Questions, questions, questions Nest Learning Thermostat

Well - I note that not many quations are responded to in here - but, here goes

New Nest Learning Thermostat,
Nest learning mode, I think I understand generally how it works but, 3 things puzzle me.
Luckily I woke at 7 am the day after Install and went down and set the temperature for what I wanted - but what if I had not woken early enough, e.g. what if I wanted 18c at 6 am?
In the summer I won't want it at that temperature at 7am - other than setting an alarm and getting up earlier to change it - how can it be done?
Why does it read consistently at 1.5c above two other (accurate) temperature sensors/old thermostat which both read the same to a tenth of a degree? I have reset it a number of times with no effect.
Confused

If you have the Google Home app you can set your Nedt to temperatures you want at certain times of the day and night

Yes, thanks TinaDS  I know that - sadly that does not answer any of my questions.

You don't have to use that Learning Mode.  You can just set a schedule as you would on a less-smart programmable thermostat.  When summer comes, you can modify the schedule.

Thanks CBFox - I know that, I want to use learning mode, sadly that does not answer the questions I asked

Possibly I don't understand your question.  The Nest can "Learn" only by observing your interactions with it.  If you're not interacting with it at 6am (because you're asleep), I'm not sure how it could have been designed to learn that you want the heat to come on at 6am.  Sorry if I'm missing the point, though!

Actually, if I remember correctly, when we installed the Nest we let it "Learn" until it said it was finished.  Then we moved the little sliders to modify the learned schedule.  That's how you could get it to start heating earlier in the morning  --  let it learn 7am but then adjust to 6am after the learning period.

Or, there's also anticipatory mode.  Depending how you set that setting, you can ask for the Nest to start up the heat at 7am, or you can ask for it to start heating in time for the temperature to get up to 18 by 7am.

Ah - so if you can modify the learned schedule with the app - that sounds better. I was hoping you could set a start time and temp - without being awake at 6 am 😉

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry for the delay.

 

@CBFox, thanks for helping out. 

 

In addition to what CBFox has mentioned, the learned temperature schedule cannot be edit unless you manually set a certain temperature schedule for the whole week. That way, your thermostat can remember those changes and apply it automatically.

 

Best regards,

So, basically it's rubbish. It learns a schedule, which if you want to change early in the morning you need to get up for. Or you have a fixed schedule? You cannot edit the learned schedule. . 

Well, that's a disappointment!  As you said, @Whoosh, that's not tremendously useful.  Also I must be misremembering our experience with getting our schedule set up.

It appears youcan only edit tje set schedule, not the learned schedule 😞
