Yes, I know - Nest thermostats are factory-calibrated, their temperature sensors are perfect, anything wrong in temperature readings is my fault, it’s not installed in the right place and so on. This said, I’ve been in this house for 35 years, the he...

It’s a pretty common setup in the cold climate around here to have a central heat pump feeding a hot air furnace with electric coils for Aux Heat - and for the heat pump to control the switch to Aux Heat below a certain temperature (typically-10C or ...

Yes - I put an offset to my heating and cooling schedules All kidding aside, no. I do believe Google has some deals with utilities to encourage energy savings, so I can understand they may be reluctant to let users calibrate the sensors.

As far as I could find, there is no user-available sensor offset control. I’ll bet there’s one in the code, but no way to tell or change it. I just live with it, I offset my program set points accordingly, and since I set the default display to outsi...

I fail to see how a router issue could impact the measured temperature. You could kill the router and the thermostat would still run - would the temp measurement change then?

It's probably the Home/Away detection. Look at the settings in the Nest app (or the Google Home app); these are general to the account, not in the thermostat settings themselves. There's a "how does Nest determine if you're home" setting, and in ther...
