About schedules
Schedules are regularly used to control the equipment installed in your home. One or more
thermostats can share a schedule, but other equipment, such as hot water tanks and other
devices are each attached exclusively to a particular schedule.
By default, schedules use Setback setpoints to conserve energy. If you want the system to run on Normal setpoints
at certain times of the day, such as those times when you are at home, you must add time blocks to the schedule.
Time blocks on the schedule mean that Normal setpoints are used. At all other times, Setback setpoints are used.
On days that you want to use Normal setpoints, because you will be home, you can add override time blocks to the
schedule and add dates to the override calendar. For example, if the regular schedule keeps the temperature low
during the day, but you know you will be home on Friday, you could add an override time block to the schedule for
the hours you will be home, and add Friday's date to the override calendar to keep the temperature at normal levels
that day.
On override days set in the override calendar, all schedules use the override "day" time blocks, which can vary from
schedule to schedule. See
The vacation calendar, however, sets all the equipment to use Setback setpoints for the entire day. See
