Nest Schedule Setup: Programming the Nest Thermostat 

Installation was easier then setting the temperature.

Just got the Nest and this video was so helpful! Thank you!

Thank you...Nest came with the condo I just purchased...... this was very helpful.

Awesome video. Thank you for showing me exactly what I wanted to know.

Very useful thanks - we are installing 4 gen 3’s and 4 temp sensors - this will help once we get through the naming - assume you can setup a parent to control all 4 thermostats through an Alexa skill

Thank you. I was able to fix my nest thermostat!!!

​ @SmartHomeMojo if the temp is triggered to turn on the AC at 78, is it just 'on' the whole time? or is there a way to trigger to turn on at 78, and then turn off at let's say 72?

Awesome video! Thanks for showing the dual temps.

When you set a temperature using the program at a specific hours, will it keep that temperature at the setpoint until the next change of temperature in the schedule. (if I set 68 at 8 am and 60 at 2 pm will it keep 68 between 8 and 2 and then keep 60 between 2 pm and 8 am next morning)? Thank you

When I change the temp on the nest by just a degree or two it responds "in 2 hours" or something like that. Does that mean it takes the house 2 hours to get to that degree?

Nest Thermostat (3rd Gen): When scheduling, how do I have it be at 72 degrees from 8am to 9am, and off for the other 23 hours of each day?

That was cool. Thank you!

How do I set it up to where it only comes on from like 8pm-8am..? Or just in the morning from 7a-9a...?

Is there any way to just turn on one of two schedules without having to schedule it for the week. eg. On day heat comes on at 4am another schedule having it come on at 9am? I work a rotating schedule.

Hi guys, this video explains everything except for what I am trying to learn; Can I set a minimum temperature and password protect it so that kids won't be able to drop the temperature under the limit I set?

Great product, worth the money

I bought a house that has a nest thermostat.The owners don’t remember the pin. How do I reset it?

Did Google cancel my ability to reprogram my nest thermostat online? I don't mean on the tiny screen of an iPhone or worse yet on the even more limited thermostat screen. In the past I could reprogram my thermostat online on my computer. What happened?

My app was set for 8 am heat but heat did not go on until 10am. I had to reset heat to 6 am for it to go on at 8am. Why?

I want to schedule my AC @69 between 12am-6am, have it shut off, then between 2pm-5pm @72 then shut off, how can I schedule to make sure it shuts off between those times I don’t want it on? Also when I put either AC or Heat is it Auto or On? Thanks

Is currently have mine set to go down to 63 at 10 pm and 68 at 5:45 am. Would it be better to have it go to say to 65 at 3 am so my furnace does not have to work so hard to get to 68 at 5:45 am? I have a gas forced air furnace. Thanks, Brian in MI

Why does mine say that it's going to take like 2+ hours to get to the target temp, for example 78? And it's always running, while with my old thermostat the house would cool down fast and then the AC would turn off. I feel like it's using more energy.

Addition to my recent comment: I like to turn off the device (system) at night whether it is in "cool" or "heat" mode. Sometimes moving between menus works (after I found out about "pushing" on the ring then using the "dial" to move within the menu) and sometimes it doesn't ....Again very frustrating!

After I set the schedule how do I make sure it’s going to run the schedule what setting do I use?

Can someone please explain to me the point of "copy week" on the bottom of the phone schedule screen? There doesn't appear to be a way to view any other week than the current week.

So helpful thank you. Can you explain the ECO mode?

Hey there is the fan supposed to be running when the heat is on and is the furnace supposed to be running all day I have it set at 69. Thanks

OK, so how do you use Copy Week and Paste Week?

Great Video!

If you have created a set schedule, will the auto-schedule function still work if turned on? I.e. Would it ammend my set schedule depending if I change the set temperature? If not, and I want it to auto schedule again, do I delete my set schedule?

This guy knows his stuff...easy to follow

So during the times that you do not have anything scheduled the ac is off?

I configure the schedule as shown in the video but my thermostat does not turn on through schedule. I can turn on manually. Any idea.

I get the temperature adjustments, but can you schedule the thermostat to turn on and off?

Help my nest comes on when my house is empty.the schedule is set.

what does it mean to have multiple temp dots on the same day? is it start and finish? thanks!

Over-riding the schedule by manual adjustment of temp on app or nest itself changes temp for like 5 min before it reverts to the schedule. There must be a better solution.

Great video thank you!

Found the biggest drawback in "instructions" is how to transition from pushing on the ring to get one screen and then having to TU RN the dial for further screens. It's very frustrating. You do not make that distinction and it is confusing. I like the Nest but the operation from the on wall device is maddening.

Nest really made a mess of the manual schedule capability. Setting the time and temperature is really fiddly to do: My fingers keep adjusting the time when I’m trying to change the temperature and vice versa. Also, there is no rhyme or reason to copy a weekly schedule as there is nowhere to paste it as there is only one weekly schedule. Lastly the capability you need is to copy a day to another day and this is not obvious at all. I’ve called Nest and even they couldn’t tell me. This is by using the Nest app on a mobile device. They have not updated the mobile app and obviously haven’t listened to anyone’s suggestions in years judging by the comments! Other thermostats are much more logically implemented. You would think that the approach they use to copy a week would be how you would copy a day - but it isn’t and this fact is what is so confusing and why people cannot determine how to copy a day. As I mentioned I called Nest Help and they weren’t able to tell me how to copy a day. Obviously the Help don’t know the product and that’s after waiting days for help.

How to connect in my second phone?

My cool temperature at night is 68 but the cooling goes to 64. I do not understand why

I dont think we have this in uk would ideal

The schedule app on my android is not user friendly at all!

No one explain how you schedule it to turn off 🤯

This app is a literal giant piece of shit, looks like something invented in the 80's. Thank you for this video, great work, they don't show this piece of shit in the app

Great video!
