Resetting Nest Thermostat

How do I reset or restart my Nest Thermostat

  • Press your thermostat ring to open the Quick View menu.
  • Choose the Settings icon.
  • Turn the ring to Reset and press to select.
  • Read below for details on what each option will do.
Restart Your Nest Learning Thermostat will not lose any of your information or settings if you restart it, similar to a computer, phone or tablet. You’ll see the message The thermostat is restarting. Back in a bit. Then your thermostat will boot up again, and you can continue using it.
Away Your thermostat learns when you’re at home and when you’re out to use Home/Away Assist. If you move your thermostat in your home, or you move to a new home, you should use this option. Your thermostat will learn about its new location after a few days.

Tip: You can improve Home/Away Assist by using your phone location.

Schedule Choosing this option will clear your entire heating schedule. Any setpoints that your thermostat has learned or that you’ve created will be erased. You’ll need to create a brand-new schedule from scratch, or wait a few days while your thermostat learns your new schedule.

Note: If your Nest Thermostat controls your hot water, choosing the schedule option from the reset menu will also remove any schedule you’ve set for your domestic hot water. You’ll need to set up your hot water schedule again.

Network Resetting the network will remove all of the network information from your thermostat. Your thermostat will no longer be connected to the Internet and it will forget your Wi-Fi password.

To connect your thermostat to the Internet again, you’ll need to select your Wi-Fi network from the Settings > Network menu.
