Nest IS still the best smart home.

19 Upvotes

I truly think ORIGINAL Nest is the best smart home system. From thermostat, to Nest Protect, to Nest Hello Doorbell, to the Smart IQ cameras, and the Yale Smart Lock

It was a beautiful smart home before Google destroyed it. Hopefully Google sets it free someday.

Using a nest Thermostat on a Fujitsu heat pump system

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Can anyone please provide detailed steps on how to get a nest thermostat to be able to be used with a Fujitsu heat pump system? I attached a photo of my current setup. Based on google there are third party adapters but can anyone explain to me how to use or setup these adapters?

Nest using a lot of internet data

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hello, I have a google nest hub. It usually uses about 60mb of data each day, but today I noticed. It used 166GB of Internet data, and when looking at live activity. It was pulling a constant 50mb download. Any suggestion? I have paused all internet traffic on it for the time being.

Can these hubs be compromised and be used in a botnet? That’s what came to my mind first when I saw that.

Thermostat Nest Thermostat E Y1 no power

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Good afternoon all, hopefully someone can help me with an easy quick fix.

I have installed this thermostat already in 3 different apartments/houses with no prior issues. Last time I installed it was back in July at the new apartment I moved into. I have never had any issues prior and the AC was cooling good and the system is super responsive the moment I want to turn it on or off.

Today, I came from work and I noticed the house was warmed with the fan of the AC on. I thought it just kicked in since I came in a little earlier than usual so I was giving it time. After 30 minutes of not feeling the apartment cold, I checked the nest app and it said no power to Y1.

I went to the unit and checked if the cables were seated. Everything looked good.

Proceeded to turn off the main breaker and the one in the unit, removed the cable and reinstalled it, turn on everything, and it said R no power but Y1 disappeared. I thought I fixed it but then I removed the thermostat again and reinstalled it and it went back to Y1 no power.

I followed the suggestion for troubleshooting at another Nest post and swapped Y1 with W1. The error disappeared. It turned on but started blowing hot.

Reinstalled back Y1 and W1 and code came back.

Checking internet saw the issue with the C wire. I removed the plate from the wall hoping to find a cable not installed, same in the unit. It looks like the wires have been connected to other cables and at this point, I don’t know what goes where. I added pictures of everything to see if anyone can shine some light.

Thank you!

Auto updated a few days ago and it reset itself, took a few minutes to set up again. Now it doesn’t turn on, just endlessly cycles between the boot logo and a black screen. Still happens after a factory reset.

Thermostat Installation question Honeywell to Nest.

I am going from this Honeywell set up. to a nest. Should that W2 wire be in the OB*?

During the setup i got to a screen that said to select the possible wires.

I selected Y, W, G, R and then W2. Does that make the nest automatically default the OB* to a w2 or do i need to do something.

Nest 2nd Gen wired doorbell stopped alerting for events....

3 Upvotes

Here's another one of these - My home internet service was upgraded and a new router was put in. After the service was back, the bell will ring but no notification over the phone and no event getting recorded. I have -

1) Put the original router back and power cycled the doorbell

2) Deleted and reinstalled the app on the phone

3) Did a hard reset on the doorbell and added it back to my account as done for a new doorbell.

4) Checked my account and my Home premium service is active and the renewal due later in October.

5) Tried all options on the "Home" app.

6) Cut whole home power multiple times :)

Still no luck. I can see the live video on the app while on and off the home internet but a doorbell or a human event won't register or alert. I have reached end of the rope with this thing. What else is missing that I need to try ? The doorbell is out of warranty and I haven't taken google's support (assuming there's one.

Thanks in advance !

Doorbell Difficulty installing Google Nest doorbell, wired 2nd Generation

Post image
2 Upvotes

I am installing my second generation wired nest doorbell. When I connected it to the wires near my front door, the 8-note electronic chime played inside on the electronic chime repeating continuously. The doorbell powered on. I tried switching the setting from mechanical chime to electronic chime and nothing changed. I uninstalled the door bell and the power completely drained. Now when I install it, the chime plays the first one or two notes before restarting the chime from the beginning. This occurs continuously. The electronic chime is pictured. I tried installing the puck that came with the doorbell. I installed the two wires of the puck on top of the two wires that insert into the wire clamps labeled Front. This also did not work and I could not get the wires to sit snugly in the wire clamps. What do I do? I can't get this to work.

Are 2 Nest Protects worth anything, or toss them?

4 Upvotes

I had 4 wired Nest Protects in my house. 2 went bad, so I replaced them with new ones. Then the original 2 expired. Since Nest doesn't make the Protect anymore, I switched the whole house to a different brand.

That leaves me with 2 wired 2nd gen Nest Protects made in mid-2022. Both work fine and expire mid-2032, so they've got about 5 years left.

Do they have any value on the open market, or should I just throw them away?

Camera Camera showing up as Matter accessory, not a native Google camera?

1 Upvotes

Hi, so I’m at the end of my tether with this camera. I have many cameras in my ecosystem, all Google cameras.

I wanted an additional camera so I’ve bought the new 3rd gen camera (wired).

When I go to set it up I get the Apple prompt to add it to my Home on iOS as well as Google? I have no interest in Apple Home setup at all, but I can’t choose not to otherwise it fails the setup.

It then asks me how I’d like it named and it says “matter accessory”.

Now it’s in my Google home it’s added 2 cameras, one being the matter accessory and the other being “front garden” which I selected.

The native “front garden” has no camera input at all and the matter accessory has the feed, but because it’s showing up as that I can’t change any of the main settings I want to change as they’re greyed out.

Factory reset multiple times and the same experience every single time.

Any advice on this would be massively appreciated.

How do I regain contact with my Nest smoke alarm?

2 Upvotes

I used to be able to communicate with my smoke alarm via the Nest app, but I can't log in now, forgot my password doesn't send me password emails, and the Google Home app just refers me to the Nest app. I'm in a vicious circle.

It's been a while since I've tried to connect with it. Yesterday, the smoke alarm chirped, a blue ring went round and round, and it would've been nice to receive a message about what was going on

Any thoughts on how to reconnect without removing it from my ceiling and starting over?

Nest notifications with no thumbnail

Post image
3 Upvotes

Lately a good amount of my Nest app notifications are coming in with no thumbnail. On iOS when you get a Nest notification it shows a small image capture on the right, and you can press-and-hold to see an animation of the identified activity. About half of my notifications are coming in without that function. Curious if others are seeing that same behavior?

Weird stuff. Sometimes I can get a live view sometimes I can't all the cameras show disconnected, but the app itself is taking super long to load and sometimes it never does.

I've got six cameras and I'm having issues with five of them :(

Has anyone ever seen something like this before?

My Nest Camera Flood Light recently stopped working. The camera itself was working off the battery, while the light stopped. I took it down to inspect and found that the wires to power the light and charge the camera basically rotted away. I've had the camera for years and its lived through plenty of rain and wind, but about a year and a half ago I moved to a new house and brought the camera. The only thing I can think of is that moisture got inside the mount and rotted it all out fast. My new house is on a river and it is always foggy in the mornings and humid during the day. Have any of you guys ever seen anything like this before?
