Nest thermostats can learn your daily routine and automatically create a temperature schedule for you. If you prefer to disable learning and have your thermostat follow a fixed temperature schedule, you can turn off your thermostat’s learning features. The schedule won't change unless you make manual changes to it.
Different Nest thermostat models give you different options for setting up a temperature schedule that meets your needs:
- Smart Schedule (Nest Learning Thermostat 4th gen only)
- Auto Schedule (Nest Thermostat E and Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd gen or earlier only)
- Basic Schedule (Nest Thermostat E only)
- Quick schedule (Nest Thermostat only)
Learn about Nest thermostat temperature schedules and how to change them
When Auto-Schedule or Smart Schedule is turned on, Nest Thermostat E and Nest Learning Thermostat learn from the adjustments you make to optimize your schedule. You can manually edit the existing schedule, create an entirely new one, or turn off these learning features.
Note: Nest thermostats can change temperatures automatically with Home and Away routines or Home/Away Assist. You’ll need to disable this setting to prevent automatic temperature adjustments and use your thermostat like a traditional thermostat.
