  • The Nest Power Connector is only compatible with 24 VAC systems; it won't work with millivolt or high voltage systems
  • The Nest Power Connector is the Nest thermostat C wire adaptor that's designed specifically for Nest thermostats
  • Operating Temperature 22 to 140F (30 to 60C). Made with 46% post-consumer recycled materials.

Description

Nest thermostats are designed to work without a C wire in most homes. But some systems may require a C wire for consistent power to your Nest thermostat. The Nest Power Connector is an affordable C-wire substitute for homes that don't have one. It doesn't require any new thermostat wiring. And with simple instructions you can even install it yourself. If something is wrong with your Nest Thermostat, Google will alert you on-device, through mobile app alerts, and over email.

  • Factory reset trick
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 (Pack of 1) Style: Connector
It's 5 star for now. My system is a little older so finding the r,y,w, was a little challenging. Don't forget to add the wires via the app. I installed the nest thermostat first before realizing thermostat needs a common wire. After installing power controller I kept getting error message. After reading around some forums I came across the tip to factory reset thermostat so I did. That seemed to do the trick. A little tricky but I thought it's I'd share this info as it may alleviate some headaches. ... show more

  • It works.
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 (Pack of 1) Style: Connector
Worked perfectly and I was able to avoid running a C power line to the Nest. What' stupid, is how Google doesn't tell you anything about this and the "Smart" thermostat isn't smart enough to know it isn't running your air conditioner? My Gen 4 Nest had no low battery errors, or any messages whatsoever. If you installed a Nest Gen 4, and your compressor pops on, off right after, this is what you need. ... show more

  • Didn't work, had to install C wire
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 (Pack of 1) Style: Connector
Something is wrong with the Nest Power Connector's internal components, as it tries to deliver power. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work (some kind of switch?), but it does not do the same job as a dedicated C-wire. To preface, we have a baseboard radiator system with an oil furnace and a separate AC system with air handlers. Some thermostats in our house are heat only, others both AC and heat. I installed two Nest Power Connectors, one on a Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd gen and one on a Nest Thermostat. Installation was a breeze. The 3rd gen had previously been using the workaround with a G (fan) wire as a C wire with no power issues. The Nest Thermostat was newly installed. After installation, the Power Connector at the air handler for the Nest Learning Thermostat (heat and ac controller), the unit started having low power issues within 24h (screen not turning on, disconnecting from the temp sensor, wifi disconnecting). Same issue with the Nest Thermostat in the basement (heat only) with the power connector at the HVAC (a Taco 6 zone switch relay board), with power issue error messages showing up on the screen and being emailed within a week. I double checked all the connections with a multimeter, R to W and R to C both had ~27 V, and the Nest itself read enough power coming in. Unfortunately, I had to remove the devices and run a dedicated C wire (not an easy process in our house). Since installation of the C wire, the Nest Learning Thermostat has been working excellently with no issues, indicating that the Power Connector does not do its job as a replacement for an actual C wire. (The other Nest Thermostat still will not work as after a week it had another power issue, and Google Nest support did issue me a replacement device. So it's hard to judge what caused its failure.) ... show more

Easy to wire into your furnace... and it is working like a charm... my only issue is the wire connector nuts that came with it are junk... but i used some of the ideal 2 port wire nuts and they worked like a charm

  • A bit redundant
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 (Pack of 1) Style: Connector
I purchased this for my Nest Thermostat, as my furnace only has the R and W wires, thinking this would somehow remedy the lack of a C wire. After reading the instructions for my specific scenario, the Nest document suggested I get another 24VAC transformer , which is what my existing furnace has. I put my thinking hat on and looked into converting my existing furnace transformer into a C, W and R model, vs buying an additional W and R transformer. The C wire supplies steady power, and the existing transformer does the same thing, why not just daisy chain it to the W terminal I thought. Did some more digging and you can in fact do that. In my case, there were 3 wires running into the building already, so I did the daisy chaining at the furnace. If it was just 2 wires, daisy chain the W wire to C at the thermostat. Will be returning it as it's more gimmicky than functional. If you have to buy a 24vac transformer, might as well buy a plug in one and you won't need the Power connector. ... show more
