Once installed and configured, the Netatmo Smart Thermostat offers multiple ways to control your home's temperature.
4.1 Using the Netatmo Energy App
The Netatmo Energy app is the primary interface for managing your thermostat. It allows for:

You can also make temporary temperature adjustments directly on the thermostat unit:
- Press the + button to increase the temperature.
- Press the - button to decrease the temperature.
- Manual adjustments will typically override the schedule for a set period (e.g., 3 hours) or until the next scheduled change, depending on your app settings.
