Heat goes on every day to 72, but not on schedule

[RobJW]

I have a nest thermostat (not sure the generation, maybe 2nd).. and a furnace. Even though I don’t have early on set up and I am not  part of nest aware, and even though I don’t have it scheduled… every day at around 8am my heater turns on to 72 degrees and I don’t want it to. How can I stop this? What is causing it?  Thanks.

Hello RobJW,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your inquiry.

I appreciate you checking for possible settings that may trigger your thermostat to activate your system. Please check the Auto-schedule and ensure that it's disabled. Also, if you have a Google Home app, check the Routines and check for any thermostat action, then remove it.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks.. I think it was that in a routine (that I forgot about) and which also set the temperature at some sort of threshold range and not the exact.l (for some reason it does that, not sure why)

I am still testing. But I think that was it!

Thanks.

Hi there,

Perfect! Please check that out as well, edit the Routines if needed, and monitor your thermostat's behavior to see if there is progress.

Keep me posted.

Hi RobJW,

I don't want to be a nudge, but I'd like to check if you were able to tried it. Feel free to reach back if you still need help.

Thanks. It works fine now. As I suspected the problem was that the thermostat adjustment was part of a google routine I had in the morning . I didn’t have it set at 72 in the routine but it somehow turned on higher than I set in the routine for some sort of threshold range. It has some algorithm for that which I don’t understand . I took the thermostat adjustment out of the routine and the problem went away. Thanks!
