I have a nest thermostat in a rental that I want to remain on “home”. Is there a way to prevent it from constantly going to “away”?

Hi Laura Brant,

To change how Home/Away Assist controls your Nest products, follow these steps.

1. Open the Nest app.
2. Tap Settings  on the home screen.
3. Select Home/Away Assist.
4. Tap either the Home or Away icon at the top of the screen. You’ll find a summary of what each of your Nest products will do when your home is in that mode.
5. If you want to make any changes, tap on the Nest product you’d like to control.
