How do I schedule a Nest to automatically leave Eco mode?

[Scott_R]

I'll be going away for the weekend soon, and presumably my Nests will go into Eco mode when they detect that I'm away.

I'll very likely forget to take them out of Eco mode before I return and so will come home to 80F+ humid temperatures. I have a general idea of when I'll arrive home, so while I remember to is there a way to schedule the Nests to come out of Eco mode and start cooling?

Hi Scott_R, 

Thanks for reaching out to us. I found a helpful guide for you about Eco temperatures and how to change settings for your Nest Thermostat. 

Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help. 

Best,

Zoe

That does not answer the question I asked.

Hi there,

@Scott_R, I'm afraid that what you're looking for isn't supported. When your Nest Learning Thermostat or Nest Thermostat E is on Eco mode, it will stay in that mode and won’t automatically switch back to heating or cooling until you manually switch it to one of those modes. While, if somebody’s home, your Nest thermostat can use Early-On to start heating or cooling early so that your home reaches the scheduled temperature on time.

Please let us know if you have further questions. 

I appreciate the input, Zoe.

Regards,

Jenelyn

Well, the answer seems to be "can't be done," so I guess that's that, other than asking that this feature be added.

The link only shows how to give feedback via Google Home, which I do not have. Why not a web page?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Thanks for looking into this, Jenelyn.

@Scott_R, how's it going? Have you managed to create a routine in the Google Home app? If you haven't yet, the routines could help automate your thermostat to leave Eco mode even when you're away. To know more about how it goes, please check out the Home and Away Routines page and let us know if you have more questions.

Regards,
Mark
