- idontpost 4y agoIf you have to guess why it's making decisions you don't want, it's a shitty product.

In fact, in my previous house the Nest was provided by the utility company and they used it /exactly/ for this purpose (although were legally mandated to notify us and allow us to opt out on a daily basis) where they'd intentionally raise your temperature during the hottest part of the day to reduce energy usage. But the thing is, I work from home, and if I'm sweating out a liter of fluids while I'm trying to work, I am getting nothing done and look unpresentable on meetings to boot. In the end because most of the house was empty, I let the Nest do its thing and installed a separate mini-split AC in my office I kept set at 72 year-round because that's a sane and reasonable temperature for an office. Don't try to "nudge me into tolerating higher temps", respect my agency and choice about what is a comfortable environment for me to work in. As a side note, I will never again buy a Nest product.
