How To Use Nest Thermostat [The Missing Manual]

[@dorisvandusen9072]

Thank you. I’m a senior and have had the toughest time with this thermostat! You explained it so well Thank you again. Be well,

​@@sudonix5923Waste of time compared to a regular one.

[@sudonix5923]

@@justinedse8435 I like mine. I have one both downstairs and upstairs and it has saved me money. I just set a temperature range and let it go. It turns off when I leave and turns on about 20 minutes out from when I get home. Has a setting that if it gets too cold (while off) or hot it cuts on. It's really not complicated. I can also control them remotely so I can make changes while I'm away. I thought they were a little overly complicated at first because I just wanted to set a temp and leave but now after using them for a few months, I love them.

[@pauldobisz1518]

The "instructions" that come with the Nest thermostat are horrible and this thermostat can be a little confusing to use, this little tutorial is very helpful, but I'm guessing now that I'm just going to have to play with it to get a good feel for it thank you very much for this.

[@nigelsharratt933]

This thermostat is a pain in the ass. I would not recommend it. It has a mind of it's own

Thank you for an excellent presentation. I am a slow learner so I have copied your video to tutor me again and again.

[@OneHourSmartHome]

[@larsedik]

I've never gotten mine to work - this thermostat seems to be deliberately non-user friendly. I have had to replace mine (which came with my house) with a Honeywell thermostat, which I can understand without a manual. The sellers of the house left me a Nest manual, but it was useless for getting the app to work.

[@claudiad.9076]

Very informative video but had to hit pause and back up several times in order to catch everything being said...hard for an old fogie to absorb things that quickly! I've had my Nest for several years and have always wondered why the temps that I set never stay the same throughout the day. I think now I'm better equipped to figure out all of the settings! Thank you so much.

[@johnp139]

[@PoeLemic]

Thank you for explaining this. This makes it very simple. I got a Nest and my wife set it up, but it's been changing the damned temperature all the time. So, I bet it has schedules that I need to adjust, and I think it is auto-learning ... Maybe, there are no schedules, and it's just auto-adjusting. Don't know, but now, I can figure it out. Yes, I love it, but we're still adjusting to a new A/C Unit because we had freon and now we've got preon. So, it's a hell of an upgrade. Best decision we ever made, I think. Ours was from 2004, and it was not cooling like it did. But, now, it's a frig in here some evenings -- with how my wife set it, but that's nice and all. But, I've got to get it where it saves poweer, and where I understand why it's happening. So, this video helps me.

[@otyson619]

Thank you for sharing this really helped me. I’ve lived in my new home almost 3 months, the previous owners had the nest setup just right. However, after my hubby and I resetting it. I am learning how to use it and have it setup. What I did notice is the on the main screen your left bar where 57 is when u scroll on the dial it moves higher or lower. When I move the dial my right bar moves up or down. Why? Also it’s colder where I live right now, and I would like to have it warmer in the house. It seems like when the system is not on its so cold.

[@heatncool]

[@augukern9708]

Why would you need a ton of settings when that Nest thing won’t even set to a safe temperature. It’s gets colder and suddenly hotter in here after installing Nest. My old thermostat will not let the temperature drop the way this Nest thing does.

[@johnp139]

It was probably due to the “smart logic” of the STUPID SYSTEM that MIMICS things RATHER THAN LEARNS things!!!

[@larsedik]

What did you do @1:23 to make the screen change? I did not see you press anything, and you did not say how you got to the next screen. This has been one of the most frustrating things about this thermostat, which I inherited with two houses that I bought. With the first house, I could never get programming to work, and so I switched to a Honeywell thermostat, which is much, much easier to use and is actually intuitive, unlike Nest, which is counterintuitive.

[@G-MIP]

In summary: If you do “not” have a “combined” advanced degree in-electrical engineering, IT, AI, Blockchain, Computer Science and Computer coding... you will hate the Nest Thermostat.

[@johnp139]

Even if YOU DO, you will HATE IT EVEN MORE!!!!

[@geminiecricket4798]

[@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??

[@ew6629]

I have this thermostat with a new brand Gas furnace as well as a Heat Pump system that does both A/C and heating. The default when selecting heating is the Gas furnace fan comes on right away without using the gas burners but it uses the outdoor heat pump for heat using electricity. Because the heat pump takes a while to warm up, it blows cold air for about 5 - 7 minutes which I don't like. How do I override the settings so that I can turn on my gas furnace first and then switch over to the heat pump once I reach desired temperature to maintain it? I haven't been able to figure it out yet so haven't been able to take advantage to use the new Gas furnace. I've tried google searches but no luck so far. Thanks if you happen to answer this question.

One question please: I've had mine for three days, and I'm confused about the home/away function. I have my thermostat set to automatically use Eco when I am away, but it doesn't seem to function properly unless I manually set myself to AWAY. I was under the impression that it would automatically know I was away when I got enough distance from my home WIFI, or maybe GPS would know I was away, but either way, to get it to work I have to manually set myself to AWAY. Any ideas?

I change my old thermostat to 3rd Gen Nest wires from the wall only 4 wires everything work but I don't have Airwave option in my Nest thermostat in my old thermostat I have that after I turn AC off fan will stay on for couple minute then turns off but with Nest as soon I turn off the AC shootdown the fans too

You can choose the mode, then turn the thermostat set point up or down above the current temperature and it will allow you to run the fan independent of providing heating or cooling.

Living in Florida, I usually put my Nest temp on a cooler than normal temp when guests are coming over and that has always been simple. Usually set at 73.. but with company I put it at 70.......The a/c needed fixing , so when they were done they reset Nest. Now it does something different. It shows the temp I set it to...then above it is "Cool Stage 2"...then above that, on the outer rim is shows white lines and the temp number is 75. I tried to make it cooler, but it struggled and stayed at 74-75....Is this something I need to have them come out for? It seems as though I should be able to reset it to get it off of "Cool Stage 2".....and what does "Cool Stage 2 " mean?

[@OneHourSmartHome]

Do you have 2 stage cooling? Sounds like when they reset the thermostat they might have chosen the wrong setting. You could reset the thermostat and set it back up how you had it setup originally. Here's a video that shows you how to reset: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6SaoWOcp8-Ej7M and this video explains the wiring diagram: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXSxep6laM6Nf6c which will help you determine if you have 2 stage cooling. You can also take the HVAC cover off and look at the terminals in the system to see if you have a Y2 terminal connected. If it's connected you have 2 stage cooling. If it's not connected you don't have 2 stage cooling and the settings are probably wrong.
