I love how things seem so difficult until someone else shows you different.

[@oliverbarrera4161]

“And C for color blue” LMAO

[@plexguy]

C for ****** or common wire (;

Jason throws mini spy away in protest, installs a Nest anyways... Jason says this was an easy set up, who needs instructions (aloud)... Jason laughs, Siri laughs, the fridge laughs they all had a good time... the fridge even knew that Jason wanted ice just as he walked into the kitchen... what a world we live in.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@darknessinmusic]

Tim Box best comment ever! I was thinking the same thing!

[@h3ll0_2]

Lol

[@Impractical_Engineer]

Its such a joy watching jason use power tools on things that do not require power tools. I would love to watch Jason learn how to use a drill and learn the function of the clutch.

Btw y2 is for a 2nd stage cooling. W2 is for 2nd stage heating. Depending on the settings if for example the house needs to heat up 5 degrees it will run at 50% capacity. W1 More than 5 runs at 100% W2 I have installed a few of these and have yet to get one to work fully with out the c (common). If you run into proprietary equipment links Lenox furnace and thermostat your wiring probably will not work. Usually labeled abcd. It will still work but will need to rewire the furnace first.

[@Lunalysis]

Without a common lead at the thermostat, the nest will invariably have problems. Nest needs constant power to operate, which it gets from an internal battery charged by the common (24v?) connection. Without that C wire it taps current from the fan lead, so while the fan is running, the battery charges. This isn't a problem in the winter or summer when the fan tends to run a good deal. In the spring and fall, however, when the heat or air conditioner doesn't run much, if at all, when the nest battery needs to charge, it will send a false signal to the HVAC system and supposedly cycle the fan on and off to provide the necessary charge. What happened with ours was that it also turned the heat on, so the house was heated until the battery was charged enough. This caused a few 80°F+ mornings which wasn't too energy efficient. Called Nest and they paid for a "certified" Nest tech to come out and look at it. The first guy they sent out wasn't qualified to service anything more than a coal stove. The second guy spend two hours on the phone with Nest, switching wires and scratching his head saying "I can't understand it. This should work." I finally put the old thermostat back, which just worked.

[@axsdnyd2989]

Ever since I installed my Nest I have been having a problem with it. When I want heat, Nest turns only the fan. And when I want it off, the fan takes forever to turn off. I don’t understand what’s going on. I installed this device according to the instructions.

[@NielsCG]

we all have a spy device with us at all times... it's called a cellphone

[@martas1046]

Thanks, Jason. Great simple, quick, instructional video. Thank you for not making this video all about Jason - with a "cute", rambling back story - as so many KZbin instructors do. I feel empowered to install the Nest.

[@Adamladd]

When Jason bytes back at the mini spy but installs the thermostat spy like no big deal.

[@pathomefinder]

I enjoyed the humor....... This guy takes things apart the way I do. loved the video

[@Sebanisu]

You might need to hook up extra power wire. My battery in the nest died. There is videos on youtube. The nest leeches power off the Heating and Air. But, sometimes it isn't enough juice. Though looking at the diagram you might already have that wire hooked up. I had another issue once where the nest wouldn't tell the air conditioning to turn on so heat would come out. That required a RMA.

[@patchrick84]

That's the blue C wire. He's good to go! I had the same issue in my last house, had to connect the C wire, which thankfully was already there but just not connected.

[@markshaz8691]

The title of the video is very apt. "It saw me, it saw me it knows I'm here" 🤣🤣🤣

[@CMK-BigFoot-1420]

Thank you so much, every other video over complicates everything and this video gets straight to the point

[@I-watch-at-2x]

I have a tip for you to save money. Set your thermostat to 78 and leave it. You'll be amazed how much money you'll save. For instance, my electric bill is $120 in the summer.

Now wait for the ppl to get triggered for trowing away a spy mini..and the nest is like: HELLLLLO JASON.... I CAN SEEE YOOOOOOOU.... MOHAHAHAHAAHA *NEST EVIL LAUGHTER*

[@robertt9342]

Are you mocking the ppl for saying the nest comments or are you actually saying them yourself?

[@ScrotumPole]

HOW are you still alive?

[@BilliumGates]

It sounds like you may be low on refrigerant or your filter may be dirty. If you haven't been changing your filter often (1 - 3 months) your unit may be clogged internally and could need to be disassembled and cleaned. When you have someone come look at it they should have a wireless temperature sensor and should demonstrate to you that the air at your return air is one temperature and the air coming out of a vent is significantly lower (~55 degrees, depends on model etc).

[@mattthomas1217]

As a service tech in hvac nest is probably the one t stat we hate installing just cause they have so many issues with them. Would recommend something else to be honest.

[@SuperKiller177]

Like what 🤔

[@fedemtz6]

I would rather get an Ecobee instead of a spying thermostat

[@buddiec]

Have both the ecobee4 has Alexa built in so spying two ways lol

[@Lia-kv7qi]

The title of the video is extremely accurate Lol 😂

[@j4miee]

Surprisingly funnier than I expected a thermostat video to be

[@cambamthelowman8584]

I prefer to just maintain the same temp all the time. It is better for the overall health of the equipment.

[@user-po8hm5ed8j]

waste of energy isn't it? Why does it need to be as warm when you are not home or in bed? I try to conserve energy as much as possible....better for the environment and our wallets :)

[@canadian8764]

KZbin, WiFi thermostat and a cell phone, there watching you either way...

[@daneh977]

My problem is where you turn the temp down it won’t cool, it’s stuck where the higher temperature is at, it says it’s cooling but won’t go down the specified temp. I’ve even reset the device and it’s stuck on the higher temp mode. Where it’s stuck at that higher temp is at the end where he’s sneaking up.

[@clarenskybenoit8755]

Plot-twist: The thermostat is the spy lmao.

[@ashlynstout3482]

Thank you for this entertaining tutorial!

[@reneedito4113]

You are hysterical! Nest is fun, but things will go wrong. Have had it for a year now, and after texting Nest because no one can pick up the darn phone because of Covid- 19 was texting back and forth for almost 2 HOURS for them to tell me it must be the WiFi chip that's not working!! Which we already knew. Then it says I'm not home when I am......

[@genebranson7630]

Installed 2 Nest learning thermostats just replaced 1 after having to paying to have it diagnosed that it was bad. Just purchased 2 Honeywell and going to install them and remove the junkie Nest.

[@radhakrishnanmuthusundaram7435]

First, before you buy the thermostat, ensure whether your HVAC unit is compatible with the Google NEST thermostat. Example: Carrier HVAC units mostly are proprietary.

[@Nosjamesmenzer]

Jason if you dont want the google home mini than give it to someone

[@jacksp8452]

9:14 that’s what he said

[@tourproven]

Most the thermostats on Amazon say "requires C-wire" or "C-wire adapter"...does that just mean a blue wire? (LOL, but seriously though). Actually just looked behind my old thermostat and the wire going into the "C" slot is brown...does that matter?

[@ayc9403]

Hi, why did you go red into Rc not Rh? what's the difference

[@arbknight12]

I don’t have WiFi set up yet Is WiFi required for installation? Or can I add WiFi functionality later?

Make sure your fan is on auto and you may have a leak unfortunately and 71 is kinda low

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

71 is just too chilly for me personally. 77 is that perfect sweet spot in the summer. Can always add some breeze with a ceiling fan. I only have it drop down to 74 an hour before bed. Winter time? Hovering between 62-68 here in Houston.

[@ikkuranus]

That's because all Texans are cooked well done and no longer can tell what proper temperature is.

[@Bytemybits]

72-73 about the highest I can go..

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

@@ikkuranus that's not even funny. I'm not sure if you know this, but a person's heart rate is directly related to their body temperature. And I'm a powerlifter. My resting heart rate is a lot lower than the average Joe. Hence I'll just feel cooler.

[@timroscoe4519]

My Nest failed in the heat on position! I got home and my house was about 85 degrees. It was set for 74. It showed it was off, but it was stuck on. I thought it was my furnace. The service man came and showed me the problem was the Nest forcing the heat on. When I called Nest support, they said yea, that’s rare, but it happens. They sent me a new Nest, but I was afraid to install it. I’m back on my old dumb thermostat.

[@NenadKralj]

FYI - NEST Thermostat & Google Home (which you tossed into bin) they go together - they work best together (ask me how i know) !!

You selected electric for heating, do you have gas? Because it looks like you do have gas because electric usually have a reversing valve O/B more wires.

[@mathesonstep]

Did you actually throw out the Spy Mini or was that just for the video?

[@aawscoggis]

I hope that just the video he can just sell it.

[@phranker]

I'm curious what the issue is with your cooling. Keeping a house at 71 is not really that difficult. Its possible your AC unit may be literally freezing up - ice in the coils. Do you see any water around the unit? Check and make sure the return air ducts are not blocked by furniture and are clean. Also, check and replace your air filter as well.

[@ptrollan]

I think it would depend on where you live, in Alaska or Maine its probably much easier to keep the house at 71 as opposed to Florida,Texas or Arizona

[@walterwhite1]

This funny 😆

[@ikkuranus]

I want one but after some investigation, I found that my system only has 4 wires and I don't wish to give up the dedicated fan wire. I also found out that whoever installed the system ran the thermostat wire through the ducting which would make it extremely complicated to fish a new set of wires to get a dedicated c wire. I think the only way to get around this problem is to relocate where the thermostat is placed and patch the existing hole. This would also bring the system up to code and make it easier to do in the first place.

[@thebear6792]

Why would you have to give up your fan? The nest can run with just the blower going and no heating/cooling. You can set it to run for 2, 4, and I think 8 hours.

[@dunner8125]

When ya put the box in garbage n flipped it off...I paused video n gave it like ...love it!

Hate the terminals on the Nest - gone on a few service calls that were simply wires popped-out of the terminals causing problems.

[@imjustcurious7485]

Wouldnt it be great if C for "Cyan"

It would be... except the fact that Cyan is more of a green than it is a blue... and “C” in C-Wire stands for Common wire. Smh
