Use app to see temperature

DaShack

It appears IMHO that the app was designed to best serve google, not the user.  
  When I open the app I want to know the temperature in the house.  I do not need or want to know what the temperature is set at.  I want to know the current temperature.   This house is infrequently used, there is nothing to I want nest to learn.   If i plan on visiting the house, I turn up the thermostat and turn it down when I’m away.  This is NOT to much trouble for me, gives ME control (humans like control) and removes profit incentives from google.  I did not intentionally choose nest, it came with new furnace.  
  Again, I want to remotely see temperature and set temperature, nothing else, how do I turn off all the unwanted ‘features’?

It would seem a helpful upgrade to be able to choose what is shown from three options; either temperature, target or temperature/target. Hope they add it.

Hi folks, 

 

Thanks for posting, and I understand your frustration with the Nest app and your desire for a simplified experience. To disable unwanted features and focus on remote temperature viewing and control in the Nest app, you can try the following steps:

 

  1. Launch the Nest app on your mobile device.
  2. Look for a settings or menu icon within the app. It is typically represented by three horizontal lines or a gear icon.
  3. Within the settings or menu section, search for "Preferences," "Options," or a similar term that allows you to customize the app's behavior.
  4. Once you've accessed the preferences section, look for options related to additional features or settings. Disable or uncheck any features that you don't want or need, such as learning capabilities, energy-saving suggestions, or other functionalities that go beyond temperature control.
  5. After making the necessary adjustments, ensure to save the changes or exit the preferences section to apply the updated settings.
