How to Make Nest Thermostat Manual

How to change the settings on a Nest thermostat so that it becomes a manual thermostat and will hold a set temperature. Unlike most other thermostats, the Nest thermostat does not have a HOLD button or a hold feature so one needs to play around with the settings to be able to accomplish that which used to be done with the press of a single button on the old thermostat... In this video I show you step by step what you need to change in the settings to get this done.

Thank you. I honestly hate this Nest Thermostat. I hate it with a passion but it came with the house.

I was so frustrated waking up to 62 degrees when I have the NEST thermostat set to 70 degrees. Thank you for allowing me to keep a consistent 70 degrees all the time.

My mom who is 81 years old...A1 Air installed two new system for her...gave her two new Nest thermostats...she called me up and ask if I can get the company to come back out and put the old thermostat back...I watch a few videos...saw Word of Advice clip...reset her Nest to the old manual style...she couldn't be more happy.
I look like the hero!
Without your clip...there is no way I could have done it.
Thank You!

If I wasn’t already married, I’d be trying to find you! What a lifesaver! There is nothing intuitive about this product. We kept waking up burning up, only to find our thermostat had moved the heat setting to EIGHTY degrees! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[JMRogan]

Brilliant. 100% accurate. And your customer who hates the nest has some very good reasons to do so. Thanks so much for this video

[jmosley]

90 + weather for 4 days and Nest was not cooling the house. So glad i stumbled upon your video.
Thank you so much

Wow, this was exactly what I needed. I called the company who installed the nest thermostat to ask them to walk me through turning off all the smart settings and they wanted to charge me to send someone out to adjust the settings. You saved me a bunch of money walking me through it on YouTube, thank you!!

[gregwinfree]

This video is a lifesaver! We came back to our home to find it at 85 degrees because the Nest has a mind of its own. Happy to have a nice simple, old-fashioned thermostat function again!

We are at an air b&b with a nest in Tucson, AZ. It was 118 deg outside. 80 inside. The nest was going back to the auto schedule at 80 deg. Couldn't sleep so I found your channel at 1am and fixed it. . Thank you. It's nice and cool in the air b&b now.

[blairdavis]

Finally!!!! I rent and was not given access to the Nest app. This thing has been driving me crazy! Thank you!

[malibu]

Thank u saved m u life I got new furnace and nest went nuts..I was up all night crying til I found your video..GOD BLESS YOU..I AM NOW AT EASE.WITH WORKING NEST I CAN WORK!

[jamesmann]

This video is a life saver! I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to work around the Nest not cooling my house down as I kept trying to do. But then this video pops up and walla! I now have control over my thermostat again! Beware of the smart world! Yes it's convenient in certain cases but not at the expense of controlling my temps in my house! Great work on the video and thanks again!

[MomSandee]

You are now my rock star favorite you tube helper! OMG. We are snowbirds and leave out home for 6 months of the year without wi-fi. It's Florida so we aren't worried about heat but now we can set the cool and leave without worrying! Thank you soooo much!

[melissaengdahl]

We have been trying for a full month to stop the nest at our new rental house from turning the heat off at 4am, without luck. Its such a crappy product. Thank you for bringing warmth and good sleep back to our family with your video.

[mattarambula]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just bought a house and we don’t have internet. Your video saved us from freezing inside our home. It only took a few minutes to get the thermostat to manual mode.

Hey are a life saver. I have checked online several times. But its nothing like hands on (visual). For one year in an apartment complex no one could actually explain how to work this nest to ones advantage. Like the gentleman; I also hated it. I was constantly up and down changing the temperature. It was driving me nuts. And forget about when I'm sleeping in bed. Who wants to get up in the middle of the night to change a temperature gauge or NEST thing. So I would mainly suffer with the heat. Today I said to myself, there has got to be something online Your site came up! Fantastic!! Thank you so much! I am happy after one year of misery. From the elderly . I'm looking for more of you. Thanks again!! 😊

[lafemmevocale]

God bless you for posting this! It’s 17 degrees today & I’m trying to clean out a deceased relatives house bundled up in so many layers I can’t move. YOU SAVED THE DAY FOR ME!!!! I NEVER would have figured this out on my own. THANK

[maryclark]

I love this!!!! Got a new heat pump and the new nest came with it. I fused and cussed for 2 weeks. HVAC people couldn't or wouldn't help me. I hated the nest. A co-worker said it could be reprogrammed. I googled it and found you. I reprogrammed it a week ago. IT WORKED!!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[pattyjames]

I spent $200 for the boiler to be check out. The technician said the boiler is not the problem, it’s the thermostat. I called Google they said the thermostat wasn’t installed properly. I called the electrician to check the Nest, he said it’s correctly installed and charged $50 for two minutes in my home.
The problem continues until I watch you video. I fixed in two minutes and I’m without my $250
Thank you

[crazylegs]

Nothing like going to bed nice and cool and then waking up sweating. Thank you, I almost used the nest as a hockey puck.
