The temperature screen on the Nest Learning Thermostat
The temperature screen on the Nest app
Dynamic Background
On both your thermostat and on the Nest app, the screen will change to visually tell you at a glance what your Nest Thermostat is doing: the screen turns blue when cooling, orange when heating, and black when the system is off.
Status
Above the target temperature is a text representation of what your Nest Thermostat is doing. It will tell you things like HEATING or COOLING or show you the Time-to-Temperature, which is an estimate of the time it will take for your system to heat or cool your home to the target temperature. Time-to-Temperature appears as soon as you adjust the target temperature up or down.
What is Time-to-Temperature? >
Target Temperature
When you look at the Nest Learning Thermostat temperature screen, either on your thermostat or the Nest app, the large number is the target temperature.
Current Temperature
The small number next to the small tick mark is the current ambient temperature in your home.
Nest Leaf
A Leaf will appear below the target temperature when the target temperature saves you energy. The Leaf will appear the first day you install the Nest Learning Thermostat. During the first few days, the Leaf is based on set temperatures. After that, your thermostat will personalize the Leaf to your home and schedule.
