Where do I find scheduled tasks

I often set lights to come on at a specific time, but later need or want to change that time. I cannot figure out where to find that command or how to modify it.  Example the other day I set lights to come on at 1145pm, but got home around 10pm. I turned on the lights at time. And turned them off to go to bed, the lights turned on at 1145pm because nothing worked on getting the device to acknowledge a cancelation of the 1145pm command.

Okay, that isn't working. So let me explain differently. I am leaving and think I will be home at 11pm. So I tell the nest to turn on lights at that time. But I get home way before that time, and don't turn on any lights. How do I prevent the earlier command of turn lights on at 11pm, so that they don't come on.

Hi there,

 

Understood. You can try the command, “Turn off alarm at 11:00 PM” . You can also check it using the Google Home app. See the steps below:

 

  1.  Make sure the mobile device is linked to the same account as the Google Nest or Home device.
  2. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  3.  Tap Favorites or Devices and then Select a speaker or display.
  4. At the top-right, tap Settings and then Audio and then Alarms and Timers.
  5. Click  next to the alarm to remove it.

Thanks,

Juni
