Answer
Apparently, no. Just bought one and installed today - worked flawlessly, except for recirculating fan. Can do so manually, but cannot program fan. Called Nest support and was told this question had not previously come up.

One Nest device for each thermostat replaced. The Nest allows you to name each device individually then control them individually or remotely, with one mobile app. I just installed three in my house.

Does it automatically switch between heat and cool?
- Asked by Ray O from Tampa
- Dec 18, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
Yes - but the downside is that the thermostat will operate within a range of temperatures. I want the bedroom to be at 70 but the narrowest range I can get it 70-73. Not a big deal but otherwise it would be working overtime switching between heat and cool to try to hold a specific temperature.

Answer
The lowest the interface will allow is 40°F. My understanding is that this is a necessary safety margin to ensure that no areas are below freezing.
