Temperature presets
With a temperature preset, you can easily set a specific temperature that you repeatedly use a bit faster than manually adjusting the temperature dial.
- Use ready-made presets like Comfort, Eco, and Sleep as soon as you add your thermostat in the Home app.
- Create custom presets. This is helpful for other times you might like a specific temperature that’s not included in your thermostat’s existing presets, like when you’re working out and want a cooler home or have a guest that likes warmer temperatures than you’re used to.
