Does Nest take into account that the furnace uses a 4" air filter and staging for filter reminders?

We have a new 2 stage heat pump and new furnace that has a 4" filter instead of the standard 1" filter. After only one month of use, Nest reminded me to change the filter. 

I know the system is running a lot more often than our old system for efficiency purposes, but does Nest take into account that a 4" filter shouldn't need to be changed as often as a 1" filter? 4" filters are much more expensive than 1" and our HVAC company gave us the impression that we may make it 6 months between changes. I had hoped at least 3 months before having to change again. 

Thanks!

Hey there Tiffany Smith 7711, 

I'm sorry for the late response, but I wanted to hop in here to help. I understand wanting to know if the Nest device can use a 4" air filter or not, I'm happy to look into this. 

I was able to find an article about air filters that are compatible with the Nest Thermostat system. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

I’ve had the same question for a long time and have found zero answers.
