Thermostat - Do As You Are Told

GeeMacD
Community Member

In the last week, I've noticed that my thermostat isn't going on at the scheduled times I want it to. It seems to think I'm away from home even though I'm not or won't switch on until I'm home even though it's scheduled to heat the house from 30 mins before I get home.

 

Thought it was just me, but my bother had just told me same thing is happening to him now at his house.

 

Anyone else?

Do you have Home/Away Assist turned on?  We never use it because we found its behavior to be too inconsistent.  It's turned itself on a couple of times over the years.  When we notice the temperature isn't right, we check for Home/Away Assist and turn it back off.

In fact this issue has been well-known (to this forum) for a few months now.  See for example https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Thermostats/Home-Away-Assist-returning-home-always-stuck...  which links to a very long thread from late last year.

It's a shame that Google implements these attractive fancy features, but then doesn't ensure that they work.  The "Safety Temperature" feature, extremely valuable, is buggy as well.
