This works! I see this video is a couple years old. But, Nest told me this exact way, and it’s been perfect ever since! I, like you, have different work schedules. I love that I can now control everything how I want manually, or through my phone when I’m away! 👍🏾

It’s much easier to go into manual mode with the app. (Perhaps this video is over one year old and people weren’t using the app back then) You press settings, go to auto schedule and turn it off, go back to settings press the calendar and delete all the little bubbles that have been pre-scheduled. That’s it! 👍🏼

Thank you. I was waking up in the middle of the night and adjusting the Nest. I presume it believed that because there was no motion to needed to go to ECO mode, with different high & low setpoints than I had entered. There is snow outside, has been and internal temperatures in the low 40℉s do not work. Found this post and we now like the Nest. I was getting ready to replace it with 1 year before failure thermostat. Now it maintains the set point ± 2.0℉.

Thanks! Very clear instructions. Nest should hire you. Actually, they need to redesign this thermo. I bought it, because I'm caring for an elderly woman and this had the temp in big #'s and seemed so easy, just turn to the temp. you want. A total mess! I set the AC and left to go some things, came home and she was sweating and close to death. I hope the co. updates the thermo., so it has an "manual mode".
@bff13164 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the video and showing us how to turn off the self learning mode. We need to leave our home for 3 days every month and the nest would relearn what our home should be set at. Once home again it would finally have learned where we want it after a few weeks, then we leave for another 3 days. Two of us are disabled and I require life support equipment so the temps varying wildly doesn't make for easy living.

Well after doing a ton of research myself I came to the same conclusion, there is no way to override the nest schedule for an extended period of time. Most times I want to use the schedule that I manually set up. But my work shift schedule occaisionally changes for short periods of time and I would like to bypass the nest schedule and run manually. But it really irritates me that the nest will not let me have that option. You can only bypass until the next scheduled change. I have a Honeywell wifi thermostate that easily allowes me to bypass schedule for as long as I need to. Looks like I will be reinstalling that.

Just got a Nest, i'm in the UK - had the same problem with it doing its own thing, so turned of the auto and pre-set the temp through out the day. if its too cold or hot i can still turn it up and down. Plus it can not work out the whole of your house temp so will only set the temp in the room you have it, mine is portable, so have moved it to the coldest place and that is the conservatory, where i spend most of my time, then just adjust the radiators TVRs (Thermostats) around the house to try and compensate, but there is heat difference through out the house. Should have just had a thermostat on the boiler, would have saved some money.

There’s an app for Nest where you can do all this from your mobile device. You can reset the schedule, turn off auto learning among other features. Surprised to see so many complain about the learning mode... If you prefer to keep the temperature fixed...just replace it with a cheap thermostat (I’ve seen ones for $20 or less) - problem “fixed”. You could probably sell your Nest to cover the replacement cost and then some.

Our Nest 3rd Generation has been nothing but a source of frustration. Here in Ontario, Canada, temperatures in my room can easily drop down to 16 Celsius during snowy nights in winter (I verified this with a thermometer). I set my Nest thermostat to maintain a constant 23 Celsius around 10pm, and it only maintains that temperature for about an hour before rolling back to its default setting of 17 Celsius for the remainder of the night/morning. I have tried turning every AI enabled learning feature off, and even disconnected it from our Wi-Fi, but to no avail. I would much rather “retro-fit” a tried and trusted Honeywell mercury bi-metallic strip thermostat in place of this product which demonstrates why IoT is an endeavour worthy of being laughed at.

My Nest actually increased my electric bills. The Nest computer tries to "learn" your schedule but fails to realize that there are people in the house that jack the air down way to cold when you are not home. Then, after it learns what everyone likes, it starts setting the temperatures way to cold ; resulting in high electric bills. So the answer i guess is to lock your family members out of the system so they can't change the temperature.

@@joetarlos Yes. It learns from you changing your temps at certain times of the day so you don't have to go in and program it for several times a day for every day of the week. There are options to set the low temp as well so it does not go below that. People are buying learning thermostats and then try to turn the leaning off. Why buy one, then?

My family thought if it was cold they should set it to a very high temperature to make it heat up fast but there is nothing faster than flat out so that is not helpful but worse it causes overshoot to the ridiculous temperature they set so that it got hellish warm. So to defeat this monkey-on-the-controls problem I set control points at 2 hour intervals in the schedule so that whatever changes they make will only have an impact for 2 hours at most. That seems to be working out fine for me. In other words, in the absence of a manual setting, put in enough control points, and you can force it to do whatever you want. That said, one day recently I noticed that it was getting far too hot and when I looked at the thermostat its display said simply MANUAL. I discovered it was set to a constant high temperature of 28 C (82 F). Neither I nor anyone else did that. Fiddling with the app, I got it back into normal operation. However I learned: 1. There IS a MANUAL mode, no matter what they say, however I do not know how to put it into that mode. 2. I believed it got HACKED. So after setting it back to normal operation, I turned on 2-factor authentication, and I am hoping that is the end of the problem. 3. From web searches while tyring to understand what happened, I discovered that these thermostats have a microphone. This sheds some possible light on the Chinese lady acting in an amateurish way who got into Mar A Lago recently with USB sticks etc. Her actiosn seem amateurish, which gives the Chinese state plausible deniability. But if the place uses Nest thermostats, as per the web, it takes 15 sec to upload malware onto them via their USB sockets.
