How to Set Nest Sense to Manual Mode

Turning OFF the auto schedule in nestsense and making it CLOSE to a manual thermostat. About as good as it gets. Nest Sense Manual Mode How to Set Nest Sense to Manual Mode

My husband and I just followed your instructions because we want our temperature to stay at the same temperature as well especially in the summer! Thanks for the information and good luck everyone with yours.

This works! I see this video is a couple years old. But, Nest told me this exact way, and it’s been perfect ever since! I, like you, have different work schedules. I love that I can now control everything how I want manually, or through my phone when I’m away! 👍🏾

It’s much easier to go into manual mode with the app. (Perhaps this video is over one year old and people weren’t using the app back then)
You press settings, go to auto schedule and turn it off, go back to settings press the calendar and delete all the little bubbles that have been pre-scheduled. That’s it! 👍🏼

Just did this earlier this morning based on online guidance, not from NEST. Working so far.

Thanks! Very clear instructions. Nest should hire you. Actually, they need to redesign this thermo. I bought it, because I'm caring for an elderly woman and this had the temp in big #'s and seemed so easy, just turn to the temp. you want. A total mess! I set the AC and left to go some things, came home and she was sweating and close to death. I hope the co. updates the thermo., so it has an "manual mode".

Late to the nest "manual" party 😏, but THANKS FOR THIS INFO 👍👍👍! Tried this method because I was having same issue 😡😤. Will report back after observations.

Update: working for me!!

Thank you. I was waking up in the middle of the night and adjusting the Nest. I presume it believed that because there was no motion to needed to go to ECO mode, with different high & low setpoints than I had entered. There is snow outside, has been and internal temperatures in the low 40℉s do not work.

Found this post and we now like the Nest. I was getting ready to replace it with 1 year before failure thermostat. Now it maintains the set point ± 2.0℉.

Thanks for this info My wife has been complaining for about 3 weeks that the heater is broken
The house is to cold and the thermostat not working I have been trying to get the house to the right temp
But this Dam Nest has a mine of its own
Thanks you may have fixed the problem

Thank you for the video and showing us how to turn off the self learning mode.
We need to leave our home for 3 days every month and the nest would relearn what our home should be set at. Once home again it would finally have learned where we want it after a few weeks, then we leave for another 3 days. Two of us are disabled and I require life support equipment so the temps varying wildly doesn't make for easy living.

To those of you who say "just use the app"...I call bullshit. A simple firmware update to give a "manual" option would be the simplest solution.

[macmomma]

Had no problems following your directions and it totally solved my issue with wanting manual control. Thanks so much! Grandma

I just got my 2nd Nest and it keeps scheduling so I'm glad I found this video. I didn't know you had to reset the schedule. So annoying. I just wanted a thermostat that could be control via voice and phone application.

[Bphillips]

Just bought it, already looking for a different system. I would like to see who designed this drawn and quartered

[Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

WOw, I want mine to just stay at one temperature all the time. I come home and it's 63 degrees in the house. It's going to be 3 degrees out on Monday, I don't want my furnace to quit on me, haha.

Well after doing a ton of research myself I came to the same conclusion, there is no way to override the nest schedule for an extended period of time. Most times I want to use the schedule that I manually set up. But my work shift schedule occaisionally changes for short periods of time and I would like to bypass the nest schedule and run manually. But it really irritates me that the nest will not let me have that option. You can only bypass until the next scheduled change. I have a Honeywell wifi thermostate that easily allowes me to bypass schedule for as long as I need to. Looks like I will be reinstalling that.

I did this 2 days ago and it seems to have worked! The thermostat has not changed for 2 days!!!

[richardphillips]

Thank you so much! I was going bonkers. For instance the AC would automatically shut off in the middle of the night. Agree with the comment below: overengineered!
I also wonder how accurate the thermometer is. My condo gets very cold even when it is supposedly 74. I'll get my own thermometer.

[carom]

I did these steps today, but the Nest Sense feature under “Should Auto Schedule learn from your adjustments?” It won’t set to No. Every time I go back to Nest Sense, it’s still set at Yes. I want to throw this thing into a river.

[ratandjmt]

Thanks for the info OP. I updated mine this afternoon. We will see.

[robertstamers]

Thank you. This worked. I actually have control of my house temperature again!
