Schedule/Planner

Services you can call from Home Assistant to set a temporary target temperature for a thermostat.

Service: better_thermostat.set_temp_target_temperature

Service: better_thermostat.restore_saved_target_temperature

How can I set up a night mode schedule?

You can set up an automation that triggers a service call for every climate entity. As an example, you can use this blueprint:

blueprint:
  name: Better Thermostat Night mode
  description: >
    Set BT Thermostats to the Sleep preset when a Schedule event is active,
    and restore the None (normal) preset when the schedule ends.
    Requires the Sleep preset to be enabled in your Better Thermostat configuration.
