Nest Thermostat schedule

[VicL]

• I just bought and installed a new Nest Thermostat.  Can the Nest Thermostat’s schedule program an OFF time?  How?  I only see it allows setting a Start time.

Hi @VicL,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I see that you have some questions about whether your Nest Thermostat can be set to "off" for schedules, as you're only seeing the "start time" option. I can definitely help with this!

Before we move forward, could you share a few details:

• What type of thermostat do you have? 
• What app are you using?

Once you have that information, I'll be more than happy to provide assistance.

Best regards,

Debora

I think I figured out what to do- if I’m correct, you can’t program an OFF time.  Instead I programmed temperature to be 77F at 11am and 90F at 11pm.  This is for a cafe where I don’t want the staff to ever have to touch the thermostat.  Is this correct?  I have a new Google Nest Thermostat (not the learning one).

Hi @VicL,

Yes, you're right! The schedules don't have an option to turn them off at a specific time, but the workaround you found is the correct way to work with a Nest Thermostat. I'm happy to know that you figured it out! Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. I would be happy to.

Best regards,

Debora
