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.

  • Super easy to install if you're comfortable turning off the power and opening your HVAC system.
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 Style: Connector
I moved recently and my Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd Generation was having problems where my fan was always running. I reinstalled the old thermostat and it stopped. I found online that my system wasn't supplying the Nest with enough power so I test it by moving one wire to a C wire and the fan issue stopped. I found this and ordered it once I knew for sure that was the problem. All my issues were fixes by this little Connector. The Nest gets enough power and is working perfectly! I'm comfortable turning the power off to my HVAC unit and pulling the emergency braker to make sure there is no power in the system before removing the panel on the unit. It was very easy to install once it was open. If you're not comfortable doing that, I would pay a professional to do it. ... show more

  • Solves the missing c wire - specific to the Nest thermostat, not a universal solution
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 Style: Connector
Installed a Nest thermostat on my daughter’s condo and found out she only had two wires, red and white with no possibility of running a real C wire due to plaster walls. Confirmed that the furnace had a C wire (critical) and then ordered this dongle. My application was a heat only furnace so the wiring was fairly simple. I strongly recommend that you get three of the wagu type snap-on UL approved wiring connectors unless you have screw terminations to attach to. There are two of the snap on connectors in the box but you will need three more for the furnace side . Trust me - have the connectors handy and installing this device is easy, I tried to use twist on wire nuts but the nuts would no stay on. You need to “tell” the nest thermostat that this adapter was installed during the programming phase on your phone or tablet. Do that slowly because if you miss the check box that says this device was installed the thermostat will not work and the only way to fix it is to delete the thermostat and install it as a new device. Note - This device is specifically designed for the nest thermostat. It will not work as a workaround to add a missing C wire to other thermostat brands. ... show more

  • Totally unnecessary, but easy install and works
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 Style: Connector
If your thermostat lacks sufficient power, this is a way to fix it. However, you can probably also fix it for free if you have an unused wire in your thermostat wiring bundle by using that wire to connect the C/COM port of your thermostat to the C/COM/24 V power line on your blowers control board. We only realized this after starting the install. I wish Google Nest had just told us up front. What is nice about this solution, however, is that it works even if you don't have an extra line. It works by boosting power on the Y/W (AC and heating) signal lines which the Nest also taps for power. The installation was also quite easy. So, $25 and some wasted effort, but it works. ... show more

  • Did not add a common path
Size: 1.1 x 3.03 x 3.98 Style: Connector
I recently installed a nest learning thermostat. I did not have a C wire but the nest nevertheless worked fine. I read online that it's a matter of time until getting the battery low error so I thought I'd be proactive and add a charging path for the thermostat. Installation was very simple, opened the HVAC panel, connected the R and Y thermostat wires to this power connector and the R and Y from the connector back to the HVAC board. Additionally, I connected the C wire coming from the connector to the C slot on the board. I used a multimeter to make sure that indeed is a C wire which was pretty obvious as it was coming from secondary of the 110/24 transformer. The annoying part is the nest learning will not give you any indication if the power connector is detected and working or not. This should be added considering this is from Google and not a third-party and the thermostat can get updates. So I had to check the power in the thermostat's settings. I was getting Iin=40 mA with AC OFF and Iin=20 mA when AC ON which is basically the same as having no C connection. To triple check, I then removed the connector and repurposed my G (fan) wire to C slot on the thermostat and the same C slot I used before with the connector at HVAC. Checked my thermostat settings then and I was getting Iin=200 mA which showed the C connection was actually working. Unfortunately, this isn't a feasible solution for me since my AC doesn't automatically turn the fan ON without G connection. I could not find anywhere how this connector is supposed to work but my assumption is it internally switches between R-Y path to R-C path when R-Y is not needed so the thermostat doesn't have to draw so little current from R-Y without making the AC ON or malfunctioning. However this is supposed to work, it obviously didn't for me. I see some people had luck with this item but I am still giving it one star since not only it didn't work for me, the device has no status indicator to tell if it is defective or simply not working with a certain system. They could add some small LEDs or at least they could show on the thermostat or in the app that this is detected and if it is working/not working. ... show more
