setting for a few minutes but because it's been so cold I've had the heater on for months and now the cooling won't work so just wanted to know if this reset will help with that ....I don't want to fool with it if it's not going to work and if it's something that I need to call maintenance in for so I'm asking you first.... by the way the cooling work perfectly when I moved in so it wasn't already malfunctioning I just haven't used that setting in months THANKS 🤗
@@roybatty6368 You are so right 😂....When the technicians came to my home it was determined that all I needed was a new thermostat....problem instantly solved.....WHERE WAS YOUR RESPONSE A YEAR AGO 🤣...Blessings
How do you know what type of heating you have E.G gas or electric etc ? Or does it not really matter ? It’s a new home built in 2019 and has a newer type of heating coming from ceiling . Please help
Bought a new house where the previous owner didn't reset the Nest. This shows how to follow the visual directions on a Nest. I was looking for help that wasn't obvious.
Hello I moved in to my new house , Nest Thermostat was working just fine at 72 , keeping in mind I live like 30 mints away from Palm Springs so is HOT, is being 3 days when I turned it on it is working just fine at 72 cool and fresh , than now is show 2+ it will be bump to 83 F , I already reset it to manufacture, how can I just keep it at 72? Any suggestions please , any body???
how can you do a factory reset IF the unit is locked? Kids entered a password that we do not know/ forgot, but I do not want to go buy a new unit. Is this an option? Thanks
I am based in London UK, my Nest doesn't seem to talk to the boiler, even the display is showing 19 o C the heating in the house is about 25-26 C. Can someone please help
In my case, the app instructed me to reset the nest because I couldn’t connect to it upon initial installation. The best only displays a message: use the app to connect. There is no menu. What now?
Yes, but you would need to plug it into a charger to power it up. Sometimes it will allow you to still scroll through the menu when it's charged up and you can reset it.
One Hour Smart Home I had the same problem. I tried plugging it in l, but all it did was tell me to attach it to the base. The power cord needs to be removed to attach it to the base and while attached to the base screen would not light up to allow me to restore it.
It automatically calibrates but you can adjust the set temperatures on app or thermostat. Watch this video if you want to learn how: ua-cam.com/video/ZPQHvpnsnpU/v-deo.html
But when it’s stuck in no power mode you can’t do anything. Thing is junk. Don’t understand why they need to make this so difficult. Bring me back to the 90s
Nope. It didn't work. I need to change the pin number . Nobody knows how to do it. Not even the people who installed it. The app instructions don't work, either.
Product is garbage. Smart thermostat was a horrible purchase. We have had ours a little over a year and it breaks every few months. Wish we never got it.

nest is truly a pain. It's like it has a mind of its own. thanks for the video
Can you advise how to reset with forgotten PIN? Thanks!
This only works if you can get to settings. But what if there is a pincode on it?
Same problem here
Can you advise if this is the only process to add back to my iPhone Nest app as it asks for a password that never comes up.
Thank you! Bought a new house.... so many irritating things to reset.... I'm used to old school... I appreciate your video

Hello Sir should I do a Reset on my nest because the delays are just way too long and I just want to start fresh again.
After the factory reset for new owners I just want to use it manually without adding in any new information?

Reset Auto Schedule. Then go to settings -> Smart Nest and turn off auto schedule
how can you do a factory reset IF the unit is locked? Kids entered a password that we do not know/ forgot, but I do not want to go buy a new unit.
Is this an option?
Thanks
i have the same question
Me too
How do you do it on the mirror version ? It's not showing this option

Hi, should I delete my nest app settings first or this nest device first?
I can’t get the entry key will this get me the new entry key?? The app works on my iphone pro max 11 but not on my new iPhone 14…..
Thank you!
Thank You! I appreciate you being a subscriber!
Our thermostat is locked, impossible even to click on these settings
How do you reset 3rd generation thermostat if it is not connected to Heatlink? This video does not work in that case
In my case, the app instructed me to reset the nest because I couldn’t connect to it upon initial installation. The best only displays a message: use the app to connect. There is no menu. What now?

Yeah he's over by the south loop/Pilsen area hahaha
Is it possible to reset to factory settings a nest that is no longer connect to a furnace?
Yes, but you would need to plug it into a charger to power it up. Sometimes it will allow you to still scroll through the menu when it's charged up and you can reset it.

If I'm moving, should stop after factory resetting, or still go ahead and setup without wifi, App etc ?
I would probably setup without wifi and just put a some basic set points in there so the pipes dont freeze or the place doesn't get to 100 degrees.
You left out the two most important things I needed.... linking it to account and WiFi connection! Jeez.
Nice video, very clear explanation and easy steps to follow up. Thanks
peoria Illinois, me too. can you come fix mine?
Is it possible to factory reset it when it’s not connected to the furnace
Yes, if you plug in a usb power Adapter in the back sometimes you will be able to reset the device while it is powered up.
Definitely needed this video thanks
These instructions actually worked!!! Great instructions. Thanks
Thanks👍
Thanks
After constant nagging by the app to link to my Google account, I did so. Will a factory reset remove the connection to my Google account?
No answer huh
Huge help! Thanks!

Mine dosent have account connection

Warning a lot of issues with this thermostat. The reset will shut down your system if you miss a step.
I need to reassign my Nest first generation to another part of my house
I don’t necessarily wanna reset the entire thing just rename it because I have a third generation on one to install in its place
I moved into a new house landlord doesn’t know password old tenant changed it can’t even get to settings my house has no heat and I got 2 kids
highly recommend this purchase!
Thank you!! 😊
Nope. It didn't work. I need to change the pin number . Nobody knows how to do it. Not even the people who installed it. The app instructions don't work, either.
did you ever figure it out? I'm having that problem now.

Have we time travelled back to the 1970s... who the fuck used Fahrenheit?
Biggest piece of junk you can buy. The touch screen never works. Won't rotate and spin. Wtf google

Idk
I forgot the password
What a f-ing disaster of a product. Don’t buy, but you’re probably too late when you read this.
thank you!
