Script Editor - Ambient & Temperature Setpoint Help

nestnoob3 — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:25:05 GMT

Hi all,

Looking for some advice, simply put -

I would like to perform an action e.g. reduce the setpoint or switch off a heater, when the ambient temperature of a room is equal to or greater than the manually set setpoint of my Nest Learning Thermostat.

Google Home doesn't appear to have this functionality and the Ambient and Setpoint must be a value e.g. 17C rather than looking at the value of each other? If I want to run the heating setpoint at anything other than 17 I have to change the script every time to execute the same actions.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks for your reply. I’ve managed to achieve what I need to now by creating multiple scripts for different temperatures with a 0.5 degree difference. Seems to be working well. Still exploring whether I can consolidate these into 1 script using different conditions.
