Set Nest for Home When Away

[SisterPeace]

• I travel a lot and need to keep the air conditioning on while I am away. However I cannot change the setting from Away to Home while I am away. If I don’t keep it running days, before I return it will not be cool in my apartment. Please tell me the exact steps to get the Nest app to think I am home, while I am away. Thanks.

Try these steps:

Manually switch your home to Away or Home mode - Google Nest Help

Sorry if this a repeat reply but the app has a pop up that interfere with me selecting send. 
I am grateful for your reply. I wonder if you could tell me how to keep Nest in HOME MODE? Even when I am away. I need some days for my older AC to cool down the unit before I return home. thank you.
