Hey Johndim97, 

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Nest Community. 

Precooling is a part of our Early On feature of our Nest thermostat. Whenever somebody is at home, your Nest thermostat can use Early-On to start heating or cooling early so that your home will reach the scheduled temperature on time. If you want to disable this feature, please follow the steps below:

With the Nest app

1. Open the Nest app and tap your thermostat.
2. Select Settings.
3. Tap Early-On.
4. Choose the following options:

• Tap the switch to enable or disable Early-On.
• Select Max Duration to limit preheating in the middle of the night and early morning. This can be useful if your system is noisy and you don’t want it to wake you up too early.

With the Home app

1. Open the Home app.
2. Touch and hold your device's tile.
3. At the top right, tap Settings  > Temperature preferences > Early-On.
4. You have two options to set:

• Turn on heating or cooling early when you’re at home.
• Turn on early when you are returning home. Home & Away presence sensing and location sharing needs to be enabled for this option to work.

I also suggest that you visit this link to know more about the said feature: https://bit.ly/33M1GnZ
