Nest 4 Thermostat Farsight option/request

Cosmicman

Hi, after using my older gen Nest for about 10 years I can't get used to the new farsight available options, I prefer the more simple elegant display of just the circle with the current and target temperature on the top corner.

I found that display look is already programmed in the device, the only way to get it is to turn off the farsight option on the app but it will show only if I physicaly press on the display.

Can the developers enable it as a farsight option?

Hi Cosmicman,


Thanks for posting here in the community. Thank you for your insights and best effort to find alternatives when improving the features in your Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen). I apologize for the issue that you are experiencing with the Farsight feature and the display. But no need to worry, help is here.

Basic checks:

Please make sure that the Farsight feature settings are correct by following these steps: 

  1. Go to Settings and then Farsight.
  2. Select Farsight face to change the current display or turn off the feature, Near screen to adjust what’s shown when you are near the thermostat, or Sensing distance to adjust when the thermostat switches to the near screen display.
