Water heating

Hi all,

Now that the cost of living is getting higher, I wonder if anyone has a suggestion to be able to adjust the water heating schedule in more detail? (I have an old water system).

For example, In the summer I could put the schedule to warm the water up for 15-20 minutes, but the minimum I can set in the Nest app is segments of 30 minutes.
I don't think it's only me with this problem, and I wonder if all the users with the same boiler system could alter the schedule in the same manner, and afterwards check the stats for how much less accumulated gas we all are consuming, how good for the environment that would be?

But you can say no, and challenge me if you want 🙂

Thanks,

Dee

I’d really welcome this ability too. And seems such a simple adjustment to make to save energy and save cost.

Hi there, @Dee_012,

Thanks for reaching out. Since the suggestion to set the schedule is minimum 30 minutes by design, the only solution would be to keep it this way. However, for more details, please check out our official help page here: https://bit.ly/2ZpOQxs.
