Nest seems to be running the AC way too much.
I installed a nest 3rd gen the other day and it seems to be running the AC way more than it needs to be. Sometimes it will be colder than what I have the temp set as and it will still be cooling or it will have reached the correct temperature but still cool for an hour. I go outside to check if the compressor is on and it always is so it isn't that airwave feature.
Perfect example of what I'm talking about happened today. The outside weather never went above 66 today. I have my AC set to 69. The AC has been running off and on all day and currently it is 68 inside and in cooling stage 2. There is no reason for Nest to turn the AC on currently especially when it knows how cool it is outside.
Then the other day I had it set to 72 and it brought it down to 68. It just kept blowing. I have a separate thermometer to check the air temperature and the nest sensor is correct. It's like it ignores what temperature it is in the house and just turns on whenever it wants to. It will be lower than the desired temperature and the AC will kick on.
I have auto learning and away mode turned off because the rest of the week it has been very hot and it kept turning the AC off as weird times while I was home and made the house in the high 70s. Schedule is 72 from 5a - 8p, 69 from 8-5.
