Multiple Neat Thermostats Home/Away

[Palatial]

Hi. Just about to have 3 Nest Gen 3 thermostats installed.  I’m keen to understand the presence feature. My scenario is if my daughter is upstairs in her room and doesn’t walk past that floors sensor, will nest think no one is home and go into eco mode on that floor?  Or as we walk past the sensor on the ground floor, will it tell other thermostats that the house is occupied?  I’m concerned that upstairs may think we’re away and turn down. I’m trying to avoid just using it as a timed switch and want to take full advantage of the learning and presence ability. Any help greatly received

Hi Palatial,

Thanks for your interest in having Nest Thermostats.

Here are some points to your questions:

Home/Away Assist feature functions best when your home members agrees to share their phone's location in order to contribute with presence detecting. It's just monitors a person's presence at house or away; it does not track the precise position all the time. 

In addition, your phone location and sensors in your Nest thermostats can help determine whether or not someone’s home, which means these signals, working together, can help determine presence inside your home. Your thermostats will meet and maintain the target temperature in the room. If you see a green leaf in the thermostats screen that doesn't mean eco temperature, it means that your thermostat just saved energy. To know more how it works, here's the link.
 

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Mark
