Nest Thermostat Not Turning On
A Nest thermostat that won't turn on has almost always run out of battery power. Unlike old thermostats, Nest uses an internal rechargeable battery that gets charged by your HVAC system. If the battery drains, the thermostat goes dark. The most common cause is a missing 'C-wire' that would keep it charged.

Google Home Not Connecting
A Google Home (or Nest speaker) that won't connect is usually a WiFi issue or a setup glitch. These devices rely entirely on WiFi, so if your network hiccups, the speaker goes offline. The fix is almost always free and takes about 10 minutes.
