ANSWERED: Thermostat Scheduling Available in the Xfinity Home App

Learn how to use the Xfinity Home app to add, change or disable the Thermostat schedules that automatically keep your home temperature just where you want it.

Have a Carrier Cor, ecobee or Nest Thermostat? Xfinity Home Thermostat schedules don't work with Works with Xfinity Thermostats, but you can learn how to create schedules for them at Carrier Cor, ecobee or Nest support.

What You'll Need

• Xfinity Home
• At least one Xfinity Home Thermostat connected to your system
• Access to the Xfinity Home app

Adding or Changing a Thermostat Schedule

Follow these steps to add or change a Thermostat schedule from the Thermostat screen:

1. Sign in to the Xfinity Home app.
2. On the Overview screen, tap the Thermostat you want to manage.
   
3. On the Thermostat screen, tap Create Schedule.
   • If changing an existing schedule, tap Schedule, then skip to step 6.
     
4. On the Create Schedule screen, tap Next.
   
5. Select the HVAC system that the Thermostat controls, then tap Next.
   
6. On the Schedule screen:
   • The Thermostat you're working with is shown at the top (in this example, Living Room).
   • The selected mode is highlighted at the top (in this example, Heating). If this Thermostat controls only one system (heating or cooling), you'll see only one mode.
   • The selected day within the schedule is underlined above the time/temperature chart (in this example, Monday).
   • The time/temperature chart at the bottom shows the start time and setpoint (preferred temperature) for each period in the selected day.
     
7. To view the settings for a different day, tap the day's abbreviation above the time/temperature chart. Swipe left to see later days in the week; swipe right to return to earlier days.
8. If you're happy with the start times shown, leave them as is and skip to step 11. Otherwise, tap the time you want to change and select the new time. Each time period must be at least one hour long. For example, if Wake time is 6:00 AM, Leave time must be 7:00 AM or later.
   
9. To copy the new time to other days, select the check boxes next to the appropriate days, then click Apply.
   Careful! Changes are saved immediately and can't be undone.
   
10. Repeat steps 8-9 until you're happy with the start times shown on the Schedule screen.
11. If you're happy with the setpoints shown, leave them as is and skip to step 14. Otherwise, tap the setpoint you want to change, then select the new setpoint temperature.
    
12. To copy the new setpoint to other days, select the check boxes next to the appropriate days, then click Apply.
    Careful! Changes are saved immediately and can't be undone.
    
13. Repeat steps 11-12 until you're happy with the setpoints shown on the Schedule screen.
14. When you're done with one mode, tap Cooling or Heating to switch to the schedule for the other mode. In this example, we're looking at the Heating schedule, so you'd tap Cooling.
15. Review and customize the cooling schedule in the same way you did for the heating schedule (starting at step 6).
16. When you're done with both schedules, tap Submit Schedule.

Disabling a Thermostat Schedule

Your heating or cooling schedule is automatically active while your Thermostat is set to Heat or Cool mode. You don't need to disable a Thermostat schedule if all you want to do is temporarily override it. You can override the schedule by manually changing the current Thermostat settings. Your changes will apply until the next period in the schedule. You can manually change the current Thermostat settings from the following:

• Xfinity Home app
• Touchscreen (Xfinity Home Secure only)

If you need to disable a Thermostat schedule for a longer period, you can either set the Thermostat to hold at a specific temperature (which overrides the schedule) or turn off the Thermostat. For instructions, see the articles listed above.
