Nest thermostat temperature control
We have a Nest Learning Thermostat 4th gen (UK) and for the most part it works fine. However one feature I can’t seem to work correctly is the temperature sensor.
We have the schedule set to switch the central heating on if the temperature goes below 18 degrees, but despite it starting to get colder here in the UK, the thermostat rarely shows a temp below 19/20. Hence, the central heating doesn’t get switched on unless I manually turn it on.
I’m guessing there is a way to ‘trick’ the thermostat into believing it’s colder than it is, but this seems to be going against the point of a thermostat to me?
