Fan schedule

ThatKaren — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 02:28:54 GMT

We don’t need ac/heat for several months a year in the Phoenix, AZ metro area. It would be outstanding if we could circulate the air in our house using the fan on a schedule that actually fits our needs. Currently we can run the fan for 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes EVERY HOUR. We can do this for preset hours. Example: between 6pm and 11pm. That’s great. However, the absolutely best thing ever would be if we could change the EVERY HOUR to a drop down menu as well. I’d like to run the fan 15 minutes every 4 hours. Or every two hours. I don’t need it to run every hour. This seems a simple programming issue. Please consider adding this feature. I’m not alone in wanting this.

Hi ThatKaren,

Thanks for posting here in the community. I understand you would like the fan schedule feature on your Nest Thermostat to have more flexibility, specifically allowing you to run the fan for 15 minutes every 2 or 4 hours, instead of every hour. Help is here!

While the fan schedule feature isn't available at the moment, I know how useful this would be for you. This functionality could significantly improve your experience using the Google ecosystem.

In the meantime, I appreciate you sharing your feedback to continue improving our products and meeting your needs.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Melany
