Consequently, this is also why if you switch your Nest to Away, either on Nest or in the app, you'll automatically be switched to Eco Mode. Nest can also automatically detect when nobody's home and switch to Eco Mode itself. However, these systems aren't always foolproof, so being able to manually turn off Eco Mode is a good thing to know how to do.

Beyond that, though, it's useful to know how Eco Mode actually works: when a Nest detects your home's temperature is higher than its cooling setting, it will start cooling until it reaches the desired temperature. It will then turn itself off.
