Lock access to settings on Nest thermostat

Sachelis — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:23:49 GMT

We recently installed two Nest learning thermostats in a short-term rental. I am wondering if we can lock access to the Settings. (I am not trying to lock the temperature... I want to lock access to Settings.)

I don't want a guest changing the language, locking the temperature, changing the units (F/C), disconnecting the thermostat from the network, etc.

Hi Sachelis,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community forum.

Locking your Google Nest thermostat is a good way to keep guests or curious children from changing your thermostat’s settings while still letting you and your family adjust your home’s temperature within the range you’ve set.

Check out this link for the complete guide.

Best regards,

Ryan

That was perfect, thanks. I had read about locking the temperature range but didn't realize it also locks the other controls (i.e., the Settings) which is what I wanted.
