OMG!! *THANK* You for this detailed information! *Much* better than other videos I've seen. We recently got a Google Nest Pro Edition & it's been driving me *crazy* ! But hopefully, with the information in this video, I can figure mine out. The one thing that drives me crazy is that it sets the temperature on it's own! I would, however, like to see a video on the Google Nest Pro Edition for the A/C setting. I live in Florida so weather is *humid* & hot! An explanation of the different settings correlated with the different things that happen as result of AC in humid places would be helpful. We do not have (or want to install) the Nest app nor connect it to the internet. Once again, *THANK* You!
Hello, Thanks for your comment. I read it and missed to reply. What do you mean my Google Nest Pro Edition? I tried but couldn't find it. To control the Humidity, you can either use Dehumidifier. Also, when A/C runs and you lower the humidity from Humidifier ( if you have), the unit removes it. Also, i will study this and explain you further as in Canada unfortunately we don't have weather like Florida :( so i don't have experience with it. But will try to help you.
@@How2 Hi. Sorry for delay in responding. I finally found the information on the thermostat - it's a "Google Nest Learning Thermostat - Nest Pro Edition". I have been able to figure out how to manually get it to keep the temps at what I want at different times during the day (YAY!!). Don't know how it'll react to all our humidy here in Florida. Guess I'll find out! 😄 Edit: I didn't recall seeing a "humidity" setting on ours...
Can we setup a schedule that turns OFF (not temp change) our Nest Thermostat every day at 3:55-pm? We have electric time of use requirements in our area, and we need to remember to do this daily. A schedule would make it so much better. Even an automated Google Home routine that does that would also be good. Thanks
Same question, I have free electricity from 8pm to 6am, I want to automatically turn on and off at that time. Did you get answer? Is it possible to do that?
@5:06 How did you press schedule? I did not see you press anything. Do you press the icon or do you press at the bottom. You should be clear about this, and this is one of the things that causes me the most problems with this thermostat, which BTW I hate.
Hello, I tried finding what you have asked but couldn't because mine doesn't show any time as you have mentioned. Can you please email me at howto2yt@gmail.com with picture of how you see it? so i will be able to look into this.
@@aclasscali Thanks for explaining your question. That is because this is Smart Thermostat and has learned and added to Auto-Schedule for Temperature to be at Certain C at 7.45 C. So when I reduce the Temperature to 19.5 C, it will be temporarily held till 7.45 PM, and then the heating will start again. Hope this explains, let me know if you have any questions.
Hello Kevin, You can lock the Thermostat by Entering a PIN that you can easily remember, and enter it again to confirm. You can also download app for access. If you're locking your thermostat in Heat mode or Cool mode, you'll need to set a temperature range. Drag the slider to set the minimum and maximum temperatures while locked. Tap Lock at the bottom of the screen when you're done. I hope this helps
Hello, You can do this from your Nest App. Have you installed it? In that you can set schedule with temperature and time. Also, you can do on the unit, but its little complicated
@@How2 I brought and tried it today, so it doesn't have end time when we schedule so I was not able to set start AC at 8pm and stop at 6AM, so instead I created two schedule one starts at 8PM and another at 6AM but 6AM has tempretue set beyond normal like -30c to 60c, so I'm hoping as soon it hits 6AM AC will stop.
Hi 2 questions, if i set up on my phone and go out foe the day will my wife freeze if shes not got the app . Alao if i set up a schedule but then dexide to turn off everything for the day do i use mode heat off?. Thanks
Hey Scott, Sorry for delayed response. Answers as below- 1. Same log-in can ne used to multiple devices to control the same Thermostat. Also, if you leave, Thermostat still can be controlled manually. So nothing to worry. 2. If you want to turn off everything, there is OFF mode on the thermostat. Thanks
than kyou! this thing has not auto-learned anything and is currently trying to kill me. it was 102 here today and its 81 in my house now and 83 outside
Haha, Yes this unit is complicated but very smart and helpful in saving energy. Hope you'll be able to figure it out after watching this video few time (HaHa). Please subscribe for more helpful videos and tips. Thanks
If Fan on Auto, It will run when system need it for heating or ventilation. If you put the fan on ON, the blower helps circulate cold or hot air throughout your home until the temperature reaches the thermostat setting, and this runs longer.
This nest thermostat is so stupid!!!! I hate when things are made to be so "smart" & they end up causing more issues than they need to!!! Keep it simple!!!
@@LoveAlways1002My husband did (buy it specifically - @ the suggestion of my technically inclined & *must have* all the new gagets son 🤨) to go with our new AC unit. If I had known what a pain in the a$$ it was going to be, I'd have put my foot down! I'm sorry, but I don't need to be connected to the internet & have to have an app on my phone to be able to control my thermostat! -- *especially* when I'm home all day long!
Google nest is a nightmare! I hate this thermostat, replacing it with a normal one, this is the biggest piece of shi* I’ve ever purchased. Googles nest is possessed by Almighty Google, freaking idiots. Keep changing the thermostat when I don’t give them permission.
Hello, I guess Nest Sense Setting is ON on your thermostat. Please try turning that off and that may solve your problem. Nest Sense try to Auto- schedule the heating and cooling, which might looks like possessed haha
@@How2 thank you, I contacted Google, even they couldn’t fix it, they have to send it to the higher ups, whatever that means. I’m going to replace this thermostat in a week or two, when we get a new AC unit, I don’t trust Google lol.
@@How2 thank you, still doing my homework, I want some thing that I can use Wi-Fi, but that’s it. I don’t want some thing trying to think for itself, or connected to North Korea or Google, or any of these huge companies who try to hijack our private thermostats for their own use lol.
Yes, it is bit complicated unit. I tried my best to make it as simple as possible. Best way is to learn basics and then if you get any issue, you can forward video to the issue and find the solution.

at 1:27 to be precise.

Can I use it as standard room thermostat?
Hello Raim,
Can you please clarify your question?
What do you mean by standard room thermostat?
@@How2 I mean do it has NO contact. Because I want to use it on underfloor heating. Just want to use it like on/off to open and close selenoid valve
My nest works fine as long as I’m home, but if I’m gone for the day it doesn’t turn on even though I have everything programmed the same?? Why??
I would advise to reset the device and set up it as new device.
It can ne connection error.
I hope this helps.
@@How2 thank you, problem solved!
These devices are LOADED with flaws and problems! Big waste of time and frustration.... Return, get your money back and get a standard device
I have free electricity from 8pm to 6am, I want to set temperature to 70 and automatically turn on and off at that time. Is it possible to do that?
Hello,
You can do this from your Nest App.
Have you installed it?
In that you can set schedule with temperature and time.
Also, you can do on the unit, but its little complicated
@@How2 Hey thanks for responding, I havn't tried yet. I will try and let you know how it goes.

no, return product and get a standard unit....you will be frustrated like I have been....3 units have failed.in less than 5 years...NO GOOD
Should we keep the fan on or if off what happened
If Fan on Auto, It will run when system need it for heating or ventilation.
If you put the fan on ON, the blower helps circulate cold or hot air throughout your home until the temperature reaches the thermostat setting, and this runs longer.

How to connect to new WiFi?

Thanks for the question.
I will be posting UA-cam Shorts for this and i will send you the link today.
