I have a heating system with "microvolt" two-wire thermostats and Google was not able to provide a way yo use a Nest on the this simple system. So I bought a used 1st-gen Nest to experiment. First, I don't have 24V power at the thermostat (runs for over a year on two AAAs), so I had to buy a simple 24VAC adapter (could be a $5 option from Google, nut noooooo...) Then I needed an $8 24V relay so the Nest can switch the heater control without pumping 24V into the system. Trying to find an actual wiring schematic for the Nest was maddening - a million useless YouTubes though. But in the end, I have a heating control I can run remotely. I left the regular thermostat hooked up in parallel, because Google don't know winter
The poor thing tries to control the heat, but my AC is working right. It will run and run to get the temp down; then it's almost like the AC warms back up. Things were fine with my old controller, but being in a wheelchair, I wanted more control. I had a "Pro" install it, back again that day. For two days, I ran the heater, worked like a champ. Next two days I kept having them back to fix it. It's still not working as it should. I think it works great or will once the A C is fixed.
Installed easily, works perfectly. The smart functions help me keep electric bills down. Best of all it looks great on my wall. Well worth looking into.
