POPMAS Black Metal Wall Plate Compatible with Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd 2nd 1st Generation 2017 Version Bracket Mount (2020 New Nest Thermostat Can't Be Used)

Purchased this on 2/19/2025 for my 3rd generation Nest thermostat, but I’ve since upgraded to the 4th generation—and surprisingly, it fits and works perfectly fine with that too, despite the listing saying otherwise. I specifically wanted a metal wall plate to match my stainless steel appliances in my open kitchen, and this did not disappoint. It looks sleek, clean, and high-end. The price was also reasonable for a 2-pack (Silver and Black), giving me options depending on the vibe I wanted. Highly recommend!

About a year ago, I purchased the black Nest wall/trim plate to pair with my Nest Learning Thermostat. While it looked fantastic with the older model, I recently upgraded to the Gen 4 Nest and was pleasantly surprised to find it fully compatible. The sleek black finish blends seamlessly with my modern decor, giving the thermostat a premium and polished look. It fits perfectly and installs easily, covering any imperfections or old paint lines from my previous thermostat. The material feels high-quality and durable, adding a touch of sophistication to the Nest setup. Highly recommended!

The finish is very nice, and it's not just a flat plate on the wall. The design is very nice but then if you don't align the base correctly then the Nest may not have enough clearance for rotating and pushing down.STOP: if you replace the faceplate for the existing installation then you need to turn off the power so that it doesn't short when removing the wires.These steps are recommended for new installation, otherwise, go straight to step 4.1. Put the base (for wiring) on the original wall place (supplied by Nest). This plate has the guides so that the base sit perfectly on it.2. Align the plate/base with the water level bubble.3. Screw in the supplied screws, no need to go all the way in.4. Remove the screw and use the new wall plate.5. Screw in the screws to the same holes in step 3 but not too tight, leave room for adjusting the wall plate.6. Now, adjust the wall plate and the base so that they are straight and the base is in the middle of the circle by eye balling the gaps between the circle and the base.7. Screw in the screw the firmly hold the base and the wall plate.6.

I installed this metal Nest plate at my home because I did not want the cheap plastic that comes in the box from Nest. I always think outside the box when installing with perfection in mind. This is absolutely the best upgrade trim ring you could purchase.

The media could not be loaded. Not quite the same color as the copper Nest, which is why I removed a star. The difference is very apparent in the light. However, it still looks nice enough that we are keeping it. This plate is definitely high quality, well cast metal. (See the video. You can hear how well it's made in how well it resonates when wacked with a hard object. Pieces with flaws won't do this.) Plate is very sturdy, yet nicely finished. We did have to use our own screw in wall anchors on all four holes to get everything secure. Also had to tape two washers on the back of the nest controller, aligned with the top and bottom holes, to fill the gap created by the screw heads so the unit wouldn t wobble or bend. Meh, nothing in home improvement is ever as straightforward as you think it will be.All in all, I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to family and friends who want a more elegant finish to their nest while also covering the hole from the old thermostat.

Most likely if you are looking at this wall plate, you think the white square Nest plate is hideous. Why do they think a rectangular trim plate goes with a round thermostat? And why not color match it? This wall plate is so much better than the Nest wall plate and it’s likely better than the other ones I looked at made of plastic or metal ones with no real finish to them. The color matches well and you can tell it’s sturdy based on the weight.Install was easy, popped off everything from the wall and put the wall plate and and the Nest wiring late. Screwed in the top and bottom wholes into the wood backer in my wall and wired it up. Pushed the Nest onto the wiring plate and it was done.I should have taken a pic of the plate alone, front and back but didn’t think to do that.I got it to hide old screw holes and unpainted areas but even if I fix those issues later on, I will likely end up using the trim ring. It looks so natural like it was meant to go with the thermostat. I think it gives a retro look to the whole thing.

It's a metal backplate compatible with my Nest E Thermostat. Mine arrived with some small scratches, but all were in non-visible locations so no problems here. I'm happy that drywall anchors were included, even if they weren't necessary for my use case, it's appreciated none the less. The plate also has a bit of a lip on the outer ring, so the body doesn't touch the wall. This is great because of how common wall repairs are around thermostats, which often means the wall is bumpy right around the wires. The added height around the edges makes it so the plate can be installed flat even with bad wall putty application.
