It's an automation template to control your heating/cooling. It has every feature you can think of to create a really smart climate control

Update. After installing and basic setup, I woke up to a toasty house and the heater running practically alllll night.

PG&E is going to ream me with a hot poker this month. Oopsie!

Note to others: set reminders to do periodic testing. Don't just go to sleep like me. Haha!

Reminds me of the time I didn't realise that my underfloor heating had week/weekend heat settings, and woke up to a 24 degree basement.

yes, you should definitely check regularly if the Automation does what you want, there are some stumbling blocks e.g. Difference of presence detection and persons. I spent about a month until I've understand enough so that it does what I want :)
