Hi FLovett04,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you're looking to set a lock code on your Nest Thermostat Pro edition and are having difficulties finding the "Lock" option in the settings menu, which is inconvenient since this was a key reason for your purchase. I can definitely help you with this!

Based on your description, it sounds like you have a Nest Thermostat (2020). The locking feature with a passcode is only available on the Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E. This is why the 'Lock' option isn't in your menu. For more information, you can check out this article: Lock and unlock your Nest thermostat.

For the Nest Thermostat (2020), a great alternative is the Hold temperature feature. This will maintain the temperature you set until you manually turn it off, which can help prevent others from changing your settings. You can control this directly on the thermostat or through the Google Home app. For reference, see this article: Hold the temperature on your thermostat.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Jenniffer
