 With the Alarm.com smart thermostat, you can create schedules that help save on energy costs while you're away and keep you comfortable when you're at home. To program a schedule, click on the thermostat card located on the home screen. From there, click schedules. From here, you can customize heating and cooling schedules. For this example, we will configure the heating schedule by clicking heat at the top of the page. Click and drag the icon to adjust times for each temperature change. You can adjust the number of temperature settings per day by clicking 2 or 4 near the bottom of the screen. Choose two settings for increased simplicity or four settings for increased customization. Click on the icon to change the thermostat mode for the times you adjusted earlier. Choose from a pre-selected list for modes like home, away, and sleep or create your own. Adjust target temperatures for each temperature mode by clicking the arrows next to each set point. Configure the target temperatures to save money when you aren't home and optimize comfort when you are. Change the view by clicking 5 and 2 day or 7 day near the bottom left of your screen. You can choose to customize the schedule for each day of the week or for only weekdays and weekends. Work smarter, not harder by copying schedules from one day to others throughout your schedule. Click copy schedule near the bottom right of your screen. In the drop-down menu, select the day whose schedule you would like to duplicate, then select the days you would like to have that schedule. The smart away feature will automatically set your thermostat to away if you leave home unexpectedly. To enable this feature, click smart away near the bottom of your screen and toggle it on by clicking the toggle button in the top left. You can configure your smart away to activate when your system is armed away or a selected geo-enabled device leaves a geo-fence. To make these selections, check or uncheck the boxes below the description. Be sure to save your schedule when you are finished. Click save schedule.
