Thank you. Lived in my house for two years and never knew these had batteries, I thought they were hardwired.

Restart worked for me to resolve the low battery issue which occurred after power was cut overnight. Thanks for the help!

Thank you so much for this helpful video because my Nest was giving me the same issues! And I did exactly what you instructed and it fixed it! I appreciate this video!

This has been my problem on more than one occasion. Thank you

Thank you for this amazing video you helped me out a lot. I am charging my nest now.

This worked perfect, now it's back to normal thanks

Thanks for the info was helpful I saw both videos on low battery issues!

EXCELLENT tip on how to charge via USB-C! I have five wires, including the C, but every now and then I get a Low Battery and it doesn't work Thank you!

Thank you 🙏 so much that message just show up ( low battery ) abs I was W.T.F. I completely forgot that you can charge the nest by yourself. Thank you 🙏 again

Thank you so much, I was scratching my head for a while. Restart and that fixes my issue

Perfect. Solved my problem. Thanks!

Ours wouldn't connect to internet so I RESET it like you suggested and works fine now

This was really helpful, just bought a house with one of these. This guy felt like I was listening to a cool uncle talk to me the whole time, felt really at home, thanks!

Such a helpful video! Thank you!!!

If the AC or heat is ON for prolonged periods of time the power scavenging for charging the thermostat is not possible which is when the battery buffers power supply. When your battery gets old it can’t maintain the voltage for as long. When the battery voltage sags below 3.8 volts the nest drops Wi-Fi to conserve power and local control. The way to over come this is to wire the C terminal to the 24v ac supply from the control board or 24vac supply. You can also change your battery with a replacement from Amazon.

Thank you! I wish I had looked for your video instead of wasting my time on the Nest web site and app to figure out what was happening. They are going to run this product in the ground with terrible customer support. Glad you shared this info. Cheers.

Thank you kindly! I put mine to charge , husband replaced the whole thermostat! I HAVE A POINT TO PROVE 😅

Did the reset and so far so good. Thanks for the information!!

Thank you! This helped me!

Couldn't really tell for sure, but it didn't look like the "type C" charger to me. I think those are called "micro" chargers. The "type C" chargers look like a flattened oval to me, the micro ones have slanted edges so one side is smaller than the other.

Thank you! this was a great help!!

Thank you so much for your knowledge on this matter of the Nest thermostat. I have learned something new and thanks for the tip too. Stay safe and God Bless.

Thanks. Did both resets and still saw the error. Overnight the battery recharged and all good again!

Same issue. I reset the whole system, charged the Nest with the android cable, cleaned the outside coil with 409 and power washed the unit from all of the built up soot and grime. Nest worked back up and the voltage returned to normal from VOC 7.37V to VOC 36.14V. Thank you.

Perfect! Thank you!!

Well done bud thx!

excellent clip

Thank you for this brother

I agree on the Apple products. My new tabby kittie's feet's coffee beans are gray, looks cool with the black and tan fur. He's in my new icon!

Frosty I see you too have a humidistat as I do for the winter. I tried integrating it into the Next (Learning Thermo, just like yours) and could not get it to work even after reading through Google ideas. I gave up and have it run separately. Why didn't you hook your's up?

I tried everything before with zero success. After watching your video I reset the furnace and the system began working again. The LIN was at 20 and now it reads 40 and the problem has been resolved. Thanks for the suggestion to reset the furnace, that worked for me.

Thank you for sharing. Great tips*****

Yes, thank you. My thermo lost its charge today and this was very helpful on how to resolve it. Great channel by the way, I subscribed.

Issue fixed from restarting furnace. Thank you

Could the low power be a possible symptom of a bad transformer in the furnace? If it is what kind of transformer is it and where can I find it in the furnace? Thank you

Do you have your "C wire" connected? Will it change while on the base?

Thank you

is your nest connected to a baseboard heating furnace or forced air just curious.

Very helpful

Thank you for all your info. Your video helped alot.

You have no "C" connected. This way you have it connected will only charge when the system is actually working ( furnace firing or the fan running).

h v a c technician in the field since 2001 this would be the last product I would ever recommend for anybody to buy

Think this fixed my problem, had no idea I had to turn off the furnace and let it reset.

Some people get lucky and they have enough of a charging current supplied by their system to maintain proper battery voltage. If you are plagued with low battery issues that come and go, have the C wire connected! Nest saying that the C wire isn't needed is BS. That method does not work well for all systems.

fantastic...totally agree with your comments about Google Support....terrible

Cutting power to furnace for about one minute did the trick.

Thanks

My thermostat has been saying it has a low battery and I changed it and now it’s saying no power. I have reset it multiple times and even tried factory reset. No avail. Is there a way to have it run on just the battery instead of the direct source? I don’t have the thermostat where you can charge

Fun fact....don’t have an Android however a kindle cord works perfectly!!

HELLOGood❤

I did factory reset now I can get pass language it won’t let me in?

Thank you I forgot about charging it up

What model Google nest is it I don't have a c wire

I bought one of these Used, After installing it, it said "low battery"... I took it off charged it with USB, then put back on and after several hours later, even overnight, full charged! went from 3.52 battery/lin 20 to 3.72 battery/ lin 40! (Look under Tech Info)

Thank u for this help, I tried both so let’s see. Would u believe I call google nest and a representative name Chris asked me if I wanted him to work F$&king magic. He kept sending me an email that I wasn’t receiving. So I could get to verify my account. He asked me to go to the breaker which I wasn’t sure about because of all the things I had connected and just didn’t want to disrupt anything because I’m just a single mom and no help close by. This was 4am this morning. I hung up his call and tried calling back, the phone will answer but no response before disconnecting. I called a friend to call who lives 37 miles away and he got through. He put the phone on a three way call and I spoke with someone else who then rectify that Chris could not have been putting in the correct email. So disgusting! I was referred to a local troubleshooting company but hopefully your method works. Thanks again

😊❤️

Mine literally just did that lol 😆 I just walked over to the thermostat as soon as I started to turn the dial it reconnected smh. The way I wired mine the red wire go's to RC not rh didn't think it would matter

The NEST thermostat does not charge with an USB-C power cable.

I need entry key afraid to remove cover do I need to twist left or right to remove

goodSuper

Hey Frosty, story here, my wife was throwing a dog toy down the hallway and knocked the nest off the wall and damaged it. It was in the middle of the winter in Canada so I sent her out to buy a replacement. I installed the new Google version on the old Nest wall mount. Now it is 8 months later and I get low battery displays. Just wondering is there is a difference between older versiion and new google ? Currently charging with a usb and have turned off the furnace awaiting charge of thermostat.

Yes

I have been using this for a year. It worked all winter without any issue because thermostat get chrged by 12 v from furnace and now furnace is in sleep because nobody using heating right now. So resting the furnace will cause to charge the battery of thermostat.

No network find , what should i do ??

What does your furnace power have to do with charging the nest battery? Those are not connected.

You only need a common wire

Hi. Please help me. After connecting C wire, everything (Cool, Heat, Fan) is functioning. It shows a new wiring configuration and the current now reads 200mA. The battery voltage is 3.4V (low). The problem is after few minutes, a message pops up "the nest thermostat needs to shut down to recharge the battery", and it turns to the black screen. I thought after adding a C wire, the battery is not an issue anymore. What else I should do?

Do with a nest I don’t need a C wire correct? It’s battery operated? My tech found I have 4 wires only

Why is there an old thermostat next to the Nest?

I live in an apartment so I can't clean the furnace.

I should've taken NASA more seriously. Would have invested in nest stock. I didn't think the company would amount to much... lol @ myself.. Mar's Rocknest

Emerson Sensi Touch thermostat is way easier to use. No endless scrolling, nice big colour touch screen and app. Everything laid out clearly.

So did it eventually start charging on the wall by itself or did you have to continually remove it and charge it with a chord?

Temp set to 69. Nice.

it means you battery is going bad if you have to keep charging it

Don't buy a nest. Mine broke and was under warranty they never honored it but sent a bunch of BS promises to send new replacement.

That’s sounds like no fun

Mr. Frosty, where are you? Miss your vlogs it's been over 3 weeks. Don't you love us anymore?

Junk thermostat

After 4 years, got rid of this stupid invention. It sucks & advise the same.

Thanks

Thanks
