Cool to Dry uses your air conditioner (AC) to reduce excessive humidity and help create a healthier environment in your home, especially when you’re away. Cool to Dry can be expensive, so we only recommend it if your summers are very humid and you don’t have another, more efficient way to dehumidify your home.
This article describes changes and enhancements included in software updates for the Nest Learning Thermostat.
Up to 60% of thermostats are exposed to direct sunlight throughout the year, causing them to read a temperature up to 25ºF/14°C higher than the actual temperature in the room. Nest’s Sunblock technology automatically adjusts to direct sunlight so that Nest reads and sets the correct temperature.
Having a clean air filter is an important part of maintaining your forced air heating and cooling system. Activating your Nest’s Filter Reminder will help you keep track of when to change it.

When Auto-Schedule is turned on, Nest adds setpoints and changes temperatures on your schedule based on your temperature adjustments. If you have a regular schedule, it works great. But Auto-Schedule may not make sense if you have an unpredictable schedule or are using Nest in a vacation home. If that’s the case, you may want to turn off Auto-Schedule and manually program a schedule that Nest will never change.
