“We are seasonal in Florida and when we leave we change to away setting which is set to 82 degrees for AC to run. Last summer the person checking our place says the thermostat changed to 75 degrees when we have been gone for awhile. Why is this?”

A lot of things can be happening. First, not sure how familiar your friend is with the thermostat. If you walk near it, the first thing that pops up is the actual temperature, not the setting. If it was a cooler day or evening and he walked by the thermostat, it would initially show the current temp which may have been 75. Also, are you sure you set it to ECO temp setting or just turned it down? If you just turned it down, the timer will take it to the next setting at the next time. Finally, do you have a smart phone App? You can check it, change it any time you want as long as your phone is connected and the Wi-Fi is on at your Florida place.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nest will only change the schedule if learning mode it enabled. If you had someone checking your house and they changed the thermostat, Nest would learn this and implement it into the schedule. You can disable learning mode and implement a static schedule through the app/web.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Did you use the Nest app to look at the history? It may be that it actually ran at 82 degrees, but when the person came into the house it sensed activity and displayed the target cooling temperature of 75. I'm not an expert, but that seems like a possibility.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your nest learns your routine. If you've been in a regular routine when home (for example, having the AC at 75 degrees when you are home), then it might think you like it at 75 degrees every evening at 5 pm. You should open up the app if you're going to be away and delete the "learned" set points when you're away. You can also set an "away" temperature, but it's probably worth opening up the app once in a while to see what the current temperature is set at in your home when you're away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure why it did that but with the app you can check it anytime you want with an internet connection. You can see what is set and change hour to hour in the app under schedule
