Need help troubleshooting my Nest thermostat not working. In the app it says "can't connect to wifi since it isn't

GFI outlet or breaker?

No breaker switches are flipped. I flipped the AC breaker off and on just to see if that would do anything. It didn't.

Do you have your old thermostats stashed in a drawer? Maybe reattach those and see if you can get it to work. Stop gap

I'm pretty sure we do. Whether I'll be able to figure out how to reconnect it is another story.

Can you disconnect the thermostat to restart them?

You can pull them off the wall. The wires seem to be connected fine. But it would be weird if both thermostats had wire

I agree. I'm just thinking maybe a restart to both devices would help flush out

You can charge them via usb. They should be getting power from the furnace but it’s a vampire charge not a dedicated

This is the correct answer. I’ve had this happen

I was able to disconnect the wall unit and charge that with the USB. So, I'm getting the display now. But it's still

Chemish

Charge the head unit fully with USB

I went up to the attic to check the furnace. I'm sure there must be a fuse there but I certainly couldn't find it.

Take off the panel. It’s a small rectangle with a number on it. Most like 5.

Question - what happens to your HVAC operations when you lose internet service?

They've always continued to work even if we lose internet

Chemish

So the internet connection is more about making changes than operating?

Acorn

Yes

Are the thermostats connected to separate HVAC/furnish units?

I've seen two thermostats on one unit before. Usually the second thermostat controls a damper to let air through that

WDaddy

I need this to force more air into the master bedroom at night.

Yeah, it's one AC unit but it's split for upstairs and downstairs

Ended up being a loose wire in a panel board in the attic. So, $79 later is running again.
