Customizable Thermostat Inactivity Period and Automated Blocked Date Presets
Problem Statement:
The 'Unoccupied' thermostat preset currently has a fixed 2-week inactivity window before it activates, which is too long for some hosts.
Handling presets for blocked dates (non-paying guests) requires a manual toggle for each block, which is inefficient and prone to error.
Current Workaround:
Hosts must manually adjust thermostat settings or remember to enable the "Use Occupied preset for this block" toggle for every single calendar block.
Impact:
Increased energy costs and financial loss when the system doesn't switch to 'Unoccupied' mode quickly enough.
Operational inefficiency due to the manual effort required to manage blocked dates.
Proposed Solution:
Allow hosts to customize the inactivity period for the 'Unoccupied' preset (e.g., change it from 2 weeks to 1 week).
Provide an option to automate the 'Occupied' preset for all blocked dates by default.
Unlock:
Better energy efficiency and cost savings through more precise control of unoccupied properties.
Reduced manual overhead for hosts managing frequent calendar blocks.
