Nest Secure has three different alarm settings: Off, Home and Away. Here’s how to tweak some of these options to suit your needs.
Here’s how each alarm level runs by default:
- Off: only doors/windows are opened and closed, detected and logged, but no alarm sounds at all and no alerts are sent.
- House and security: only doors/windows open and close, detected and logged, but the alarm sounds and you get alerts.
- Departure and security: any movement as well as the opening and closing of doors/windows are detected and recorded. An alarm sounds and alerts are sent.
You can change these settings a bit. To get started, open the Nest app on your phone and tap the Settings button (gear icon) in the top right corner of the screen.
Click «Security» at the bottom of the list.
On the Security page, tap the Security Levels setting.
From here there are a few things you can change around. We’ll start by touching on the «Quiet Open» setting.
