Hi user16, 

 

Thanks for posting. The Nest Thermostat is set to maintain a temperature of 74°F between 6 am and 6 pm and 64°F between 6 pm and 6 am. It will activate the appropriate heating or cooling system to reach and maintain the desired temperature during these time periods. The cooling system will be activated if the temperature rises above 74°F from 6 am to 6 pm, and the heating system will be activated if it falls below 64°F from 6 pm to 6 am. During the transition between the two time periods, the Nest Thermostat will adjust the temperature gradually to ensure a smooth transition and prevent rapid cycling of the heating or cooling system. This helps maintain energy efficiency and prevents excessive wear on the HVAC equipment.

 

Let us know if that helps.

 

Best,

Zoe
