After a Nest learning thermostat has been mounted to the wall and its wiring connections made, menus on the Nest thermostat will guide you through a sequence of Nest thermostat set-up steps in which you provide basic information that will allow the device to work properly.

Using photographs and text we expand on the Nest learning thermostat installation guide to show you what the various Nest displays look-like and to explain on more detail what you need to do at each step in the Nest initialization pocess. This article series provides detailed photographs and text describing how to how to install, make wiring connections, and then set-up a Nest Learning Thermostat, beginning with removing the old wall thermostat, labeling its wires, preparing the wall for the new thermostat, then installing the Nest Thermostat and getting it working nicely.

When first powered-on after mounting and wiring, the Nest thermostat will then pass through a number of self-intializing steps. The Nest, now happily connected to the Internet, will check for and download any updates to its programming software. Depending on the model and software level of your Nest thermostat, you may see displays such as those just above, or other Nest update displays such as the two shown below.

After the Nest has enjoyed visiting it's birth-home website to check for updates to its instructions it will re-start. You may see the display go black, then it will be illuminated again. When the Nest programming is complete, rotating the outer bezel selects among major features and functions such as checking or setting time, main display or thermostat, setback or energy savings settings, etc, OR when you are in the process of setting a Nest parameter rotating the outer bezel chooses a function or setting that you then activate by pressing the display face inwards.

In case it's not immediately obvious, you choose a menu choice by rotating the outer bezel of the Nest thermostat to highlight your selection, then as we illustrate below, to confirm your choice, press the center of the display to select your choice.

For exapmle, below I've dialed the nest outer ring to select the letter "A" and I'm pressing the display face to select that choice - this step was in the course of entering the Internet router passcode for this thermostat - as you'll see in more detail just below. Since this thermostat was not located in Middletown NY Nest's guess was close but not correct , we rotate the outer ring of the thermostat to select the "No" option then press the center of the display to activate that choice.

When you select "No" Nest will allow you to select your continent, then your country [illustrated below]. Don't worry if you make a data entry error. As you progress through the Nest thermostat programming steps you'll see that the display will let you know your progress among the steps. Above: the check-marks tell us that we've successfully told the Nest thermostat our language, we've set up and successfully connected the thermostat to the internet via a local router and router password, we've told the Nest where the building is located, and we've described the type of heating system that's to be controlled by the thermostat.

N ext will be to tell the Nest some temperature preferences. Below you can see the Nest thermostat's report of the results of its test that it could control the heating system.

The two images below are taken from a Nest 2 learning thermostat installation. Below: this is what you'll see when the Nest 3 Thermostat installation and programming are complete. The display shows the present temperature 71 deg F and the set temperature - the temperature that you're asking-for 60 deg F.

Below: I have set the Nest thermostat to call for 69 degrees F in the room by rotating the silver outer ring of the Nest. And just below the thermostat itself, I'm using an Exergen infrared temperature scanner to compare the approximate temperature of the wall below the Nest thermostat to the Nest's own indication of the room temperature.

They both agree that the room - in the area of the thermostat - was at 71 deg F. We have installed three of these in our test building and will report further on ease of installation, programming, and use as well as using and adjusting the Nest thermostat remotely from your cellphone, computer, or tablet.

Shown here: Nest thermostat status on a smartphone app. Press the circled icon to change thermostat mode. Manually, at the thermostat , press the Thermostat, then turn the dial to select cooling mode.

I illustrate that just below. Remotely using the Nest thermostat control app; touch the "heat" or "cool" icon at the bottom left of the thermostat display screen to see the thermostat setting options. If that's what you see shown above intwo images then your thermostat cannot control cooling mode and some wiring changes are needed.

Meanwhile, most-likely there is a second separate thermostat: one controlling heat and the other cooling. That second case would be an odd installation for a heat pump set-up. If you think that your thermostat should be able to control both heating and cooling modes then let's check what wiring is connected. Stepping through the thermostat set-up steps at the thermostat and that can also be reviewed beginning. If you don't see both of those as I show above then either the wire is not connected or it's broken or disconnected somhere in its route.

For heat pump set-ups that should be able to provid both heating and cooling, if the system won't switch into HEAT mode from COOL when it should or vice versa, and if the problem is not the thermostat or thermostat settings or wiring, then the problem is more-likely at the heat pump control-board or at the relay in the heat pump that switches between heating and cooling modes in the unit itself.

Terry: There are two ways to get past a lost PIN for a Nest smart thermostat: using the app on your smartphone or using controls right at the thermostat itself. You do that using the Nest App on your computer or smartphone. Choose the Settings icon. You'll have to confirm you want to proceed.

Turn the ring to move the dial on the screen from the left all the way to the right and press to select OK. You'll see the thermostat start a countdown and move itself to factory reset. You'll need to start over entering your custom settings after the factory reset. Using the Computer or Smartphone App to reset the Nest Thermostat I have had an easier time with some Nest thermostat installation glitches by using the smartphone Nest app. To follow that procedure, using the app on your smartphone, here are Google Nest's instructions for resetting the PIN: Open the Nest app.

Select the Nest thermostat that has the PIN you want to change. Once your Nest thermostat has been unlocked, you can select Lock in the Nest thermostat settings to lock it again and set a new PIN.

My nest 3rd Generation Thermostat is locked and unable to unlock having forgotten the pin number. The programme tells me to refer to thermostat settings and then Next app. However the system will not allow access into thermostat settings it immediately refers back to Enter Pin. Please help me to unlock the thermostat?? David Apologies but I'm reduced to guessing until you can offer some details: "Won't accept" a fan wire? Can't connect the wire to the terminal?

Nest doesn't see the connection? Or is the diameter of your wire too large for the connector? Are you wiring a thermostat wire? Watch out: Don't try wiring live voltage wires directly to the thermostat! On by mod - sound of a fan running in the attic.

Candace I'll be glad to help but need more information to do more than wave in the dark from quarantine here over the wall in central Mexico. First: what are the country and city where your new home is located? Are you getting heat at all or are you cold? What is the kind of heating system? If so tell me what you see by way of equipment. Is there - an attic ventilating fan - a large metal box that is the air handler for a forced air heating system or a heat pump? We have just moved into a nest run heater only home..

Perform update with WIFI. Set to cool and turned temp down to test system, it went through it's 5 min delay and went to cool mode and then went right back to 5 min. Perhaps we are looking at a control board problem or control board dip switch setting problem.

Jim That sounds as if the separate air conditioning wire connections were not made. I have a heat pump system. When I ran the heat and cool tests it worked fine. I finished the setup and and it was hot in the house so I turned it to 72 but all I get is heat. It is set on cool but nothing but heat comes out.
