You can set the AC to begin cooling or heating when you are on your way back, so the space is comfortable on arrival. This avoids both the cost of running it all day and the wait when you walk in.

Vaety. sets this up with arrival and departure automations. When your phone leaves the area, the AC eases off. When you head home, it starts. We tune the distance and timing to your commute so it neither starts too early nor too late, and it can follow one person or the whole household.

This uses your phone location, which works through your hub and needs a mobile connection. You can switch it off at any time, and we explain what location data is used before it is enabled.
