This action disable all 7-day programmable schedules and will set the thermostat Day/Night mode to Occupied (Day) or Unoccupied (Night) based on triggered events from the event provider’s scheduled events. Each thermostat has separate setpoints and modes for Day and Night allowing for energy savings while the room is unoccupied.
