I have an extremely basic question

Dflak — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 00:02:55 GMT

I have my thermostats set up to have an at home temperature of 68 degrees and away temperature of 65. Does this work only in Eco mode or does it work in "regular" mode.

And if it does work in regular mode then what is Eco mode?

Thanks, that answers a lot of questions and raises one more.

How do I check that the thermostat is looking for my phone to see if I am home or not? I can't depend on the motion sensors since I may not be in a part of the house with a thermostat for hours at a time, so I cannot depend on the motion sensors.

You set it up in the Home app.

It asks to use your location of your phone to tell if you are home or not and you have to say yes or no.
