The house I bought two years ago came with two Nest Learning thermostats installed. Initially, I didn't spend much time learning how to use them but when I did I don't like what I've found.
We prefer to set heat manually, expecting the temperature we select to be maintained throughout the night. That doesn't work. Set it to 70, it turns on and heats to 70 if not already there, we get up the next morning or in the middle of the night, and the temp is 5 to 6 degrees cooler, the temperature set to 67 or 68.
This sounds like an issue related to Eco, one that could be solved by turning off Home/Away Assist. That is off, the problem remains.
I've read a number of people complaining about this here, but no solutions. I called Nest customer support this morning and while the agent wanted to be helpful, he knew less about the problem than I did. His only suggestion was to set a Schedule. I explained that while that might work for one evening, would we need to set a different one with different temperatures for other nights? He didn't know and that's not a solution, regardless.
Is there really no way to manually set temperatures that will be maintained for however long the user wishes?
I'm posting here as a last effort to see if one of the Community Specialists might have a solution. I doubt it, based on what I've read. If not, I'll replace both thermostats with some other brand.
