Hi skipperbrown,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We appreciate you interest with thermostat time delay before 2nd stage heating starts. The Nest Thermostat does not have a user-adjustable time delay for second-stage heating or cooling. The thermostat is designed to automatically engage the second stage based on various factors such as the temperature differential and the behavior of the system. The Nest Thermostat utilizes advanced algorithms to optimize energy efficiency and provide comfortable temperatures. It continuously learns from your temperature adjustments and adapts its behavior accordingly. While it doesn't offer direct control over the time delay for second-stage activation, it aims to efficiently maintain the desired temperature by dynamically adjusting the staging based on your heating or cooling needs.
Please be assured that our product team is working non-stop with different partners to bring the best features to our Google Nest devices. So, please let our product team know about it by sending feedback.
Reach out if you have any questions in the future.
Best,
Zoe
