Genius freaking Genius TY 👍 ⚠️ Remove all weapons you may have in your home before purchasing and attempting to use these NEST thermostats as it will make you lose your sanity ...😡 And I kinda like those old white box's as UP or Down is all thats needed, plus all the other items in your home won't get broken & most importantly nobody gets seriously hurt.😅 12 other videos claiming similar results yet ONLY you got EVERY step making it 💯 👏
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.
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!
Question, did you have it set at a lower temperature and when you got home it was still set that way but the temp was showing 85? I hope that makes sense.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me.... I live in TX... I had it set to 81, which is plenty hot and very energy smart. I got home... the house was HOT... I checked to see the actual temperature....it was 85 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to show how to set the temperatures at the end of the video.. Even though whoever has this thermostat probably already knows but I'll mention it anyway. Basically after doing the steps in the video, you will only need to switch the thermostat to heat or cool mode and after that, you only need to spin the dial to control the temperature and there is no need to even press on it for anything else. And you can also still control your thermostat remotely (from your phone) if you have it connected to your wi-fi. Changing the settings I showed will not disable that feature.
I did everything on the video then set me temp... If I’m home all works fine but if I’m at work I come home to a cold house and have to set the temp again ??? Why won’t it stay where I set it?
Is there a way to not have to switch it to "heat" or "cool" and just leave it in "auto" mode? This would be for a person who just wants to set the temp and not worry about the "mode"
I just bought a new house with a nest and simply wanted the thermostat to stay where I set it. Thank you! I would never have figured it out without your video.
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!
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!
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
Brother, thanks so much for getting right to the point and not wasting minutes of my life with nonsense. This took me as long s it took me to watch the video. Amazing!
This video was handy for two people that don’t know how to work a thermostat nest and we both got it. Thank you so much for your help more videos to see the new future.👍💪
Just came back to say thanks again. I used this video about a year or two ago to fix the nest upstairs before I smashed it against the pavement. Now I'm using this to fix the settings on the one in the basement.
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.
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.
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!
I’m on vacation in the desert & the VRBO house has the Nest. I too almost took a hammer to it until this video. Thank you! You just saved my family vacation.
Thank YOU! Nest looks great, kids love turning the dial, and I like how easy it was to set up on my phone, but I hated its "smart" features. One day it decided "eco" meant 84 degrees. It took hours to get back to 76 that day.
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!
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.
Thank you sooo much!!! You are the best. I've been waking up in the middle of the night 2 and 3 times just to set the temperature back to were I wanted it. God Bless you!!!
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!
Thankyou for this video! And its a relief to read these comments knowing I'm not the only one out there frustrated with the Nest. Like others here, I would have never figured this out.
FINALLY!!! My last newly installed unit came with a Nest, and I asked them to turn all that junk off. They said they did, but I was STILL fighting with this thing for the past 2-3 YEARS!! Thanks so much for the video! Now I hope I did everything right and I'm not blaming my mother anymore for changing the temp.
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 YOU!!!!!!
Either NEST hasn't figured this out or they're not telling. In my eyes you are a god and I bow down to you, LOL! Has been working with no glitches for months. Thanks so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEOS. I’ve spent too many weeks wondering what I was doing wrong that I couldn’t figure out how to use this. The apartment I moved into had this already installed so I was kinda stuck with it and had no idea that the whole thing was supposed to be autonomous. If I set it to 70 it would be at 70 for 10 mins then the air just shut off and it would go back to being freezing. I don’t think the company understands how many people just want ONE STABLE TEMPERATURE throughout the day and night
Thank you so much. This friggin’ thing was driving me crazy with it’s “smart” auto-adjustments to the house temperature. Love the WiFi remote capabilities. Hate the learning auto-temp feature. Also, considering it’s supposed to to be so “smart”, is always wrong when it estimates how long it takes to reach a certain temperature.
@@rickrosenbloom9605 Yes, the wi-if remote still works. I use the Nest I-phone app often. That being said, my first Nest unit developed a bad wireless chip not long after installation. I did troubleshooting and determined that the wi-if function had failed. Google sent me a free replacement. It hadn’t been installed very long before the cooling function on it failed. It would heat, but no A/C. So, I paid for a third Nest (I swore if it failed I wouldn’t be buying another), and it has worked great, wi-fi Nest app and all.
I can not thank you enough for this super clear and easy to follow tutorial!! I just moved into a new home and I thought I was going crazy with everything you explained in the video from that guy. I’m so glad I’m not the only who was frustrated. I would have never in 1 million years been able to figure this thing out by myself so thank you so much!!
HUGE THANKS! This is exactly what I wanted. The Nest thermostat is beyond geeky, and I loath the idea of a bit of tech thinking it knows what I want especially when my needs are so varied every day. I simply want the heat on or off at the temperature I set, and your video finally shows me in straightforward steps how to achieve this. Brilliant!
Hey Jay.....you 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!! 😊
Another big THANK YOU! 95 outside, thermostat set to 77 but 80 inside, with “65 minutes to go”!? Followed easy directions and can actually feel some cool air now.❤
Utterly thrilled to have solved this nest issue which was driving us crazy. One serious consequence was losing sleep because thermostat changed settings in the middle of the night without warning, causing us to wake up. Also a huge amount of time wasted trying to change the settings to no avail. I don't know why Nest can't make it simple to switch to manual with just one click. Thank you so much for posting this!
100% agree! I’ve lost so much sleep (and therefore, much productivity during my days) due to random drastically increased temps throughout the night which lead to miserable sleeping conditions! I’d set the entire weekly temp schedule only to wake up and see that it was not at the scheduled temp & that at different hours of the night it was 77-78 degrees! When you live in very hot climate and it’s summer this doesn’t make for a happy morning🥵
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!!!
and you saved the day for me!! You are my hero :) I want to turn the furnace down at night and not have to worry about waking up in a sweat just because Ms. Nest thought it was too cold!! I've felt like she was fighting me every inch of every day--thank you for shedding the light on MANUAL CONTROL!!
The premise of the Nest is insane: settings based on people’s schedules. When WEATHER is the whole reason for HVAC systems. The schedule-based system is the reason everyone is freezing in their office buildings. Thank you for your excellent video!
Here's what's crazy: Mine used to do a great job of seeing what the outside temp was, and adjusting between what I had set. I have never, ever, set my temp to 78F. Yet, last year, Google made some change and after over 3 years with this thing it started boiling me like a lobster. Someone at Google screwed this up and refuses to admit it. Hilarious.
Just made my NEST thermo manual thanks to you! This NEST thermo is based on intuitive learning, so it tries to mirror temperature settings according to user behavior (algorhythms = set of rules). Problem is, user behavior varies greatly. Additionally changes in weather conditions don't seem to be accounted for. I think this thermostat had a hard time keeping up...!
Everything your customer complained about was totally legit! Nothing like coming home to a house that is only 17°C in the winter after being at my mom’s house for a couple of days!! This thermostat is Satin!!! Thanks for this video! Huge life saver for me and the Nest!!
Outstanding instructions on going to manual mode on the Nest controller. You have a new subscriber now because you my friend are a good 🇺🇸 American who shares freely. Thank you so much.
When i saw all the steps I was sure it would not work with the NEST i have. But it did!!! We moved in here where there was an existing NEST and it had a mind of its own. Finally, when it said it was heating, there was room temperature air coming of out the system - even though it said it was heating. Now, all fixed!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! My rental property has a Nest thermostat (was already there when I purchased the property) and it’s so much easier to use the thermostat manually - especially since tenants come and go and not everyone has the same preferences/schedules. This video saved me from so many future headaches! Thank you again!!!
I did not know that this thermostat had the capability to operate as a manual thermostat. Very good to know that the setting can be changed if desired by homeowner.
You are a genius! My Nest was running the AC even when it said it wasn't running it. I followed each of these steps and now it is finally turned off. I can't imagine what my bill is going to be. Maybe Google will pay for it! Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you for helping me with my frustration when the house is 60F and it won't let you change the temp for 1.5 hours. Couldn't get out of eco mode. You are the best.
Bless you!!! Thank you!! We were setting it to a cool 68/69 going to bed and waking up with it going to auto schedule around 75! Thank you for posting! This was so helpful.
Excellent video, I tried to remember the steps but had to watch again to get it right. Well done, I will save this video for the day my Nest tries to get "smart" again.
Thanks for the video this is the 2nd time i referenced to it. People you may want to do this every 6 months or so. Ive noticed that the smart features seem to magically reset themselves so i would recommend to redo these steps every 6 months. Glad for the video i was ready to take the hammer to the NEST.
May God bless you! I purchased one of these for my grandparents and it felt like the worst purchase ever! Its been driving them crazy and they refused to pay for a technician to come out. So glad I finally decided to jump on YT and found this video! You have NO IDEA how grateful we are ❤️
Dude this advice is fantastic. The nest thermostat is too fiddly and does it’s own thing too much, and the WiFi breaks in the unit! We rent, and the nest was heating our house to 78 and reading 72. And it was cold right before bed, and crazy hot at midnight. You’re a lifesaver.
2 years after you made this, my new AC unit came with a NEST thermostat, and I absolutely hate it! Same complaints as your customer! Thanks so much for this video!
Thankyou. Should have searched for this long ago. Tired of waking up freezing or too hot. .. This video was clear and easy .. i just went out to shovel the driveway and the heat temperature remained the same when i came in .. thankyou again
Incredible, thanks! And I understand technology but for some reason even though I set it and wanted to go manual at times when temps changed drastically, it never seemed to reach the manual temps I set. So, this was a blessing on a 90 + degree night!!! Thanks, appreciate you!
Thanks a million, your instructions work like a charm. I watched quite a few & did not work. I’m this close to smack this nest & run to Lowe’s to get something new with better options. Thank you, thank you.
THANK YOU!!! My son in law found your video as we wanted it to keep the temp i set it to. And for it to NOT TRY TO ANTICIPATE what we want/need. Nest would do themselves a favor to have a button to switch to manual if we want when we install or decide that is what we want at a later date which will override everything else.
If this works it will literally be a life savor. Our nest thermostat has been a menace here in Texas. It's 109 outside and the thermostat switches to 80+ degrees in the house then when you turn it down, it takes almost an hour running to get the house cooled back down. It's not saving any electricity at all and has made our home unbearable at times. Thank you for your video!
@@joannestoloff9407 unfortunately no, you have to change the settings on the device from what I understand. Mine has been great ever since we did this.
Your a life saver!!! I was about to rip mine off the wall!! Lol Its 6 degrees by me and my heat kept shutting off on its own and my house was freezing. With your help my home is nice and toasty again!!!
Thank you so much! This was literally driving my husband and I crazy! Waking up in the middle of the night to the heater running with your throat dry isn’t fun! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for this video. It takes a degree in computer science to operate this thing, I have hated it since my HVAC guy installed it years ago.
Wow! Went from zero to hero with this GREAT how-to video. His comment "unfortunately Nest does not make this easy" is right on the money (money that is that I was just about to pay our HVAC guy, but kept in my own pocket). I simply wrote down his step-by-step instructions and followed them to a "new" totally manual Nest. Very many thanks.
Dear goodness THANK YOU!! I am in the very same position as your client; the home already came with Nest thermostat which I can’t stand; instead of a smart thermostat, I just want a standard dummy thermostat that does one job it has properly - keep the temperature I set it to! I was ready to rip this thing out of the wall (I’d much rather have an ugly thermostat that works over something that works _too_ well that it doesn’t) but you saved my sanity. Thank you!!
Thank you, thank you, the manual didn't mention any of this and without applying all of these steps it just continued to act like it was possessed. My wife and I were tearing our hair out. I kept telling her I told it not to do that, but it keeps doing that. We were at the point of having the thermostat replaced too.
VERY VERY HELPFUL!!!! This has been driving us crazy! Nest is beyond complicated - I would prefer a simple on/off thermostat - did not need or want all these features but got stuck with them when new heater was installed a couple of years ago. This has taken too much time and attention to figure out - it's not a "smart" device for us at all! You are GREAT for posting this video. And now we HAVE a simple manual thermostat. NEST should pay you for helping its customers!
My daughter bought a home with this wretched thing installed. There seemed to be no way to actually control this hyper, over- engineered curse on the home. Next time I visit her we can finally wipe it's over controlling brain so she can get some rest. God Bless you for the help! Sincerely, Bob S, Maj Ret, Canada...
Thank you Jay. I have been searching a solution for this issue since last almost 2 years. Nest AI is absolutely ridiculous and off the mark. I have lost literally 1000s of dollars in increased electricity bills because of this ridiculous autosense feature. I wanted full manual control over my thermostat and thanks to you, I have achieved it today. I wish I should have found you much sooner. I have liked your video, subscribed to your channel and set notifications to 'All', at least that much I can do for this money saving advice which you have given here. Cheers.
OMGGGG. Winter in utah and this thing definitely has a mind of its own. Woke up to 55 degrees and couldn't get it to heat up NOW. Plus we have neighbors below (one thermostat) asking us to turn the heat up, and we're like "uhhhh we're trying!" Thank you so much man! Seriously! Coldest morning of my life.

Nothing like going to bed nice and cool and then waking up sweating. Thank you, I almost used the nest as a hockey puck.
For me it’s like going to bed nice and warm and wake up freezing lol
😂😂😂
This comment is so true it scares me and cracks me up he knows😭😭
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.

Should the unit be off when doing this, or can it be running when following these steps?

If I’m home all works fine but if I’m at work I come home to a cold house and have to set the temp again ??? Why won’t it stay where I set it?
Did all the steps and the whole thing stopped working. It says Heating for a long time and nothing comes out of the vents.... advice ?
Is there a way to not have to switch it to "heat" or "cool" and just leave it in "auto" mode? This would be for a person who just wants to set the temp and not worry about the "mode"
Awesome thank you.
I just bought a new house with a nest and simply wanted the thermostat to stay where I set it. Thank you! I would never have figured it out without your video.
You described well why we hated the NESTs!! Thank you for working through all the settings to make it manual!! AWESOME WORK!

I look like the hero!
Without your clip...there is no way I could have done it.
Thank You!
Agreed. Same here without this video it’s impossible to
90 + weather for 4 days and Nest was not cooling the house. So glad i stumbled upon your video.
Thank you so much
Finally!!!! I rent and was not given access to the Nest app. This thing has been driving me crazy! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, you saved me! I’m in Missouri with zero temperatures and the nest was taking control and not in a good way!
Brilliant. 100% accurate. And your customer who hates the nest has some very good reasons to do so. Thanks so much for this video
I can't stand the pos.. lol
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.

Thank you sooo much!!! You are the best. I've been waking up in the middle of the night 2 and 3 times just to set the temperature back to were I wanted it. God Bless you!!!
Loved this video which rescued me from cursing the Nest thermometer all the time. Thanks a million!
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!
Thank you so much for this. I’ve use this video twice in the last eight months for my Airbnb nest thermostat.

They probably can't imagine that anybody could possibly hate some of their features.
I just moved into a house with a nest thermostat. I found your video to be informative and helpful. Thank you so much for putting it together.

Worked like a charm, no more watching the temp jump around. Thank you for your time in posting this video.

Followed easy directions and can actually feel some cool air now.❤
Utterly thrilled to have solved this nest issue which was driving us crazy. One serious consequence was losing sleep because thermostat changed settings in the middle of the night without warning, causing us to wake up. Also a huge amount of time wasted trying to change the settings to no avail. I don't know why Nest can't make it simple to switch to manual with just one click. Thank you so much for posting this!
Because the device is designed for Google's convenience, not for ours. That's what so many people don't understand.
In manual mode can you still create manual schedules?
Just use the app
100% agree! I’ve lost so much sleep (and therefore, much productivity during my days) due to random drastically increased temps throughout the night which lead to miserable sleeping conditions! I’d set the entire weekly temp schedule only to wake up and see that it was not at the scheduled temp & that at different hours of the night it was 77-78 degrees! When you live in very hot climate and it’s summer this doesn’t make for a happy morning🥵
Totally agree! It was affecting my sleep when it would stop cooling at 4am. By 5am it would get 3 degrees hotter. It was severely affecting my sleep.
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!!!
As someone with an irregular schedule, this thing could never get it right. Thank you!
OMG Thank you so much. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown!!!
Thank you, thank you thank you! This Nest thing was driving me crazy! Your video made life worth living again!
and you saved the day for me!! You are my hero :) I want to turn the furnace down at night and not have to worry about waking up in a sweat just because Ms. Nest thought it was too cold!! I've felt like she was fighting me every inch of every day--thank you for shedding the light on MANUAL CONTROL!!
The premise of the Nest is insane: settings based on people’s schedules. When WEATHER is the whole reason for HVAC systems. The schedule-based system is the reason everyone is freezing in their office buildings. Thank you for your excellent video!
Here's what's crazy: Mine used to do a great job of seeing what the outside temp was, and adjusting between what I had set. I have never, ever, set my temp to 78F. Yet, last year, Google made some change and after over 3 years with this thing it started boiling me like a lobster. Someone at Google screwed this up and refuses to admit it. Hilarious.
I was almost in tears because my new house was freezing and I couldn't get this thing to work. Thank you so much!
Just made my NEST thermo manual thanks to you! This NEST thermo is based on intuitive learning, so it tries to mirror temperature settings according to user behavior (algorhythms = set of rules). Problem is, user behavior varies greatly. Additionally changes in weather conditions don't seem to be accounted for. I think this thermostat had a hard time keeping up...!
Thanks for the info brother. Our Nest thermostat was all over the place and was really annoying. You saved me some dough.
I love you! Just got new a/c units with Nest thermostats, and I was pulling my hair out to set them! Thank you, you have saved me from going bald!!
Everything your customer complained about was totally legit! Nothing like coming home to a house that is only 17°C in the winter after being at my mom’s house for a couple of days!! This thermostat is Satin!!! Thanks for this video! Huge life saver for me and the Nest!!
That's a soft thermostat....
Omg I wish I had watched this last night. First night in my new home and I couldn’t sleep because I was freezing! THANK YOU!!!
Outstanding instructions on going to manual mode on the Nest controller. You have a new subscriber now because you my friend are a good 🇺🇸 American who shares freely. Thank you so much.
When i saw all the steps I was sure it would not work with the NEST i have. But it did!!! We moved in here where there was an existing NEST and it had a mind of its own. Finally, when it said it was heating, there was room temperature air coming of out the system - even though it said it was heating. Now, all fixed!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! My rental property has a Nest thermostat (was already there when I purchased the property) and it’s so much easier to use the thermostat manually - especially since tenants come and go and not everyone has the same preferences/schedules. This video saved me from so many future headaches! Thank you again!!!
I did not know that this thermostat had the capability to operate as a manual thermostat.
Very good to know that the setting can be changed if desired by homeowner.
Yeah! It's useful for the occasional homeowners that are like the guy I described in the beginning of the video :)
You've made life so much better!!! Thank you for easy to follow and implement instructions. Rose and Tim
You are a genius! My Nest was running the AC even when it said it wasn't running it. I followed each of these steps and now it is finally turned off. I can't imagine what my bill is going to be. Maybe Google will pay for it! Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you for helping me with my frustration when the house is 60F and it won't let you change the temp for 1.5 hours. Couldn't get out of eco mode. You are the best.
Bless you!!! Thank you!! We were setting it to a cool 68/69 going to bed and waking up with it going to auto schedule around 75! Thank you for posting! This was so helpful.
Excellent video, I tried to remember the steps but had to watch again to get it right. Well done, I will save this video for the day my Nest tries to get "smart" again.
Finally, a straightforward instructional video. Thank you! Just know that if you lose power you’ll need to do this again.
I just figured that out you're so right, danm thing had mom's freezing again...
Thanks for the video this is the 2nd time i referenced to it. People you may want to do this every 6 months or so. Ive noticed that the smart features seem to magically reset themselves so i would recommend to redo these steps every 6 months. Glad for the video i was ready to take the hammer to the NEST.
You're a genius! Thank you. I never would have figured that out. Worked perfectly.
We have been trying to figure this out by ourselves.... You made it so easy! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
May God bless you! I purchased one of these for my grandparents and it felt like the worst purchase ever! Its been driving them crazy and they refused to pay for a technician to come out. So glad I finally decided to jump on YT and found this video! You have NO IDEA how grateful we are ❤️
Yep. Same experience for me too. I found the original thermostat in the garage cupboard and I am going to get it changed back!
Me too. Just bought the house and hate anything "smart".
Thank you, thank you, thank you......I was about to rip the sticking thing off the wall. You are literally a lifesaver!
Dude this advice is fantastic. The nest thermostat is too fiddly and does it’s own thing too much, and the WiFi breaks in the unit! We rent, and the nest was heating our house to 78 and reading 72. And it was cold right before bed, and crazy hot at midnight. You’re a lifesaver.
Simple and straight to the point thank you!🙏
2 years after you made this, my new AC unit came with a NEST thermostat, and I absolutely hate it! Same complaints as your customer! Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks. This finally got me out of that crazy thermostat he’ll.
Thankyou. Should have searched for this long ago. Tired of waking up freezing or too hot. .. This video was clear and easy .. i just went out to shovel the driveway and the heat temperature remained the same when i came in .. thankyou again
Incredible, thanks! And I understand technology but for some reason even though I set it and wanted to go manual at times when temps changed drastically, it never seemed to reach the manual temps I set. So, this was a blessing on a 90 + degree night!!! Thanks, appreciate you!
Thanks a million, your instructions work like a charm. I watched quite a few & did not work. I’m this close to smack this nest & run to Lowe’s to get something new with better options. Thank you, thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I kept wanting to set my thermostat to 73 but it kept going down to 69. My power bill has been insane!
Thank you! I found this video so helpful I got tired of my Nest controlling me instead of me being able to control my nest thanks again!
THANK YOU SO Much - Google should be ashamed they do not provide this information or any instructions with this device
AWESOME HELP !!!
THE WORLD
NEEDS MORE
GOOD, SMART
PEOPLE

YOU,
SIR.
THANK YOU!!! My son in law found your video as we wanted it to keep the temp i set it to. And for it to NOT TRY TO ANTICIPATE what we want/need. Nest would do themselves a favor to have a button to switch to manual if we want when we install or decide that is what we want at a later date which will override everything else.
If this works it will literally be a life savor. Our nest thermostat has been a menace here in Texas. It's 109 outside and the thermostat switches to 80+ degrees in the house then when you turn it down, it takes almost an hour running to get the house cooled back down. It's not saving any electricity at all and has made our home unbearable at times. Thank you for your video!
I'm not at the property. Can I do this from my phone
@@joannestoloff9407 unfortunately no, you have to change the settings on the device from what I understand. Mine has been great ever since we did this.
Your a life saver!!! I was about to rip mine off the wall!! Lol Its 6 degrees by me and my heat kept shutting off on its own and my house was freezing. With your help my home is nice and toasty again!!!
Thank you so much! This was literally driving my husband and I crazy! Waking up in the middle of the night to the heater running with your throat dry isn’t fun! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for this video. It takes a degree in computer science to operate this thing, I have hated it since my HVAC guy installed it years ago.
THANK YOU!! You have saved my sanity....
Wow! Went from zero to hero with this GREAT how-to video. His comment "unfortunately Nest does not make this easy" is right on the money (money that is that I was just about to pay our HVAC guy, but kept in my own pocket). I simply wrote down his step-by-step instructions and followed them to a "new" totally manual Nest. Very many thanks.
Dear goodness THANK YOU!! I am in the very same position as your client; the home already came with Nest thermostat which I can’t stand; instead of a smart thermostat, I just want a standard dummy thermostat that does one job it has properly - keep the temperature I set it to!
I was ready to rip this thing out of the wall (I’d much rather have an ugly thermostat that works over something that works _too_ well that it doesn’t) but you saved my sanity. Thank you!!
Thank you!! My Mom was so sick of her nest. This is a massive help!!
Thank you, thank you, the manual didn't mention any of this and without applying all of these steps it just continued to act like it was possessed. My wife and I were tearing our hair out. I kept telling her I told it not to do that, but it keeps doing that. We were at the point of having the thermostat replaced too.
Bless you, bless you! This thing turned off the air during a hear wave and refuses to let me turn it back on.
Same thanks so much
VERY VERY HELPFUL!!!! This has been driving us crazy! Nest is beyond complicated - I would prefer a simple on/off thermostat - did not need or want all these features but got stuck with them when new heater was installed a couple of years ago. This has taken too much time and attention to figure out - it's not a "smart" device for us at all! You are GREAT for posting this video. And now we HAVE a simple manual thermostat. NEST should pay you for helping its customers!
My daughter bought a home with this wretched thing installed. There seemed to be no way to actually control this hyper, over- engineered curse on the home. Next time I visit her we can finally wipe it's over controlling brain so she can get some rest. God Bless you for the help! Sincerely, Bob S, Maj Ret, Canada...
Thank you Jay. I have been searching a solution for this issue since last almost 2 years. Nest AI is absolutely ridiculous and off the mark. I have lost literally 1000s of dollars in increased electricity bills because of this ridiculous autosense feature. I wanted full manual control over my thermostat and thanks to you, I have achieved it today. I wish I should have found you much sooner. I have liked your video, subscribed to your channel and set notifications to 'All', at least that much I can do for this money saving advice which you have given here. Cheers.
OMGGGG. Winter in utah and this thing definitely has a mind of its own. Woke up to 55 degrees and couldn't get it to heat up NOW. Plus we have neighbors below (one thermostat) asking us to turn the heat up, and we're like "uhhhh we're trying!" Thank you so much man! Seriously! Coldest morning of my life.
