New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 08, 2022) follows:
The Google Nest IoT product series also includes a Thermostat. Like other Nest devices, it is part of a home automation or Smart Home system that facilitates and automates various tasks.
However, various reports indicate that users of the device are facing issues related to the temperature control system in their homes.
Apparently, for some users, the Google Nest Thermostat is randomly changing the temperature. And, the issue could be caused by the type of cable used.
Random temperature changes on the Nest Thermostat for some
According to multiple reports, the Nest Thermostat is not maintaining the desired temperature control by all its users in their homes. This is something very frustrating for those who suffer from it.
At some point in the day, the Google Nest Thermostat randomly changes the set temperature values. So, it is not to the liking of the affected users.
It should be noted that the issue is not only affecting scheduled temperatures. Some reports indicate that, even if a manual temperature setting is established, it could still randomly change.
The problem could be caused by the wiring type
Apparently, the problem is related to the type of cable used. One user points out that, after contacting Google support, the response was that all wiring should be solid copper (not stranded wire).
So, users affected by the problem can only replace the wiring of their Thermostat (if they use stranded wire), or replace the Thermostat at home.
Finally, if new events arise related to this matter, we will update this article.
