  4. Select the duration you want the fan to run – 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or 12 hours.
  5. Tap “Start”.

The fan will now run for the selected duration and automatically turn off afterwards.

The fan speed will now change to your selected setting whenever your system runs.

Voice Commands

In addition to manual controls, you can use Google Assistant voice commands to control your Nest fan if you have a Google Home speaker or display:

  • “Hey Google, turn on the thermostat fan for 30 minutes”
  • “Hey Google, set the thermostat fan to high”
  • “Hey Google, set a thermostat fan schedule from 2pm to 8pm daily”

This allows convenient hands-free voice control.
