You have three available thermostat modes: Heat, Eco, and Off. Here’s what each mode does and how to manually switch between them.
Both your thermostat and system will behave differently depending on what mode your thermostat is set to.

How to switch to Eco Temperature
Switching to Eco Temperature is done much the same way as switching between heating and off modes, but there are some differences.
Things to keep in mind
-
When you manually switch to Eco, your thermostat will ignore all scheduled temperatures until you manually switch it back to heating.
-
If your thermostat automatically switched to Eco because everyone was away, it will switch back to your normal temperature schedule when someone comes home.
-
If you're using a Works with Nest third-party product, check with the maker to see if and how Eco will affect its behavior. Some Works with Nest products may switch your thermostat mode.
On the Nest thermostat:
-
Press the thermostat ring to open the Quick View menu.
-
Turn to Eco
and press to select.
-
Select Start Eco.
If your thermostat is already set to Eco, select Stop Eco and your thermostat will return to its regular heating schedule.
