Nest products are designed to be largely automated, but you can also control them manually. Here's how:
Controlling Your Nest Thermostat
- Nest Learning Thermostat: You can manually adjust the temperature by turning the thermostat's ring clockwise to increase the temperature or counterclockwise to decrease it.
- Nest Thermostat E: Similar to the Learning Thermostat, you can adjust the temperature by turning the ring clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease.
- Nest Thermostat (3rd Generation): This thermostat has a touch screen. Tap the plus (+) icon to increase the temperature or the minus (-) icon to decrease it.
Controlling Your Nest Cam
- Nest Cam Indoor: Use the Nest app to manually control the camera. You can pan, tilt, and zoom the camera, and you can also start and stop recording manually.
- Nest Cam Outdoor: Similar to the Indoor model, you can control the camera manually through the app. You can also use the Nest Cam Outdoor's built-in speaker and microphone to speak to people near the camera.
- Nest Cam IQ Indoor and Outdoor: These cameras offer advanced features like facial recognition and object tracking. You can manually control these features through the Nest app.
Controlling Your Nest Doorbell
- Nest Hello: You can manually control the doorbell through the Nest app. You can answer the doorbell remotely, speak to visitors, and even see a live view of your doorstep.
Controlling Your Nest Mini
- Nest Mini: You can manually control the Nest Mini by using the touch controls on the device or by using the Google Home app. You can play music, set alarms, and make calls.
Remember, most Nest devices are designed to learn your habits and automate your home. However, you can always manually control them when you need to.
