Synchronized fan schedule with two thermostats

mahi70 — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 18:21:13 GMT

I have two Nest thermostats in two zones.
I use the fan schedule to run the fan every hour for 15 minutes on both thermostats.

Looks like the are not running the fan at at the same time.

Is there a way to synchronize the fan turn on and turn off on both the thermostats?

Hi Jake,
I read the article and this point my understanding is it is not possible to synchronize the fan schedule between two thermostats. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there,

I wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Thanks for the assistance, @Jake.

@mahi70, the fan schedule will start the moment we turn on the HVAC system. A synchronized fan schedule is possible if you turn on both units at exactly the same time.

Feel free to let us know if you have more questions in mind.

Best regards,

Mark

Hi @Markjosephp ,

Let me make this clear.
There is only one HVAC system with two zones.
Each zone has a Nest learning thermostat.
However the fan runs at different times on the hour.

Thanks,

Mahi

Hi there,

Got it. I'm sorry for the delayed response.

The fan schedule is determined solely by the time of use, unlike the Temperature Schedule that you can set with specific time. Nest Thermostats don't synchronize fan schedule when fan is activated. The activation of the fan always depending on the activation of your HVAC system.

If you have any other queries, please let us know.

Best regards,

Mark

Hello,

Can this be requested as a feature?
I would like to have the air circulated in the same time for both the zones.

Thanks,
Mahi
