All of Nest's learning features can be individually enabled/disabled, at least. If you don't want the automatic scheduling, you can turn it off and set the schedule yourself. You'll still benefit from the other things it does that other thermostats don't (learn when it's in direct sunlight to compensate, manage your humidity, learn how efficient your heat/air is so that it can reach scheduled temperatures at the scheduled time by turning on early, keep your office cooler with less a/c usage by running the fan a while even after the condenser shuts off). In a home, being able to turn the temperature up or down a degree with your phone when you're on a different floor than the thermostat is nice.
