How to turn off learning on the Nest Learning Thermostat

One of the main attractions of the Nest Learning Thermostat is that it’s smart enough to help you set a temperature schedule that keeps you comfortable and saves you money. It does this by automatically changing your thermostat settings to suit your needs – and while this is an incredible feature, it’s not perfect for everyone.

Luckily, if you prefer to create your own heating or cooling schedule, Nest gives you an easy way to turn off learning (called auto-schedule) and schedule to your own temperatures. Here’s a quick overview of how to turn off auto-scheduling and create your own HVAC routine.

Disabling automatic scheduling allows your manually programmed schedule to take control of the thermostat. Here’s how to turn the feature off using the Google Home app or Nest app.

Step 1: Using the Google Home app, access your Devices menu.

2nd step: Select your Nest learning thermostat.

Step 3: Access the Settings menu, then Temperature preferencesand finally Automatic programming.

Step 4: Select Disabled to turn off automatic scheduling.

Step 5: Using the Nest app, simply find your thermostat and immerse yourself in its Settings menu.

Step 6: You will then see a toggle for Automatic scheduling. Slide it to the off position to turn it off.

Step 7: You can also deactivate automatic programming directly on your thermostat by selecting Settings, Sense of the nestthen turn off automatic scheduling.

Implementation of a new heating and air conditioning program

When automatic scheduling is turned off, your Nest Learning Thermostat will now follow your manually scheduled schedule. This means you need to make sure your current schedule is one you still want to follow – and if you don’t have a scheduled schedule, now is the time to create one. This can be done through the Nest mobile app or Google Home, although it may be easier to change it directly on the device. Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Open the programming screen on your thermostat. This can be found on the Quick view menu.

2nd step: From there, you can easily change your temperature settings or program a new one.

Step 3: Keep in mind that Home or Away programs can still intervene and change your manually programmed programs, so consider taking this time to check what happens to your system when you activate one of these modes.

Step 4: If you turn off automatic scheduling and don’t set a manual schedule, your thermostat will simply keep your home at the current temperature until you change it.

Most people will find auto-scheduling to be a nice feature, so we recommend leaving it turned on. But if that doesn’t meet your expectations, there’s nothing stopping you from creating your own routines.
