This action will command the thermostat to “override” mode and send occupied settings to the thermostat for each scheduled event. The override timer can be set to a fixed duration or it can be set to the calculated event duration. For durations that are longer than the maximum duration available in the thermostat, additional override commands will be sent to keep the thermostat overridden throughout the duration of the entire event.

This action applies to the following event triggers:

Verify Button
To verify the thermostat can be read over the network, click on the verify button. You will see some information coming back from the thermostat if it is valid.
Test Start Button
Click the “Test Start” button to test sending a command when an event start is triggered. You will see the status of the thermostat after the command is sent. If you are using the “Use Event Duration” option, a fixed 10 min override will be used for the test start command.
Test Stop Button
Click the “Test Stop” button to test sending a command when an event stop is triggered. You will see the status of the thermostat after the command is sent. This should return your thermostat back to the current active schedule. This schedule should only be set for your UNOCCUPIED settings.
Important: You need to have at least one active schedule defined for UNOCCUPIED mode in your 7-day schedules.
