Add your Nest thermostat to the Nest app

Note: You’ll need to be able to touch your thermostat to add it to your account in the Nest app. This means that you won’t be able to add it remotely. After you’ve added your thermostat to your account you’ll be able to use the Nest app on your phone, tablet, or computer to control your thermostat from anywhere.

To connect your Nest thermostat to your account, you’ll get an entry key from your thermostat and enter it with the Nest app.

Get an entry key from your thermostat:

 

1. Press your thermostat’s ring to open the Quick View menu.
2. Choose Settings .
3. Turn the ring to Nest app and press the ring to select it.
4. Select Get Entry Key to retrieve a unique entry key. Follow the next steps below to use your Nest app to add your thermostat to your account.

Tip: If you have trouble getting an entry key, you may have an issue with your home Wi-Fi network. Follow this link for some steps to take.
