This question has been raised for a long time in a lot of forums. I still see no resolution from Google. I want to run my house fan 24/7 to constantly circulate air. I do NOT want to have my A/C or heat turned on. At the moment, we are in autumn, when the temperature is pleasantly warm in the day and pleasantly cool at night. I want my windows open, not the A/C or heat turned on. Virtually EVERY thermostat I have ever used, in any home I have ever lived, has had the ability to run the house fan WITHOUT having the unit set to A/C or heat mode. I want to circulate the nice outdoor air that is blowing in through my open windows. I don't want my A/C compressor kicking on, nor do I want my furnace to fire up. I have a Nest Thermostat E with a dedicated fan wire. Why can't you make this adjustment in the programming? This may very well be the deal breaker that drives me back to ANY other thermostat manufacturer. I was born in the 1970's and my 1900s Victorian home had a thermostat that would perform this function. This is NOT a smart thermostat in the sense that it cannot run the house fan unless the A/C or heat is activated.
I understand that the Google Support thread says the fan can run with a dedicated green wire, but the thread also says that for the fan to run, the thermostat must be set to Heat, Cool, or Heat/Cool. It needs to be able to run independently of these settings.
