Considerations when editing the thermostat schedule

If you want the temperature to change according to the schedule intervals when there is a manual change, do not set the adjacent intervals to the same temperature as shown in the following image for the Weekday schedule. 

Note
: If using Celsius, temperatures can be set in 0.5 degree increments. Verify adjacent intervals are at least one degree different if you want the temperature to change according to that scheduled interval. 

If the target temperature on the schedule is the same on 2 or more adjacent intervals, it reads those adjacent intervals as 1 large schedule interval. For example in the preceding image:

On a weekday, if the thermostat is manually changed to 74 degrees at 8:00am, the target temperature stays at 74 degrees until 10:00pm since that is the next scheduled interval that has a different temperature. The thermostat does not resume the schedule at 10:00am to change the target temperature to 70 degrees since the weekday target temperature is identical with the preceding adjacent interval (i.e. both intervals are set for "open" at 70 degrees)
Whereas on the weekend, if the thermostat is manually changed to 74 degrees at 8:00am, the target temperature changes according to the schedule at 10:00am since the weekend adjacent intervals are set to different target temperatures

If you want each interval to trigger the schedule when manual changes occur, verify that adjacent intervals are set to different target temperatures.
