I think so

Could I ask you if you see a "Log in " option on the page that you opened?

Customer Replay

Looks like I'm in the app.

Thank you for the answer, *****!
Select Sign in with Nest at the bottom of the screen. Enter your email address and password, then tap Sign in.

Could I clarify, what you want to reach in the Nest app?

Customer Replay

The Nest thermostat ask that I enter the serial number. But I'm not sure where.

The serial number can be found etched into the bottom of the device's stand, below the Google "G" logo. The serial number is also listed on a sticker on the Google Nest Hub Max packaging near the bar codes.

Customer Replay

The thermostat says, "Enter Key Enter this kdy in the app. 9xxxxxxx.

Did you already enter the serial number?

Customer Replay

no

To get an entry key from your thermostat:

  1. Press your thermostat's ring to open the Quick View menu.
  2. Choose Settings.
  3. Turn the ring to the Nest app and press the ring to select it.
  4. Select Get Entry Key to retrieve a unique entry key. Follow the next steps below to use your Nest app to add your thermostat to your account.

Sorry. I think i just reset it again. The setting icon didn't come up and I held the thermostat to long. Now in reset mode.

Could I ask you to try to follow the setup instructions on more time? And keep me posted

Customer Replay

I reentered things. I'm at setup steps with three options Language, Equipment and the highlighted Nest app.

Let us start with Language option, please, tap on it

Customer Replay

It's open looking for scan code or continue without scanning

Could I ask you to try to find a QR code on the back of your Nest thermostat?

Customer Replay

I found it. I have tried to scan it with the camera. Let me get more light and try again.

Sure, *****. Keep me updated, please

Customer Replay

It won't scan the box. Should I turn off the power to the thermostat and remove it so I can scan it? or go without scan option

You can try to enter the code located near the QR code.

Customer Replay

OK: *****
