Welcome to Your Nest Learning Thermostat
The Nest Learning Thermostat is a digital thermostat that can be controlled remotely and is designed to learn your temperature preferences to create an automatic heating and cooling schedule. It features Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to adjust settings from their phone, tablet, or laptop via the free Nest app or website. The device’s display changes color to indicate cooling (blue) or heating (orange), and the outer ring is used for manual navigation through the menu.
Key Features:
The thermostat allows for manual or automatic switching between heating and cooling modes, and provides an Energy History view that shows energy usage over the past ten days. It shows the current temperature in your home and the target temperature you’re aiming to reach. An indicative Nest Leaf symbol appears when you’re saving energy, and you can also set the device to Away mode to conserve energy while you’re not home.
The sensor window on the device captures data from the temperature, humidity, light, and activity sensors to inform your thermostat’s settings, and you can choose additional options like Thermostat Lock and Fan Control in the Settings.
Privacy and Support:
Nest emphasizes user privacy and provides an online resource for users to learn more about their privacy policies. Comprehensive support for setup, troubleshooting, and other inquiries can be found on their website.
Installation and Use:
System Match technology customizes features during setup to match your specific system needs. Users are encouraged to manually adjust temperatures for the first few days to teach the thermostat their preferences, which will later be automatically scheduled by the Auto-Schedule feature.
The thermostat learns new temperature schedules with changing seasons, automatically switching from heating to cooling or vice versa. Manual adjustments, like setting Away mode when on vacation, contribute to energy savings. Altering the temperature by just one degree can impact energy use by up to 5%.
Energy Saving and Control:
Energy saving is further enhanced with features like Auto-Away and Airwave. Auto-Away senses when the home is vacant and adjusts the temperature to conserve energy. Airwave, specially designed for air conditioning, reduces AC operation while maintaining comfort levels when humidity is not high. For homes with both heating and cooling, the Heat & Cool mode establishes a temperature range that automatically selects between heating and cooling.
Users receive a Home Report email each month packed with energy usage statistics and conservation tips, reinforcing the smart and sustainable use of the Nest Learning Thermostat. With extensive customization and control, the Nest thermostat is designed to create a comfortable and energy-efficient environment in your home.
