Hello,
With the new public preview of the Home app's new AI features, it is finally possible to use multiple schedules with the nest thermostat by setting up multiple routines.
This is for users like @Snoozen and @davidbutts77 and others who have been requesting this feature. (I'm not staff, just another user who was looking for a solution)
You can use natural language to convert your wishes into a script at http://home.google.com/automations
A couple of hitches right now are 1) scripted routines have to be toggled on/off on the web at https://home.google.com/u/0/home (but I assume that will migrate to the apps in due time), and 2) setting the thermostat mode (heat, cool, eco) isn't recognized yet.
For mine, I'm using the following script for my Summer temperatures (and I created a separate one for Winter that I'm running right now):
