How to Make Nest Thermostat Manual
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2020
- How to change the settings on a Nest thermostat so that it becomes a manual thermostat and will hold a set temperature. Unlike most other thermostats, the Nest thermostat does not have a HOLD button or a hold feature so one needs to play around with the settings to be able to accomplish that which used to be done with the press of a single button on the old thermostat... In this video I show you step by step what you need to change in the settings to get this done.

Thank you so much! God bless you🙏
Froze last night.
Thanks
Genius freaking Genius TY 👍 ⚠️ Remove all weapons you may have in your home before purchasing and attempting to use these NEST thermostats as it will make you lose your sanity ...😡 And I kinda like those old white box's as UP or Down is all thats needed, plus all the other items in your home won't get broken & most importantly nobody gets seriously hurt.😅 12 other videos claiming similar results yet ONLY you got EVERY step making it 💯 👏
This video is a lifesaver! We came back to our home to find it at 85 degrees because the Nest has a mind of its own. Happy to have a nice simple, old-fashioned thermostat function again!
Question, did you have it set at a lower temperature and when you got home it was still set that way but the temp was showing 85? I hope that makes sense.
Brilliant. 100% accurate. And your customer who hates the nest has some very good reasons to do so. Thanks so much for this video
I can't stand the pos.. lol
We are at an air b&b with a nest in Tucson,AZ. It was 118 deg outside. 80 inside. The nest was going back to the auto schedule at 80 deg. Couldn't sleep so I found your channel at 1am and fixed it. . Thank you. It's nice and cool in the air b&b now.
I was so frustrated waking up to 62 degrees when I have the NEST thermostat set to 70 degrees. Thank you for allowing me to keep a consistent 70 degrees all the time.
Nothing like going to bed nice and cool and then waking up sweating. Thank you, I almost used the nest as a hockey puck.
For me it’s like going to bed nice and warm and wake up freezing lol
😂😂😂
My mom who is 81 years old...A1 Air installed two new system for her...gave her two new Nest thermostats...she called me up and ask if I can get the company to come back out and put the old thermostat back...I watch a few videos...saw Word of Advice clip...reset her Nest to the old manual style...she couldn't be more happy.
I look like the hero!
Without your clip...there is no way I could have done it.
Thank You!
Agreed. Same here without this video it’s impossible to
I spent $200 for the boiler to be check out. The technician said the boiler is not the problem, it’s the thermostat. I called Google they said the thermostat wasn’t installed properly. I called the electrician to check the Nest, he said it’s correctly installed and charged $50 for two minutes in my home.
The problem continues until I watch you video. I fixed in two minutes and I’m without my $250
Thank you
You described well why we hated the NESTs!! Thank you for working through all the settings to make it manual!! AWESOME WORK!
Finally!!!! I rent and was not given access to the Nest app. This thing has been driving me crazy! Thank you!
90 + weather for 4 days and Nest was not cooling the house. So glad i stumbled upon your video.
Thank you so much
We have been trying for a full month to stop the nest at our new rental house from turning the heat off at 4am, without luck. Its such a crappy product. Thank you for bringing warmth and good sleep back to our family with your video.
If I wasn’t already married, I’d be trying to find you! What a lifesaver! There is nothing intuitive about this product. We kept waking up burning up, only to find our thermostat had moved the heat setting to EIGHTY degrees! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I forgot to show how to set the temperatures at the end of the video.. Even though whoever has this thermostat probably already knows but I'll mention it anyway. Basically after doing the steps in the video, you will only need to switch the thermostat to heat or cool mode and after that, you only need to spin the dial to control the temperature and there is no need to even press on it for anything else. And you can also still control your thermostat remotely (from your phone) if you have it connected to your wi-fi. Changing the settings I showed will not disable that feature.
Should the unit be off when doing this, or can it be running when following these steps?
I did everything on the video then set me temp...
If I’m home all works fine but if I’m at work I come home to a cold house and have to set the temp again ??? Why won’t it stay where I set it?
Did all the steps and the whole thing stopped working. It says Heating for a long time and nothing comes out of the vents.... advice ?
Is there a way to not have to switch it to "heat" or "cool" and just leave it in "auto" mode? This would be for a person who just wants to set the temp and not worry about the "mode"
Awesome thank you.
Brother, thanks so much for getting right to the point and not wasting minutes of my life with nonsense. This took me as long s it took me to watch the video. Amazing!
This video was handy for two people that don’t know how to work a thermostat nest and we both got it. Thank you so much for your help more videos to see the new future.👍💪
God bless you for posting this! It’s 17 degrees today & I’m trying to clean out a deceased relatives house bundled up in so many layers I can’t move. YOU SAVED THE DAY FOR ME!!!! I NEVER would have figured this out on my own. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank u saved m u life I got new furnace and nest went nuts..I was up all night crying til I found your video..GOD BLESS YOU..I AM NOW AT EASE.WITH WORKING NEST I CAN WORK!
Excellent video, I tried to remember the steps but had to watch again to get it right. Well done, I will save this video for the day my Nest tries to get "smart" again.
HUGE THANKS! This is exactly what I wanted. The Nest thermostat is beyond geeky, and I loath the idea of a bit of tech thinking it knows what I want especially when my needs are so varied every day. I simply want the heat on or off at the temperature I set, and your video finally shows me in straightforward steps how to achieve this. Brilliant!
I dislike that it gives you a time when the heat number you choose comes on in hour
You are now my rock star favorite you tube helper! OMG. We are snowbirds and leave out home for 6 months of the year without wi-fi. It's Florida so we aren't worried about heat but now we can set the cool and leave without worrying! Thank you soooo much!
Thank you. I honestly hate this Nest Thermostat. I hate it with a passion but it came with the house.
and you saved the day for me!! You are my hero :) I want to turn the furnace down at night and not have to worry about waking up in a sweat just because Ms. Nest thought it was too cold!! I've felt like she was fighting me every inch of every day--thank you for shedding the light on MANUAL CONTROL!!
Just came back to say thanks again. I used this video about a year or two ago to fix the nest upstairs before I smashed it against the pavement. Now I'm using this to fix the settings on the one in the basement.
Thank you for stopping by to leave a comment, I'm glad to hear that the video has been helpful. Cheers! 🤜🤛
This video is a life saver! I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to work around the Nest not cooling my house down as I kept trying to do. But then this video pops up and walla! I now have control over my thermostat again! Beware of the smart world! Yes it's convenient in certain cases but not at the expense of controlling my temps in my house! Great work on the video and thanks again!
I’m on vacation in the desert & the VRBO house has the Nest. I too almost took a hammer to it until this video. Thank you! You just saved my family vacation.
Omg LIFESAVER...I SWEAR nest thermostats was a neurotic alien who liked to see me struggle... Thank you thank you
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! My rental property has a Nest thermostat (was already there when I purchased the property) and it’s so much easier to use the thermostat manually - especially since tenants come and go and not everyone has the same preferences/schedules. This video saved me from so many future headaches! Thank you again!!!
Hey Jay.....you are a life saver. I have checked online several times. But its nothing like hands on (visual). For one year in an apartment complex no one could actually explain how to work this nest to ones advantage. Like the gentleman; I also hated it. I was constantly up and down changing the temperature. It was driving me nuts. And forget about when I'm sleeping in bed. Who wants to get up in the middle of the night to change a temperature gauge or NEST thing. So I would mainly suffer with the heat. Today I said to myself, there has got to be something online Your site came up! Fantastic!! Thank you so much! I am happy after one year of misery. From the elderly . I'm looking for more of you. Thanks again!! 😊
May God bless you! I purchased one of these for my grandparents and it felt like the worst purchase ever! Its been driving them crazy and they refused to pay for a technician to come out. So glad I finally decided to jump on YT and found this video! You have NO IDEA how grateful we are ❤️
THANK YOU! I’ve almost taken a hammer to our bloody Nest.
Me too!! Hated my nest until I found this video.
Yes! I'm thinking of ripping it off! Until this video! Lol
Lol I feel you
SAME!
Same here! Lol
I love this!!!! Got a new heat pump and the new nest came with it. I fused and cussed for 2 weeks. HVAC people couldn't or wouldn't help me. I hated the nest. A co-worker said it could be reprogrammed. I googled it and found you. I reprogrammed it a week ago. IT WORKED!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you so much for this video, you saved me! I’m in Missouri with zero temperatures and the nest was taking control and not in a good way!
Wow! Went from zero to hero with this GREAT how-to video. His comment "unfortunately Nest does not make this easy" is right on the money (money that is that I was just about to pay our HVAC guy, but kept in my own pocket). I simply wrote down his step-by-step instructions and followed them to a "new" totally manual Nest. Very many thanks.
Everything your customer complained about was totally legit! Nothing like coming home to a house that is only 17°C in the winter after being at my mom’s house for a couple of days!! This thermostat is Satin!!! Thanks for this video! Huge life saver for me and the Nest!!
That's a soft thermostat....
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEOS. I’ve spent too many weeks wondering what I was doing wrong that I couldn’t figure out how to use this. The apartment I moved into had this already installed so I was kinda stuck with it and had no idea that the whole thing was supposed to be autonomous. If I set it to 70 it would be at 70 for 10 mins then the air just shut off and it would go back to being freezing. I don’t think the company understands how many people just want ONE STABLE TEMPERATURE throughout the day and night
I know such a dumb product for being “so smart” 😂
Thank you so much. This friggin’ thing was driving me crazy with it’s “smart” auto-adjustments to the house temperature. Love the WiFi remote capabilities. Hate the learning auto-temp feature. Also, considering it’s supposed to to be so “smart”, is always wrong when it estimates how long it takes to reach a certain temperature.
so wifi remote works even in manual mode?
@@rickrosenbloom9605 Yes, the wi-if remote still works. I use the Nest I-phone app often. That being said, my first Nest unit developed a bad wireless chip not long after installation. I did troubleshooting and determined that the wi-if function had failed. Google sent me a free replacement. It hadn’t been installed very long before the cooling function on it failed. It would heat, but no A/C. So, I paid for a third Nest (I swore if it failed I wouldn’t be buying another), and it has worked great, wi-fi Nest app and all.
FINALLY!!! My last newly installed unit came with a Nest, and I asked them to turn all that junk off. They said they did, but I was STILL fighting with this thing for the past 2-3 YEARS!! Thanks so much for the video! Now I hope I did everything right and I'm not blaming my mother anymore for changing the temp.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve use this video twice in the last eight months for my Airbnb nest thermostat.
Utterly thrilled to have solved this nest issue which was driving us crazy. One serious consequence was losing sleep because thermostat changed settings in the middle of the night without warning, causing us to wake up. Also a huge amount of time wasted trying to change the settings to no avail. I don't know why Nest can't make it simple to switch to manual with just one click. Thank you so much for posting this!
Because the device is designed for Google's convenience, not for ours. That's what so many people don't understand.
In manual mode can you still create manual schedules?
Just use the app
100% agree! I’ve lost so much sleep (and therefore, much productivity during my days) due to random drastically increased temps throughout the night which lead to miserable sleeping conditions! I’d set the entire weekly temp schedule only to wake up and see that it was not at the scheduled temp & that at different hours of the night it was 77-78 degrees! When you live in very hot climate and it’s summer this doesn’t make for a happy morning🥵
Totally agree! It was affecting my sleep when it would stop cooling at 4am. By 5am it would get 3 degrees hotter. It was severely affecting my sleep.
You are a genius! My Nest was running the AC even when it said it wasn't running it. I followed each of these steps and now it is finally turned off. I can't imagine what my bill is going to be. Maybe Google will pay for it! Thank you thank you thank you.
Loved this video which rescued me from cursing the Nest thermometer all the time. Thanks a million!
We have been trying to figure this out by ourselves.... You made it so easy! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Thank you Jay! I have been trying to sort this out for a week without success. Your simple step by step achieved what I want from my Nest... simple operation. Great instructions, THANK YOU!
If you are ever thinking of getting a Nest - don't.
fr. it’s 100 degrees rn and my nest is killing me
Agreeeee
Never posted on UA-cam before, but definitely don't go with a Nest.
I'm ready to chunk mine. Set it for 68" when I leave for work, come home and the house is 81 degrees. Nobody can explain why.
Agreed. They’re terrible.
Thank you so much for posting this video! We're renting a house and just wanted a manual thermostat! We would have never figured it out on our own! Much appreciation for your post!
Another big THANK YOU! 95 outside, thermostat set to 77 but 80 inside, with “65 minutes to go”!?
Followed easy directions and can actually feel some cool air now.❤
Either NEST hasn't figured this out or they're not telling. In my eyes you are a god and I bow down to you, LOL! Has been working with no glitches for months. Thanks so much!
They probably can't imagine that anybody could possibly hate some of their features.
Thank you Jay. I have been searching a solution for this issue since last almost 2 years. Nest AI is absolutely ridiculous and off the mark. I have lost literally 1000s of dollars in increased electricity bills because of this ridiculous autosense feature. I wanted full manual control over my thermostat and thanks to you, I have achieved it today. I wish I should have found you much sooner. I have liked your video, subscribed to your channel and set notifications to 'All', at least that much I can do for this money saving advice which you have given here. Cheers.
Bless you!!! Thank you!! We were setting it to a cool 68/69 going to bed and waking up with it going to auto schedule around 75! Thank you for posting! This was so helpful.
I can not thank you enough for this super clear and easy to follow tutorial!! I just moved into a new home and I thought I was going crazy with everything you explained in the video from that guy. I’m so glad I’m not the only who was frustrated. I would have never in 1 million years been able to figure this thing out by myself so thank you so much!!
Why mine still the same. The heater start if the temp reach 19c. I want to maintain 23c. Anyone can help
8
You've made life so much better!!! Thank you for easy to follow and implement instructions. Rose and Tim
When i saw all the steps I was sure it would not work with the NEST i have. But it did!!! We moved in here where there was an existing NEST and it had a mind of its own. Finally, when it said it was heating, there was room temperature air coming of out the system - even though it said it was heating. Now, all fixed!!
The premise of the Nest is insane: settings based on people’s schedules. When WEATHER is the whole reason for HVAC systems. The schedule-based system is the reason everyone is freezing in their office buildings. Thank you for your excellent video!
Here's what's crazy: Mine used to do a great job of seeing what the outside temp was, and adjusting between what I had set. I have never, ever, set my temp to 78F. Yet, last year, Google made some change and after over 3 years with this thing it started boiling me like a lobster. Someone at Google screwed this up and refuses to admit it. Hilarious.
THANK YOU!! You have saved my sanity....
Thank you very much for this video! Going up and down the stairs in the early morning hours because the a/c just turn itself to a hotter temp was just to much. You are amazing!
Get the app so you don't have to move 😉
Thanks a million, your instructions work like a charm. I watched quite a few & did not work. I’m this close to smack this nest & run to Lowe’s to get something new with better options. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much! This was literally driving my husband and I crazy! Waking up in the middle of the night to the heater running with your throat dry isn’t fun! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
OMGGGG. Winter in utah and this thing definitely has a mind of its own. Woke up to 55 degrees and couldn't get it to heat up NOW. Plus we have neighbors below (one thermostat) asking us to turn the heat up, and we're like "uhhhh we're trying!" Thank you so much man! Seriously! Coldest morning of my life.
You are the best! In Las Vegas, two air conditioners. Back of the house was 89 degrees! Your solution works! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you thank you! This Nest thing was driving me crazy! Your video made life worth living again!
I love you! Just got new a/c units with Nest thermostats, and I was pulling my hair out to set them! Thank you, you have saved me from going bald!!
Thank you. I implemented those 4 changes. One thing I am not sure is included. Several nights ago, I woke up hot. I got out of bed and checked the Nest thermostat. There was a window that said "Now is the time to replace your furnace filters ==> Dismiss" I pressed dismiss and the A/C started again. So... If I was away traveling and this happened my A/C would be off the entire time. Or if it were winter, then my heat would be off and my pipes would freeze. Thank you so much for this video, you have saved many people.
Thankyou for this video! And its a relief to read these comments knowing I'm not the only one out there frustrated with the Nest. Like others here, I would have never figured this out.
Finally, a straightforward instructional video. Thank you! Just know that if you lose power you’ll need to do this again.
I just figured that out you're so right, danm thing had mom's freezing again...
My husband just gave me a high-five for “fixing” our nest. 😂😂😂
Thank YOU! Nest looks great, kids love turning the dial, and I like how easy it was to set up on my phone, but I hated its "smart" features. One day it decided "eco" meant 84 degrees. It took hours to get back to 76 that day.
I just moved into a house with a nest thermostat. I found your video to be informative and helpful. Thank you so much for putting it together.
Thank you so much! That thermostat was driving me crazy, and I couldn’t figure out what was going on. This video was perfect and easy to follow. Now, we’ll see what happens.
Dude this advice is fantastic. The nest thermostat is too fiddly and does it’s own thing too much, and the WiFi breaks in the unit! We rent, and the nest was heating our house to 78 and reading 72. And it was cold right before bed, and crazy hot at midnight. You’re a lifesaver.
VERY VERY HELPFUL!!!! This has been driving us crazy! Nest is beyond complicated - I would prefer a simple on/off thermostat - did not need or want all these features but got stuck with them when new heater was installed a couple of years ago. This has taken too much time and attention to figure out - it's not a "smart" device for us at all! You are GREAT for posting this video. And now we HAVE a simple manual thermostat. NEST should pay you for helping its customers!
Thank you so much!! We have been having so many issues with our nest and it's finally fixed, thanks to you.
I did not know that this thermostat had the capability to operate as a manual thermostat.
Very good to know that the setting can be changed if desired by homeowner.
Yeah! It's useful for the occasional homeowners that are like the guy I described in the beginning of the video :)
Worked like a charm, no more watching the temp jump around. Thank you for your time in posting this video.
Thank you for helping me with my frustration when the house is 60F and it won't let you change the temp for 1.5 hours. Couldn't get out of eco mode. You are the best.
Thanks. This finally got me out of that crazy thermostat he’ll.
Perfect. Clearest explanation ever. Thanks so much.
Thank you SO MUCH making this video!!! I have been fighting my Nest thermostat for over 1 year and this instructional video solved the issue I had with a thermostat that was out of control!
Thank you sooo much!!! You are the best. I've been waking up in the middle of the night 2 and 3 times just to set the temperature back to were I wanted it. God Bless you!!!
Thank you! I found this video so helpful I got tired of my Nest controlling me instead of me being able to control my nest thanks again!
AWESOME HELP !!!
THE WORLD
NEEDS MORE
GOOD, SMART
PEOPLE
LIKE
YOU,
SIR.
Thankyou. Should have searched for this long ago. Tired of waking up freezing or too hot. .. This video was clear and easy .. i just went out to shovel the driveway and the heat temperature remained the same when i came in .. thankyou again
Your a life saver!!! I was about to rip mine off the wall!! Lol Its 6 degrees by me and my heat kept shutting off on its own and my house was freezing. With your help my home is nice and toasty again!!!
Thank you soooooo much for this! You are the ONLY video that explained it easily, step by step! I literally held my iPad while I did it and finished in less than five minutes! Only problem is my Ac is definitely working but the darn house temperature readout in the Nest is reading 76! 🤦🏻♀️ Guess I shouldn’t care. Just hoping there’s no short circuit or something so the damn thing doesn’t blow up! Lol
If this works it will literally be a life savor. Our nest thermostat has been a menace here in Texas. It's 109 outside and the thermostat switches to 80+ degrees in the house then when you turn it down, it takes almost an hour running to get the house cooled back down. It's not saving any electricity at all and has made our home unbearable at times. Thank you for your video!
I'm not at the property. Can I do this from my phone
@@joannestoloff9407 unfortunately no, you have to change the settings on the device from what I understand. Mine has been great ever since we did this.
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been dealing with this for almost 3 years!!! My office is upstairs in the house and it’s always just setting itself to 76 in the afternoon which is ridiculous. Thank you again!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just bought a house and we don’t have internet. Your video saved us from freezing inside our home. It only took a few minutes to get the thermostat to manual mode.
Thank you, thank you, thank you......I was about to rip the sticking thing off the wall. You are literally a lifesaver!
That as simple and amazing!! Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with my nest for a couple of years now.
You are a genius!!! (Ditto Marcus below.) First winter in Utah. Beautiful, but cold, cold!! Nest already in when we purchased the house this past summer. Nest has been making us wonky for 6 months!! I looked several places before finding your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I kept wanting to set my thermostat to 73 but it kept going down to 69. My power bill has been insane!
Thank you!! My Mom was so sick of her nest. This is a massive help!!
Thank you! I have no idea how much heat/money I have wasted with this thermostat setting itself to 74F when I got up every morning.
Dear goodness THANK YOU!! I am in the very same position as your client; the home already came with Nest thermostat which I can’t stand; instead of a smart thermostat, I just want a standard dummy thermostat that does one job it has properly - keep the temperature I set it to!
I was ready to rip this thing out of the wall (I’d much rather have an ugly thermostat that works over something that works _too_ well that it doesn’t) but you saved my sanity. Thank you!!
Thanks for the info brother. Our Nest thermostat was all over the place and was really annoying. You saved me some dough.
Thank you so much for the little tutorial, it worked for me too. Like others, mine had a mind of its own and was driving me bat sh*t crazy. Fixed it 24 hours ago, and it's still on the same setting!😁👍
This was super detailed, step-by-step instructions. EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you so much. Love the cheesy joke at the end, too. Cheers
Outstanding instructions on going to manual mode on the Nest controller. You have a new subscriber now because you my friend are a good 🇺🇸 American who shares freely. Thank you so much.
Omg I wish I had watched this last night. First night in my new home and I couldn’t sleep because I was freezing! THANK YOU!!!
What a piece! Amazed they sell so many.
Good marketing ;)
Aesthetically pleasing and beautifully designed from an external perspective. I’ve been tempted to buy one on numerous occasions. They did a really great job in that regard and have the competition killed. And to your point excellent marketing as well. But unbelievable the hoops they make you jump through. The irritation that they try so hard to run a homeowners heating and cooling life could frustrate many to the point of returning.
Word of Advice TV Hey Jay,
Completely off subject, but a thought that has crossed my mind lately as we enter into cooling season is the question of performing preventative maintenance as it relates to capacitors. You may have already covered it in a previous video and I’m going to search further, however If you haven’t touched on it, I thought it may be a question other PM focused viewers may have and you likely know the answer to
Specifically, is there reason to check capacitor strength annually? I could be wrong, but I believe an under performing out of tolerance cap may still allow the compressor to start. And if that’s the case, would that under performing cap potentially cut the life span of an AC compressor motor or even a blower motor perhaps?
I don’t know the answer but given the cost to replace an cooling system in the event of a compressor winding failure, is it wise to proactively check cap performance annually or every two years if an under performing cap could or would likely diminish useful life of a critical motor? Not sure if that’s something many techs check and advise replacement if out of spec when conducting an annual tune up for example?
I’m big a PM fan and don’t want to be careless with assets I have so the thought has crossed my mind many times to check cap performance but have not done so out of laziness and not sure it matters. But if the question does have merit, I was thinking it could be an idea for use on a future video of yours down the line depending on how popular you think that content might yield number of views, etc.
Just my two cents and likely completely meritless. Have a nice Memorial Day!
