Steps
Just after installation, Nest will guide you through a set up interview, where you
will configure it for the heating and cooling system it's controlling and for the
home or business where it's installed.
To help with HVAC configuration, Nest mechanically and electrically detects the
wires inserted into its press connectors. When Nest senses which wires have
been connected to its base, it will automatically configure its software for the
system type it has detected.
As an example, if it's a heat only system, Nest won't show any cooling options. If
it's a heat pump, Nest will know and do a special test to check the orientation of
the O/B wire.
The set up interview will also guide you through connecting to the customer's Wi-
Fi network, establishing the location through zip code, and establishing if the
place of installation is a home or business. All of this information helps Nest to
build a schedule that is best suited for the customer's needs.
Pro Setup allows professionals to configure how Nest controls each wire
connected to the base. Using Pro Setup is required to when using Nest with dual
fuel systems (e.g. heat pump with furnace), humidifiers and dehumidifiers. Pro
Setup is only available with the 2nd generation Nest Learning Thermostat.
Pro Setup also offers configuration choices for other types of systems such as
two-stage heat pumps and emergency heat. It is available to installation
professionals during and after installation and allows them specify how Nest
should control the specific HVAC system being used.
