How To Use The Nest Learning Thermostat

[@TheQueen-yl7dr]

This company needs to provide a handy guide book. Especially for seniors where many do not use computers. It's nuts!

[@gwendolynlewis8679]

I agree I had the little folder from when they installed but it tells me nothing. Now we want to turn to ac and it’s going to be a hassle. Yes my son in law will help but I wanted my simple directions on my own. Should have come with the Nest.

[@trisherwin]

I really dislike the thing. Cannot find a anything that tells me how to set the darn thing to a temp I want & leave it there - one for day until & unless I want it to change. So frustrating

[@metalfatigue]

Their arrogance leads them to believe it's so simple, it's self-explanatory.

[@eddyjawed4871]

Mate I worked with computers for years as a software engineer and think the interface on these things are bloody awful and difficult to use. I agree with you and am even not a senior (yet -age 44). Been working in IT roles since age 25 with a computer science degree.

[@marianogoncalves18]

@@eddyjawed4871 I think you guys just need to get use to these things. Smartphones don't came with an instruction manual either but people know how to use it (well most do). In technology, if you don't learn, you just stay behind

[@tarronsage862]

The video itself was good. The only thing I would change is to define what an eco temperature is. The main complaints below were about the complexity of the Nest system. This seems to be a recurring issue that companies have not figured out in general. Systems need to have TWO operating modes. One is the feature rich mode for those who like to control every detail. This thermostat does very well in that arena. There also needs to be a Simple Use mode. As one gentleman wrote...when you have to go online to figure it out you know convenience of high tech has gone out the window. Thermostats are one thing that everyone will use, from young to elderly. And many people also just want simple as they have simple routines in life. My air conditioning repairman was quite familiar with seeing these, but had no idea how to set it. So they are NOT intuitive. So this is what you do, NEST. 1. Survey 100-500 people who want a simple mode as to what are the main features are they want. Then make a simple mode of maybe 3-4 features. Make it INTUITIVE....which plainly means, you can easily figure it out by just looking at it. Then again, after you design it, have another 500 people try it with NO instructions. If 80% of the people can do it with ease, you are good. If not, back to the drawing board. You MUST test it on people who have never seen it before. And for god sakes, include some simple directions on a piece of paper in good simple English. These black and white drawings without words are just as bad as the translations into English we used to get back in the 80s of Japanese products.

[@PoeLemic]

Spot on. Damn, you should design UI's for computers. How you think, is how I think and design stuff. And, yes, I have a NEST and it just got installed. And, it keeps thinking too damn much. My wife set it up, and I thought she did an okay job. But, it keeps changing temperatures and goes to weird ones. Yes, I want it to just let me set a temperature and hold that. Then, when I leave, I change it to higher temp and it hold that. This way -- it saves money and is really all we need. But, everything you said is a perfect analysis of what NEST needs to do.

[@tomf4547]

Just got ours. Nightmare

[@tomf4547]

​@@PoeLemicmine does that. I set 19, I come back and it's trying to reach 23!! Hardly economical 😮

[@kimberlybeth]

I actually moved into a house with a nest thermostat and I hate it. It feels like it has a mind of its own no matter how much I mess with it. I’m fairly tech savvy but I much prefer a “regular ole thermostat.” I feel like the learning technology is on beneficial to those who live in an area with consistent weather. I live in the Midwest. One day it’s cold another it’s hot, so just because I turn town the temp in the evening one night does not mean I need it doing that every night.

[@shakiarajohnson3210]

I’m going through the same thing

[@roostergallo8839]

Same here. It is a needlessly complicated POS. And I think The connecting pins are rusty as it keeps rebooting itself. Going to have it replaced with a manual system.

[@pennyhudson-lindsey6177]

Im also dealing with same thing. It does what it wants. I need to be in control, but it controls my house, no matter what i set it too. I want the old Honeywell thermostat that stays where I set it until I change it.

[@Jessicinya2023]

@@pennyhudson-lindsey6177i also moved to the house where Nest thermostat was already installed. I set it up on 22 degrees Celsius and it changes time to time for 29. Whyyy?

[@ykborna]

This did not show HOW TO GET THE APP or how to set up the thermostat with my new (NEVER HAD OR USED ONE BEFORE) smart phone. And how do I keep the thermostat from switching to cool down after the room meets the targeted warm-up temperature?

[@LYoung-op5ub]

This nest learning thermostat right now is the pits. It does what it wants. It changes to eco when I am home. Might have to return to a regularnthermo

[@onlypeace]

I had a very simple one before which worked perfect. I was mad when my husband brought this one home. It is very fancy but hard to use! For example, I set the temp to 23, it is going back to 24-25 and it does not heat then. Before it was heating every 15 mins. I looked everywhere but can't find any clue how it works. Technology is getting more complex! UPDATE I have figured it out recently. I turned off home away assist option. Now it works as it is supposed to be!!

[@ykborna]

Same here. I hate this thing. I want my old dinosaur easy-to-use thermostat back.

[@astudentpilotlife]

I just upgrafe my thermostat yesterday with this device and I am so glad that I did become I don't have to worry to having to turn on or off the AC.

[@tomf4547]

My complete systems brand new. The thermostat keeps wanting to head towards 23 degrees, I want it to max at 19. Wondering if it's scheduled in.

[@hamos9847]

i have a question if i wanted the temperature at 21c at 17.00 until 19.00 then do i add a separate schedule for each time? so after 20:00 it will turn off?

[@queenofhygiene8369]

How can you tell what temperature it is in the room prior to any heat or air coming on? Need to know where that is displayed. ASAP

[@elpilonvideo]

Me too , did you find out ?

[@brentvolper2104]

Is there a way to reset and start over with the schedule temperature changes? We just moved into a rental and the previous tenant have changes in temperature every two hours. If possible can you do it via phone and on the nest itself?

[@DoodleNugget9]

Just got a house and installed this thing. Figuring out how to get this thing to just turn on and cool my house on a 120 degree day is a nightmare. I just want the thing to turn my god damn AC on.

[@weedbgone]

Yes but does it auto turn off when it hits a certain temperature? My one now from the 90s does that if I have it set for 75 once it hits 75 in the room I let turns off until it gets Above 75 again

[@ykborna]

I have never gotten mine to auto turn-off when it reaches targeted temp. Instead, it starts cooling back down toward temp it originally was when I turned it on. I HATE IT

[@johnysilver1853]

Will it control furnace blower ON/OFF? My humidifier is mist kind and requires heat and blower working together with humidifier. My humidifier also requires furnace blower to work a couple minutes after humidifier switches off automatically to distribute all the moisture collected in the duct. If blower stops the same time with mist humidifier moisture still will sit inside plenum and makes it rust. Will this Humidifier Control have this setting so furnace blower work few minutes after humidifier switched off??

[@nancywhitaker3531]

Thank you!! That was very helpful. Our nest keeps going down to 72. I can’t figure out why. But i will be going to figure it out!!

I use my nest with Alexa, when I set the nest to say 65. after a while the temp changes & have to keep changing the temp back... do u know y???

It could be because it thinks it has “learned” your schedule. Try checking the schedule and changing it if you need to.

[@tklutes]

Same problem, what a pain

[@eddyjawed4871]

On the main screen it shows two white bars for upper and lower temperature in a circle. Why can 't I change that upper bar? What is that about. This decrepit device is difficult to use.

[@hola-munecas]

I hate the home away assist so much. It was the selling point for me… however, If I don’t leave my room it thinks there’s no one home and I’m in here sweating wondering if the air is on. Then when I actually leave I guess it somehow knows I’m gone and when I get home the house is an oven! It then takes 1 hour to cool the home. One day I had a headache (which I never get) then I realized it’s cuz I came home to a freakin oven. I’m starting to wish I had my old thermostat back!
