You can either limit the preheating time or turn Early-On off to help save energy. In some homes, Early-On may use more energy because it runs your system longer. You can change Early-On settings on your thermostat or with the Nest app. If you enable Early-On, your thermostat can begin to heat up to 5 hours before a scheduled temperature. When Early-On starts, your system varies based on factors like the weather and how long it’s taken to heat or cool your home in the past. For example, if your schedule has a target temperature of 72 ☏ (22 ☌) at 6 PM, your thermostat might start to heat or cool at 5:30 PM to get your home to 72 ☏ (22 ☌) by 6 PM.Your thermostat will start to heat or cool your home before the scheduled time, with what it has learned about your home to predict how long it takes to reach the target temperature.Time-to-Temperature shows how long it takes for your home to reach the target temperature.Īfter your thermostat has learned about your home, here’s what to expect when Early-On is enabled: Your home may not reach 72 ☏ (22 ☌) until much later than 6 PM. For example, if your schedule has a target temperature of 72 ☏ (22 ☌) at 6 PM, your thermostat will start to heat or cool at 6 PM.Your thermostat will start to heat or cool your home at the scheduled time.If your thermostat is still learning about your home or if you disable Early-On, here’s what to expect: Once your thermostat is done learning, it can start to preheat and pre-cool according to your Early-On settings. During this period, to save energy, your thermostat doesn’t preheat or pre-cool your home regardless of your Early-On setting.
Now, imagine that your oven knew that the dough is ready to bake at 5 PM and would automatically turn on early to be 350 ☏ (175 ☌) right at 5 PM.Įarly-On learns about your home and systemĪfter installation, your thermostat takes a few days to learn how long it takes for your home to heat and cool. You typically start to heat your oven a few minutes ahead of time so that it’s the right temperature when you’re ready to put your batch of cookies in to bake. To do this, your thermostat takes into account the weather, what it has learned about how quickly your home warms and cools, and how efficient your system is.Įarly-On works similarly to when you have to preheat the oven when you make cookies. When Early-On is enabled, your Nest thermostat automatically calculates how early it should turn on heating or cooling, so your home reaches a scheduled temperature on time. Newer Nest thermostats need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network to use Early-On. They don’t take into account how long it takes for your home to heat and cool, so your home doesn’t reach the scheduled temperature until later. Simple programmable thermostats only start heating or cooling at the time you scheduled. Anyone who has been added to your home in the Home app can edit Home & Away Routines.Whenever somebody’s home, your Nest thermostat can use Early-On to start heating or cooling early so that your home reaches the scheduled temperature on time. You can also start these Routines with a voice command (US English only) or the Home app. Once someone returns, your Home Routine will start. Your Away Routine will start when everyone’s away from home. You can also tap an action to edit its individual settings. To delete or reorder existing triggers and actions, tap Edit.
