1. Restart
When you restart your Nest Thermostat, you won't lose any information or previous settings from your Nest Learning Thermostat. Think of this process as the same way you restart your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
When you put it back on, you still have all your information and personal settings. You can do this for an unresponsive Nest Thermostat.
2. Schedule
This Google Nest Thermostat setting will erase any previous temperature schedules you've set. So whether you manually input the schedules or chose the auto-schedule function, using this reset setting will erase your schedules.
You can choose this reset type if the seasons have changed or you've got back home from a long period away. This will enable your Nest Thermostat to follow the changing times.
Note that if you've set your Nest Thermostat unit to control your hot water, resetting the schedule will also remove any schedule you've set for your hot water. You'll have to set up the hot water schedule again.
3. Away
If you choose to reset your Nest Thermostat using this method, all the learned information accumulated by your Nest account will be erased. For example, your smart home Thermostat learns how many times you walk by to enable your connected devices to switch automatically.
You can use this setting to reset the Nest Thermostat after you remodel your home, or you move your Thermostat to a new location in your home. Expect your Thermostat to collect information again after a couple of days.
4. Network
When you select reset for the network, you will remove all the network information. Your Thermostat will forget the Wi-Fi password and disconnect from the Wi-Fi network.
To reconnect it, you'll need to connect it back to the network by choosing your Wi-Fi network from the settings icon. You can choose this reset setting when you have a new router in your home.
