- Pro Setup is an advanced Nest thermostat configuration menu that lets a professional installer set up complex systems.
- The vast majority of systems that are compatible with Google Nest thermostats do not require Pro Setup.
- WARNING: Incorrect settings in Pro Setup can cause your system to malfunction and may damage it. We strongly advise that only trained installation professionals use Pro Setup. You can find a trained Nest Pro installer in your area with our online Pro finder.
How to access Pro Setup

- Select the type of control (On/Off, OpenTherm), the fuel source (oil, gas, geothermal, etc.) and delivery (such as radiators or in-floor radiant).
- Once you are done with the configuration, click Done Continue Done.
