Usage

Viewing Schedules

The card displays the weekly schedule as color-coded temperature blocks:

Color Range Temperature Description
Blue < 10°C Cold
Light Blue 10–14°C Cool
Cyan 14–17°C Mild Cool
Green 17–19°C Comfort Low
Light Green 19–21°C Comfort
Light Orange 21–23°C Warm
Orange 23–25°C Warmer
Deep Orange >= 25°C Hot

Hover over a block to see the exact time range and temperature.

Editing Schedules

  1. Click on any day row in the week view
  2. The editor opens showing all time slots for that day
  3. Adjust the base temperature at the top of the editor (background temperature for uncovered times)
  4. Modify end times and temperatures for each block
  5. Click + Add Time Block to add a heating period
  6. Click the trash icon to remove a block
  7. Click Save to apply changes to the thermostat

Automatic Block Merging

Consecutive time blocks with the same temperature are automatically merged when saving. For example, 06:00–08:00 at 22°C followed by 08:00–10:00 at 22°C becomes a single 06:00–10:00 block at 22°C.

Profile Switching

Use the profile dropdown to switch between P1–P6. The currently active profile on the device is marked with an asterisk (*).

Viewing vs. Activating

The profile dropdown in the card is for viewing and editing different profiles. To change the active profile on the device, use the homematicip_local.set_current_schedule_profile action or the Device Configuration Panel.

Schedule Format

The card uses the Simple Format: a base temperature plus explicit heating periods. Only periods that differ from the base temperature are stored.

Example: Base 17°C with one heating period:

Time Temperature Source
00:00 – 06:00 17.0°C Base temperature
06:00 – 22:00 21.0°C Heating period
22:00 – 24:00 17.0°C Base temperature

See Week Profiles for the full schedule data format and all available actions.
