Nest Thermostat Scheduled/Manual operation?

Is it possible to suspend scheduled operation of a thermostat and switch to manual? The only way I can see to do this is to delete the schedule, but then I have to reconstruct the schedule to return to scheduled operation. I.m looking for a Manual/Schedule switch in heat mode.

well Jake… I brought this to one of your chat helpers, and it seems there is no way to do this. So I’m making a suggestion for your software developers - allow the user to create, name and save different schedules eg winter, spring/autumn etc. And to use these as required, as well as to have no schedule in heat mode - ie fully manual control, if desired. This would be of benefit I’m sure to those of us who live at latitudes where there is a big difference in day length between winter and summer.

My other suggestion, made to you already in a separate post, is to develop your Alexa nest thermostat skill to allow voice to control switch on/off water heating. 

I believe both these suggestions would enhance the utility of the nest thermostat.

Using the google nest alexa skill, I can command nest to increase or decrease thermostat set temperature. But I can't find a command for alexa to turn on or off the water heating. Is this capability not present in the skill?

Hi Jake. The issue still exists. I can’t voice-command water heating on nest thermostat, via Alexa.
