Nest Learning Thermostat 2nd Generation Optical Finger Motion Sensor Replacement

简介

The optical finger is the smallest component of the Nest Thermostat. Although it is one of the last components to be disassembled it is still easily to get to. The tools required to replace the optical finger are a #0 Phillips screwdriver, tweezers, and plastic opening tools.

    I pinched the connector and it will not pull out

    I’m my case, the white backplate cannot be pulled until it is turned about 1cm counterclockwise to disengage the brackets that hold to the internal plate. To do this, yo need to hold the front of the Nest with the metal frame (so the it doesn’t turn), while turning the backplate.

    And in my case, there are only 2 screws (in the 9 and 3 o’clock positions) and not 4 as shown in the photo.

    Where do you buy the battery?

    Robert - 回复

    At least say the tipe of battery that's needed.

    Pedro Sanchez - 回复

    I just ordered the battery model specified. When it arrived, I realized it doesn’t have the same specs as the battery that comes with the thermostat.

    The part listed (TL284443) is 3.7 VDC, but it is only is 380mAh (1.41 Wh) (if you zoom in on the image when you click “Buy”, you can see)

    You can clearly see in the tear-down that the battery that comes with the thermostat is 2.1 Wh.

    It might work as a replacement, but doesn’t have the same capacity.

    Gerry Beggs - 回复

    Double check your own equip online or in the manual people.

    There are different generations of thermostats. How would this guy know which battery you need.

    Thanks for the directions.

    Helps a lot.

    LisaKK - 回复

    To be fair, most people don’t know that there are different generations of the Nest Thermostat and clearly they didn’t read that this was for the 2nd generation Nest Thermostat. Probably should have been pointed out in the instructions more clearly for those folks. Then they wouldn’t have been so confused about the battery voltage differences.

    Resist - 回复

    I am a 64 year old woman, I had the Nest next generation installed last year. So far it keeps telling me that the connection to my wi-Fi is not working and now it’s saying the battery is dead. I’ve gone through all the steps to re-connect to wi-fi to no avail. Could this be because the battery needs replacing?

    It’s 68 degrees in my house now and that’s thanks to my fireplace not this horrible device. I am going back to the regular thermostat, what a waste of hard earned money.

    This site helped me plan the troubleshooting of my Nest 2Gen Thermostat. It worked well with just the cleaning of optical sensor and the encoder. No part replacement. Step 13 could have mentioned about a thin fin like clip over the ribbon cable which needs to be flipped to remove or reattach

Where can I get the sensor?

tyjustice - 回复

I second this, for the life of me, I can't find it. Just data specs and how most of the electronics retailers online says it obsolete, specially since Avago got absorbed by Broadcom.

This is helpful up to the point where I need to know where to get the sensor. Where do I get the sensor?

Art Adams - 回复

Any update where to get a new sensor? I just received a device from a friend and it needs to be fixed.

Steven D'Ambrozio - 回复

The easier path would be to install a rotary encoder, and call it a day. If you do find the sensor, you have to code basically a driver for it and print your own pattern.

I 2nd the cleaning of the ring pattern and sensor with rubbing alcohol, also you can slide the sensor on it's pins to move it out a bit closer to the ring pattern. doing both these actions seems to have restored the working of the sensor.
