When programming schedules‚ be sure to set the desired heating and cooling temperatures for each time period‚ as well as the corresponding start and end times. The thermostat will remember your programmed schedules and automatically adjust the temperature accordingly‚ ensuring that your home is comfortable when you need it to be.
