I am trying to change the presets, because they are just dumb.
I've gone down the rabbit hole of the internet, and the only thing I can see are the following steps...

Hi @LeoT1,
Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand your frustration; editing Nest thermostat presets can be a bit different than expected. Let's see if we can get those presets adjusted for you.
While the online instructions mention "edit," you're right, there isn't a specific "save" button involved. Here's the key: Once you change the temperature for a preset using the "+" and "-" buttons, those changes should automatically be applied to that preset.
Let's try it together.
Once you've made the temperature adjustment, it should be applied to that specific preset.
If you're still having trouble, let me know, and we can explore some additional troubleshooting steps together.
Here's an additional tip: You can also create custom presets with your preferred temperatures if the existing ones don't meet your needs.

Hello @LeoT1,
Thank you for posting in the community!
That's definitely not the expected behavior! It sounds like your Nest thermostat might be functioning a little differently than the online instructions suggest. I appreciate your effort in trying to troubleshoot the thermostat; however, if none of these steps resolve the issue, consider a factory reset of your thermostat as a last resort. Let me know if you know how to do it or if you can follow the steps on this factory reset link. Remember, this will erase all your settings, and you'll need to set up your thermostat again, including choosing presets during the setup process. Make sure you are using the Google Home app to control your Nest thermostat.
Please let me know if you were able to fix it. Thank you.

Thank you for the response !! Sadly, when I g get through step 4 above ( change the preset ) the slide for temp automatically slides back to the starting point. Also going between the settings they remain unchanged.
Trying the 'add' process, there is no option to 'add' in the presets. Just the three presets and 'cancel'
