Nest 4.1.0 adds the long-awaited accessibility and it's great!
The new version of the Nest Mobile app, v4.1.0, has just come out and sports accessibility for screen reader users. So far as I can see, all the important functionality can now be used with VoiceOver.
Can someone tell me
Can someone tell me how to switch from cool to heat on the Nest app? I can't figure it out. Thanks.
Switching from heat to cool
Sorry but with voice over on you can not currently switch from heat to cool or control the house fan on/off or even turn the system off. Thankfully I only have to do that once or twice a year and I get my wife to do it. However, a trick to at least turn the system basically off is to switch to away mode. The app has come a long way since I first installed my Nest and all in all it is great, but they need to fix this. Perhaps comments to the builder on this from multiple people will help?

Thanks for letting me know
I think I will call their customer service hotline and ask to speak to the app developer. I wonder if that might work. I may even try and get him to do it with Voiceover on if I can even get through.
Called about switching heat/cool
FYI, I just spent about an hour on the phone trying to get this issue identified to be fixed. Of course it started with the first level support who was very nice and willing to listen, but did not have a clue about using Voice Over . After a long time on hold he got me someone who at least knew what Voice Over was and who could understand the issue. He assured me he would get it looked at. I will post when I hear back from him.

Hah, I just did the same
I just did the same thing. The first guy who answered was attempting to be helpful but had no idea about Voiceover. He said he would escalate the problem. We'll see if anything happens.
Version 5.0.3
Changing from heat to cool and turning off the thermostat is now possible without turning off Voiceover. The buttons aren't labeled great, but they work better.

Vibration announcement for sound and video
I have the nest cam and it allows you to send alerts whenever it detects motion or sound. This is very helpful for those with hearing disabilities. You can have the cam send an alert when it detects a sound (doorbell) and the alert can be felt on your Apple Watch.
The motion detection is nice, but can get annoying when people are constantly moving in the room. I usually keep that disabled unless I'm out of town.
Nest App
Hey all,
I now have the Nest Thermostat installed. I was curious if anyone has found a way to do the manually scheduling of the thermostat with the app or website. Between my phone and Amazon Echos, changing/monitoring the temperature is very nice, but manually scheduling seems to be impossible sadly.
