Installing a Nest learning thermostat in the summer was ... illuminating.
Turns out they only learn for the first few weeks. After three calls with tech support, we reset it enough times that it learned how to turn on the heat by 11am on weekdays.
Perhaps someday someone will have the patience to try and get auto-learning working on the weekends too.
I’ve used three nests for about 10 years. Their “learning” is ridiculous and has never been helpful. Every once in a while, they will completely rewrite my schedule to something stupid. It’s weird how wrong they are- setting to temps I’ve never set, setting at times I never want.
I gave up and just have Alexa do time based automations to set temperatures. At least until google kills the nest api.
I always found it funny how google’s “AI” is so stupid when it comes to user satisfaction instead of making them money.
