Many of us (like me) lack a so-called common or C wire in our home s HVAC wiring. That s a complicated way of saying there s no way for a smart thermostat to draw continuous power separately from the wires that actually control stuff, and that means you might run into issues, like your heating system flipping on when it shouldn t to top up your thermostat s battery, or a non-rechargeable model like the new Nest Thermostat dying faster than expected.
It s all honestly pretty obnoxious to deal with, but thankfully Google just announced a new Nest Power Connector that you can install yourself to fix the problem.
Get Your Smart Thermostat Working Easier With Nest Power Connector Advertisement Advertisement
Google has a new gadget, dubbed the Nest Power Connector, poised to make installing a Nest thermostat much easier for more smart home buyers.
The recently reported device was launched wholly separately from this week’s ongoing Google I/O 2021 event. But it should go a long way toward accomplishing its goal. That’s because, as its name implies, it does away with one of the limiting requirements of Nest thermostats.
As Google bills the $24.99 gadget, it helps users bypass the need for a C wire to be run in a home. That often requires an electrician and the hefty bill associated with that. Effectively working as an adapter to ensure constant power to Nest thermostat setups.
What you need to know
Google has quietly released the Nest Power Connector as a C wire substitute for Nest Thermostats.
The Nest Power Connector doesn t need new wiring or drilling, which makes it extremely easy to install.
It is now available to pre-order in the U.S.
If you have a Nest thermostat that has power-related issues such as high battery drain, connecting a common wire (C wire) is the typical way to fix them. Now, however, you can solve such issues much more easily with the new Nest Power Connector.
The Nest Power Connector works as an alternative to a C wire and happens to be a lot more affordable than hiring an electrician to install a new C wire through your walls. Installing the connector is also much easier than you might think. It doesn t require new wiring or drilling and easily attaches to your furnace, air handler, or zone controller.
