Nest thermostat how to manually hold temperature

[@PhaniKondapani]

Still relevant after 7 yrs. Thank You!

[@mygeorge32n]

Thank you so much finally I fix the thermostat, I was so sick and tired of the nest doing whatever he wants...🥳

[@CEOof]

Thank you God

[@jessicalong5382]

Me too !! It’s winter let me stay warm

[@gotmemories]

Amen!! Mind if it’s own, too complex!!! Keep it constant!!

[@jeffulrich1446]

Dude...you have SAVED me from pulling all of my hair out. I have tried what I thought was everything to get this to a fixed temperature. Now that I see all the steps, it makes so much sense. I could never get it to STAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

[@beckslite7]

Thank You!!!!!! This thermostat was ruining my life. It did whatever it wanted. I woke up sweating in the middle of the night even though I thought I set it to 60. Sometimes Id come from work and the heat was on (I live in Houston) I looked all over the internet for help, including the Google Nest help site and no luck.Was about to rip it out of the wall and replace it with my 1990's old manual spin thermostat when I happened on your amazing on-point video. Your video is fabulous.Thank you!

[@saber26ful]

omg can totally relate lol

[@maryellen4412]

Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you!! We're very grateful to you for moving us through his in such a clear, easy-to-follow way. We've been deeply disappointed in the Nest, the expense followed by. many, many headaches. You've saved the day with this one! Much appreciated!

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Thank you! This thing was fucking driving me crazy! It was actually costing me more money because it would let the house freeze and then it would take a couple hours to heat up.

[@MichaelRossol]

Fr bruh like how these things sell

[@JJ_0134]

@@MichaelRossol My mom got a free one for upstairs and I don’t like it 🥲

[@peteschaub7561]

Thank you so much! I live way up north and the temps sit below zero for weeks at a time. Nest kept shutting my furnace off after heating for just a few minutes. Then I'd have to mess with the temp setting to get it to kick back on. I was getting worried that the constant on/off with the furnace was going to eventually cause it to fail. That is catastrophic this time of year. You are a lifesaver.

[@francisbolo4597]

You my friend are a life saver. I bought a home with nest and it does have a mind of its own. Thank you for taking through the steps to retrieve my sanity!

[@adammartinez4207]

Thank you. Woke up too many times sweating. First time Nest user. Came with the apartment

[@lisakelly5210]

Looking through all comments and everyone has had the same problem thanks for helping us all out , ...this nest was driving me mad too ..turning on in the night sweating cobs and freezing in the day this thermostat is shit sorry for my expression my old thermostat was great before . technology sometimes is rubbish thanks so much ..your a life saver. From 🇬🇧

[@iradog85]

If I could "like" this video more than once, I would. Thank you so much for taking the time to record and post this!! I followed a link to this video from a Reddit thread about Nest resetting itself at random times, after I had set a temperature manually.

[@Nilinet]

Thank goodness you made this video. Hubby and I were trying to keep the temperature at 70 for the -23 weather we're supposed to experience tomorrow. We go out for two hours, and come back to a 54 degree house. Now we have to wait till midnight and hope it gets warm enough to combat this stupid polar vortex...

[@brittscreations1933]

Jesus thank you so freaking much!!!! This was driving me crazy because it's so hot here in LA and i would wake up in tye middle of the night and would be sweating because it turned my thermostat to 74 degrees !!!

[@WinstonFiore]

Did this work for you? I did this, and it does help, but I manually set my thermostat to 68 every night before going to bed, and it's often at 74° when I wake up in the morning? Probably because it didn't "detect" me in the room, but I'm sleeping, so what am I supposed to do, get up every couple hours and walk in front of the thermostat so that it knows I'm still there??

[@cigarzan]

THANK YOU, SIR! I've worked on, with, and around computers and hi-tech for me entire career, but this stupid thing was driving me crazy. My air-conditioner tech couldn't even sort it out. The gas co. tech said, "It's digital, it's wireless, it has AI learning . . . and it's free!" My model is slightly newer, so some of the nomenclature is different, but it took me all of two minutes to set it to fully manual. Great tutorial!

[@nowzen4240]

Right? These are the WORST!

[@Missthang20026]

Yes!! Thank you for this video!! You saved me from having a mental breakdown bc I searched many videos, instructions and waited for the furnace guy to respond!! Like the other review below my house was so cold and I thought my pipes were going to freeze. Besides this the good thing that came from this is that it reminded me that I needed to renew my home warranty!!

[@assaeffie]

I’ve been fighting a long winding battle with my nest, being so frustrated and thought that my nest was broken. I live in texas and it gets to 100 degrees and I cannot have my house be at 80 at night! Thank you so much

[@HT-ww3zg]

Thank You! You're the first video I've seen which showed me how to back out of all of these ECO (read temperature out of my control) settings. Living in Florida, all I wanted from day one was to set my thermostat to 75 degrees, and LEAVE IT THERE, day and night. Now I will have that. Thanks again!

[@2islandboy]

Thank you! I'm an EE and NEST stupid. I was just about to pull my NEST off the wall and chuck it. Manual setting is not simple, but you made it possible. All I can say is the NEST dial is pretty...

[@Jubalpicket]

Life saver! Older parents just bought a house with one of these thermostats and none of us kids knew how to change it!🤣

[@caseymccurdy9251]

Thank you! Every day it would jump to 72 when I want it to stay 68! It was driving me crazy.

[@betterthanyesterday3912]

[@WinstonFiore]

Did you get it to work? I tried this and it helped but it still slips up past the temperature I set it at if it doesn't detect I'm in the room.

[@bienemylatwyla]

Pissing me off, I hope this work!

[@vickirobb5864]

Thank you for this public service. Nest should take notes from you. I HATE not having a manual on hand. Their engineers do not understand regular people.

[@ritagardner2489]

I had my thermostat on the wall next to the iPhone with your instructions and did it simultaneously with you and it was perfect. So easy finally. Thanks again.

[@MsEllaneous222]

I was able to reset my nest thermostat with your step by step instruction and set my winter setting to 64-74. Hopefully the temperature would stay in that range. Thank you so much!

[@gymbotc]

Simple straight forward instructions. Thanks for the info.

[@mh0072]

Imagine if they simply just put a “Hold” setting on like a normal thermostat. This thing has definitely reduced the lifespan on my HVAC with all the eco start / stop BS. Absolute garbage product NEST is

[@whinstonwhoodle6373]

Honestly. Turned on the ac before I left for the day today, so I could come back to a cool house. Once I leave, the Nest decides to jack the temp up so the ac turns off and the house is sweltering when I return. Now I’m sitting outside on the patio since the house is as hot as an oven, next to the ac unit which is screaming loud...and going to stay that way for the next four hours until the house is finally cool. I hate this Nest piece of crap.

[@larente203]

@@whinstonwhoodle6373 same with me. Yesterday my ac was running for 18 1/2 hours. This shit is confusing. I was laying in bed and it decides to cut off, once i get up it turned back on. I thought this thing is supposed to cool to a certain temperature that you have it set to then cut off... this shit constantly runs

[@brianhawthorne8480]

This product is garbage.

[@walterwhite1]

Nah it’s a great 👍🏻 product you guys just don’t know how to use it

[@michele0317]

This tutorial saved the day and probably our hvac too. I was about to call my guy and have a traditional thermostat installed. My bad that I just remained complacent for three years when I purchased said home. Thank you so much sir 👏✌️🤗

[@TheAZRyan]

Beautiful . Just what I needed. What is so "smart" about a thermostat that ignores me when I turn the dial to set it to a different tempurature? Thank you.

[@TheRipperChris]

Thank You. I was so frustrated with the change in temperature all the time. You are awesome. Thank You for taking the time to explain everything.

[@emontes5398]

Thank you, this was an excellent step by step guide. You made it so easy to follow you.

[@wavesonswim8738]

Thank you so much! Just bought a house with this thing already installed. I kept trying turning on the AC on our move in date but it kept defaulting to off. It drove us all crazy because it was the hottest day of the summer

[@geotorres54]

I just moved with my wife and kids to a house with the thermostat already install! Idk why it kept going on and off! I’m dying in the heat hopefully this works

[@karenrichard183]

Ugh! THANK YOU!! We're in the middle of a cold snap right now and the damn thing wouldn't heat over about 17/18C (too cold for my liking). SO grateful I found a link to this vid on Reddit.

[@nancybieganowski5987]

Thank you so much. This helped us and saved us from throwing the Nest into the ocean.

[@Peacemakinherbtoker]

Thank you, the back and forth temps were pissing me off. Everyday I come home it's sitting at almost 80 and takes 2+ hours to cool.

[@drevilatwork]

Why would nest chose to make it so hard and unintuitive to set and hold a certin temperature like a regular old thermostat. I will stay away from their products.

[@MattMerkle]

Because the entire point is not to. There's no reason to run the A/C when no one's home, and most people like to have their temps hotter or cooler at night when they dress down. Furthermore, in places where HVAC is extremely expensive, it can save tons of money by adjusting up or down slightly.

[@notbadsteve]

in the UK, I've just had to buy a new boiler. New regulations mean that I have to have nest. it's bullshit. why would I want a thermostat in one room, so I can't set different temps in each room? before, I had thermostatic valves on each rad, so each room in my house was optimal. now nest argues with me and wants everything to be the same. I hate it. we're are being false fed, a load of tech that we don't need. eventually, the human race will have absolutely nothing to do. so much for solving obesity eh?

[@lr9010]

Mine has echo minimum temps you can set for heat and cool. Just put on the temp you want and if the temp in your house drops below those echo temps your system will cut on to reach the temp you set.

[@yamabluez]

If you have a schedule programmed, say to save energy when you are away at work, then you're on vacation and just want to hold the temperature. Most other simple programmable thermostats give you a hold with a simple button press. This nest is just ridiculously complicated to do that simple and common feature. I can't believe it doesn't have a simple hold/overide.

[@MattMerkle]

@@yamabluez that's because it's unnecessary. Just turn off the system. The Nest has built in limits that it will ensure are not exceeded, basically exactly for that purpose.

[@annettemurray7964]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. It would have taken me a while to figure this out!

[@mindymatt92]

Thank you! I'm new to Nest and just wanted to leave my temp at something that wasn't going to Jack up my electricity but it kept turning the air conditioning on after I turned it off. Thank you!

[@Pleasure1964]

Thank you very much! I couldn’t wait to get one of these then it was driving me crazy changing the temperature all the time! You’re a lifesaver!

[@CraigCollins]

So what's the purpose of having this smart nest?

[@Emma_mady]

Craig Collins same question I keep asking...don’t see the hype

[@lamrof]

Does this useless piece of shit equipment has a setting where I can still keep the auto schedule but temporarily set a desired temperature bypassing the auto scheduled one without having to go through their fucking intricate process to do so as shown here? I want to spit of the face of the technical leads of this project and who ever approved it to go on to the Market.

[@jimengstrom7563]

Thanks for the info; it was very helpful. NEST needs to work on making this easier with later models!

[@nicolefarmer5188]

Thank uuuuuuuu, I it was so helpful 💯💯💯

[@norsebavarian1941]

Great video! No one else had all three steps

[@Magslofi]

Is there a way to set time on schedule to just "on and off".. .e.g I just want to have mine set to come on every morning at 6am for 30mins..

[@gregorybower9498]

Many thanks for this! You saved me a huge amount of time and frustration.

[@lisastradley1275]

Thank you! I was ready to replace my Nest as I couldn’t figure this out!

[@micheallavender5513]

Works perfectly as described in the video. I also had to adjust the “Home / Away” assist to off (“Stop Using”) for the Nest to not go off when I left the property.

[@goofy1118]

Thank you Thank you!!! I was getting so upset with this thing. Finally I can adjust the temperature the way I want it.

[@kamharis4883]

Wonderful! exactly, what I wanted. As a side note, NEST should have offered the hold option.

Very helpful to help me reset my thermostat. Thank you!

[@Mikegee63]

Thanks. Do the sensors still work when you have it in this mode?

[@marcpatterson4065]

Thanks for the info...it was making us crazy at night. Set at 75 and went to bed and then a few hours later it went to 78 which would wake us up.

[@burntoak9377]

I wish I had found this video a few months ago. I installed Nest thermostats in our holiday home on the coast which we use occasionally: BIG MISTAKE. Too may times after we left and set the temp i would check it remotely to find the heat or AC on by auto schedule, costing us money. I asked Nest where's the Hold feature and was told there isn't one. Then they gave me the instructions (as in this video) as a work-around. Ridiculous! Why not listen to the customers and add a simple Hold feature? I still have the old thermostats and will replace the Nest if they give me any more aggro.

[@littlestar8283]

Life saver!!! Thank you! Nest is so silly. Should have just gone with a good old faithful sketch.

[@sdfsqftg5732]

Very pleased with this item. Keeps good readings

[@TAPPChannel]

I’ve done this and still doesn’t work for me... Nest is turning off ac when I’m not home or I’m on the different floor few hours and nest don’t recognize the motion

[@GS13classified]

Thank you! I have been trying to help my neighbors with their Nest...I sent this to them to try out. Question...when the house gets to the desired temp, does the compressor turn off and the fans continue to run? Or does everything turn off when the desired temp is reached? Thank you!

[@Marc-dc7cb]

How do you put back to schedule heating is there a quick way or the reverse to what done on video?

[@privatenoeyes7916]

go to "mode" and switch to heat.

[@johnnyboy1246]

Thank you very much! Struggled with that for months!

[@minnesotajack1]

Can I turn the schedule on and off ? Sometimes I want to override the schedule feature but turn it back on in a day or two. I don’t think I can simply do that

[@KristinEFia]

Thanks!! Would never have been able to figure all this out.

[@evef9034]

OMG. THANK YOU! Recently moved into an apartment with one of these STUPID thermostats. I thought I was going nuts...... I'd set the temperature & a few minutes later......it was different! WTF?! Thought I was watching too many paranormal episodes! Anyway, while I'm away at work, my dog is still home. I set it at a comfortable temp......This STUPID thing would turn it down to 66! It was f#$king freezing when I got home. Thanks again for your video! Much appreciated!

[@happypaws2010]

Hi ...I also have my dog at home and I set the temp to be on at 74 degrees and when I come home it's way to hot in the house for her...like it was 84 degrees in the house...I hope this works ...did it work for you?

[@happypaws2010]

I dont understand I had the temp set for 74 degrees ... it should have turned on to keep the house at that temp...but like I said when I got home it was a wapping 84 degrees

[@gabrielakerekes5844]

With all respect for your time and wonderful step by step explanation, to set my thermostat on “hold” it’s too much hustle. What happened with classic hold on and off and bypass all setting/schedule just temporary ? Not practical at all . Your presentation it’s wonderful and not your fault but the designer has no practical and earlier sense. I hated this thermostat since I got it as gift and 2 years later still didn’t convinced me it worth the money. Looking for calibration for next because it’s a big difference entwining what the unit shows me (much higher number)then what real temperature it’s in the room ,I realize this next can’t be calibrated and I always wondered why it’s not an option for hold temperature. It’s because was not designed to have a hold option, this presentation it’s kind of going around to get that hold . Thank you ! 🥂

[@serendiptyi]

Do we have to change the Eco Setting in addition to turning off Auto Schedule?

[@privatenoeyes7916]

Yes.

[@serendiptyi]

@@privatenoeyes7916 Thanks for answering so quickly! I've seen several videos that all have a different series of steps to get rid of Auto Schedule. We tried one that didn't work. Another starts with a general ReSet of everything before you specifically reset the Auto function. Another doesn't include changing the Eco Setting. So we'll try yours next and hope for the best.

[@jaykitchens4162]

So many steps! A simple hold or schedule override option like every other thermostat would be so much more intuitive.

[@bluestudio67]

Dude, I was getting pissed it was so hard just to get this dang thing to cool my house off. Hope this works thank you

[@NRHTX1]

You have the same issue as me. How is it working for you? I had an AC tech come out and tell me that the reason that my AC went from 4 to 78 is because I had a small leak in the evap and that I needed a new AC unit.

Do you know why it says a certain time to the temperature? Like how yours says "In 2 + hours? Do you know how, or if you can bypass that time to temperature, and the thermostat goes to the temperature that you set it to when you set it, and not in a time that it says, like in 2 + hours, or whatever time is showing on the thermostat?

[@markdodds175]

Perfect and simple instructions...thank you!!!

[@tracyrossello4785]

Fantastic! Thank you many times over!

[@MrSmokinMirrors]

THANK YOU!!! I agree with others here. I don't know why the heck the give you the option to have a daily schedule that you can input all the temps you want during the day, only to have the damn thing do what IT wants to do. If there was a way to turn off ECO mode, I would be happy with it. Another issue is that I walk around and pass by the thing several times a day. Each time I do the display "wakes up" - so I would think it should know that I'm the house and should do what I told it to do.

[@Nistical]

Thank you for this my bill came and it was so high because this thing comes on for hours on end maybe this will help now
