Programs

Programs

Favourites, schedules and temperature curves — stored and run on the server, so they fire with the phone off, out of battery, or out of the country. The app is the editor; the scheduler is Breeze Core's.

The server side, including how curves are interpolated and why times are server-local: Programs, schedules and curves.

The three kinds

• Favourites — a saved scene: mode, setpoint, fan, swing. Apply it with one tap. You can also save a favourite from a unit's current state, which is the quickest way to keep a setting you have just dialled in by hand.
• Schedules — day-of-week and time, with the settings to apply. Edited as a list of entries.
• Curves — a temperature-curve builder with a live preview: drop points across the day and the app draws the shape the server will interpolate. Cooler overnight, warmer before you wake, cooler again through the afternoon.

Each program targets one or more units, so a single schedule can drive the whole flat or one room.

Requirements

The Programs screen needs the server's scheduler. Against a server without it the screen is unavailable rather than broken.

Curve editing and schedule-entry editing live here in the app; the server's web panel can view, apply, enable/disable and delete them, but sends you here to edit the points.

Not a program: the sleep timer

"Off in 45 minutes" is a one-shot, and it lives on the control screen as an hourglass rather than in here. A program is a standing intention that keeps applying; a timer exists to happen once and then stop existing, so the server keeps them apart — Timers.
