The Nest thermostat has a feature called “Auto-Schedule” that learns your preferences and creates a temperature schedule based on your behavior.

One of the ways to stop your nest from changing temperature on its own is to turn off auto schedules. But how do you turn off auto schedules?

From the Nest app follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the Nest app and select your Nest thermostat.

Step 2: Select Settings Nest settings icon and then Auto-Schedule.

Step 3: Tap the switch to turn it off.

When the battery voltage drops to a certain level, the thermostat may encounter issues with maintaining consistent functionality, leading to erratic temperature adjustments or unexpected behavior.

To fix this issue , you’ll need to replace the batteries with new ones or connect a C wire to your thermostat which is a more stable source of power.
