Can anyone with a Nest tell me if it's possible to turn off all the smart features and turn it into a dumb on/off switch? I really like the design but don't care for any of the complicated smart features and would much rather be able manually control it from my phone. I recall that this was not possible with reviews of the first gen Nest.
- knz 11y agoYes you can do that. The app and hardware let you set it to either heat, cool, heat/cool, or off. There are probably cheaper ways to do this (IoT hub + zwave controller?).
- josephwegner 11y agoYes, you can, very simply. Just turn off learning and don't put in any schedule.
- iijj 11y agoYes, there are individual settings to turn off the 'Sense' features like the learning-schedule, auto-away. If you literally mean using it as an on/off switch... I don't think you can do that without just cranking the temp between min and max. There is a function to run the furnace fan for X minutes, but you can't directly tell it to run the heating and AC for a period of time.
