Curious on how it knew the outside temperature if you weren’t finished setting it up. Unless when you connected to Wi-Fi, you enter your zip off camera.

Interesting. Obviously you're system is duelfuel. Would your furnace also be used for auxiliary heat? I live in California currently, where I was born, but grew up in Maryland and Michigan where both houses used heat pumps. To give a time reference, Maryland was in the 70s. Michigan from 1980 to my move to California in 1998. The house in Maryland was air sourced Michigan was water.

Is the Nest any smarter about aux heat on a heatpump? I have one of those Honeywell FocusPro thermostats and if I raise the temp by more than 1 degree it'll turn on the aux heat even if it's 50F outside. I added a switch in the white wire in the basement so the thermostat can't turn on the aux heat unless I turn that switch on. Incidentally, when it dropped to 6F overnight here, set point was 68F but indoor temp dropped to 64F due to no aux heat. I was OK with that. 15 SEER builder-grade Trane heatpump can keep my house at 64F when it's 6F outside not using any aux heat. I think that's pretty good. It's not so much the heatpump as it is that this house is pretty tightly constructed.

if you have an extra wire in your thermostat, just buy a 24 AC V adapter to get the power for the thermostat. Otherwise, you need to add a new one

[hit the button too soon] a question to see if i got this well understood --> my house is a ranch, bosch combi-boiler that drives 2-zone baseboard heating, and a goodman heat pump with installed electrical resistance heat strip for forced air heat and cool. there are 3 NEST E thermostats. i 'think' the rules for the system might go like this: (1) each NEST E for a baseboard zone would be conventional 1 stage heating: W1, C, G, Rh., with heat to turn off when temp > 40deg; (2) the NEST E for the heat pump + electrical resistance heat strip would be 1 stage heat pump with aux heat and emergency heat: W2, C, G, Rc, *, with heat pump set to turn off with temp

Hello, I have a Bryant system with following model numbers. I also found wiring info. mentioned below. I am unable to tell which wire needs to go to Nest learning thermostat in order to get everything working again. I connected A to G, B to Y, C to OB, D to Rh. I dont see furnace working and I am not getting any heat. Is this something you can help me with?

I have a Gen 1 Nest thermostat that i self installed to a circa 1994 York natural gas furnace and central AC unit. I just had everything replaced with a Bryant furnace and Mitsubishi heat pump. The installer removed my Nest and said the heatvpump has to use the basic (and dumb) thermostat from Mitsubishi. Can i use a Nest thermostat with this new heatpump setup? Doni need to upgrade to the most recent version?

@tomsviewphotographyadventu2514 Жыл бұрын

Why did you choose 30F as the switch-over point? I run a Goodman 16 SEER heat pump with propane furnace. I set mine to 23F. Is that too low?

@MaMa-qh4dy Жыл бұрын

Actually your 16 SEER heatpump is still efficient down to around as low as 0-10 deg. F

@Traci_S_Aaron Жыл бұрын

When a heat pump is in the defrost mode when in the heat mode it turns on the electric, heat strip and most heat pump arrangements. Centura doesn't have electric heat strips and you have a gas furnace. Does it do the same?.

@Jon-hx7pe Жыл бұрын

can have the gas furnace come on during defrost cycles instead, but have to be careful to not have it apply too much heat to the coil.

I owned this model of thermostat but ended up removing it after the thermostat began short cycling my HVAC. The issue was never truly fixed by the manufacturer. I would use the actual product and company names but it seems the AI mods are removing negative comments.

@Ybeazzie Жыл бұрын

The short cycling could be caused by low voltage to the thermostat. Did your system have a C cable?

@roberthernandez7564 Жыл бұрын

@@Ybeazzie That's one of several theories pertaining to this issue. Meanwhile, everyone affected had been long term Nest customers that all began reporting the problem following a specific software update. Nest refused to look at the code. Between this issue and Google's botched acquisition, moving to another platform was the easiest solution to my problem.

How do you disable the microphone in a nest thermostat? Asking for a friend who lost a relationship over it.

@roberthernandez7564 Жыл бұрын

This looks like a Gen 3 which predates the Google acquisition and therefore the inclusion of a microphone.

@craby987 Жыл бұрын

No Nest thermostats have a mic but pretty much every other Nest product does. Thermostats with power stealing would have a lot of trouble staying charged if they were using a mic and uploading voice 24/7. Don't take my word for it - check out recent tear downs of the newer thermostats
