Hey there. The Nest Learning Thermostat 4th generation typically activates the AC or heat when the ambient temperature deviates from the set point by a small margin. This margin is often around 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
 It's important to note that this can vary slightly depending on factors like the specific settings on your thermostat, the efficiency of your HVAC system, and environmental conditions.
