How to use Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance on iPhone

Using the Home app and your compatible Matter thermostat, you can turn on automatic adjustments for comfort and cleaner energy guidance.

Adaptive Temperature uses settings and temperature ranges for your At Home, Night, Away, and Extended Away states, and with compatible occupancy sensors, it can adjust the temperature based on room occupancy. It can even predict arrivals. With Clean Energy Guidance, Home makes small thermostat adjustments to help reduce electricity usage while energy sources are less clean.
