I asked this question a several years ago and submitted feedback but nothing has been done about this issue - which seems like a simple fix.
The Nest Learning thermostat has a filter reminder feature but I cannot figure out how to change the interval. It makes sense that the filter should be changed based on run time. However, I can't figure out how to alter the interval. It seems like it is permanently set at 1,000 hours.
What if I live with multiple pets, or have allergies, or live with a smoker, or live in a dusty environment? What if I use a filter with a higher MERV rating that may clog up faster and cause a decrease in airflow across my system?
No big deal - I can just look at the run time on the filter and decide to change it earlier, right? Wrong. There is no visible counter and no way to tell how far you are into the 1000 hour life of your filter.
This is a huge oversight on the part of the developers and something that can be easily changed - am I missing something????
