I just upgraded to the 4th generation Google Nest thermostat. I like the look but regretting my decision because now the home and away feature on the Google home app is not automatically switching both my thermostats to Eco mode. Just the one in my living room not the second one in my bedroom. I have my location settings as always. And have no idea how to manually change it to Eco mode either. I called the help line they were worthless. It was a lot easier with the original Nest App. Anyone know how to get both to change to Eco when away?

Hi Vdatta,
Thanks for reaching out to the community. I'm sorry to hear that your Nest Thermostat 4th gen is not working as expected with the home and away assistance not responding in your 2nd thermostat. I'm happy to assist you right now.
I recommend checking the presence sensing thermostat settings in the Google Home app. These features can help to determine presence inside the home and adjust to your needs when you are home or away. To learn more About presence sensing and how to manage your data, you can check this article.
Also, to Learn about Eco Temperatures and how to change settings in your Nest Learning Thermostat 4th gen, you can check this article.
Feel free to keep us posted if you have more questions.
Regards,
Gabriela
