What happens when there's an outage? You have to set the temperature manually like some savage from 2010?

What if you're controlling a vacation house (or you're on vacation) and it can't get the schedule info from the cloud and leaves your house vulnerable to this heatwave?

same thing happened earlier this year:

quote:

“Woke up to a dead nest and a very cold house,” a commenter wrote on the company’s forum. “Not good when you have a baby sleeping!”

“Mine is offline,” another customer tweeted. “Not enough battery (?) I’m traveling. Called nest. Known problem. No resolution


For those who are elderly or ill, or who have babies, a freezing house can have dire health consequences. Moreover, homeowners who installed a Nest in a weekend home, or who were on vacation, were also concerned that their pipes could freeze and burst, causing major damage.

Funny, but this does bring up some concerns. What really does happen? Does it hold at whatever temp it was set at before the outage? Do they stop functioning altogether? Does the unit remember anything at all about its schedule?

You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!

Mine seems to be working on its normally programmed schedule.
