What’s configurable
Every setting, grouped by area, with its choices and where to find it on a wall panel or TV and on Apple devices. The default is in bold.
Who a setting applies to. House settings live in Home Assistant and are the same on every screen. This screen settings belong to one wall panel, TV or Apple device; with the hub they follow that screen and can be edited from any screen in Settings › Screens.
House defaults are the starting values for a new setup. A house that’s already running keeps its own values.
Good to know
- Times are 12-hour, and every screen follows the house unless you change it.
- The briefing stays up 2 hours after the wake time, or until you choose Done.
- Snooze is 10 minutes. With Up by on Automatic, you’re up within 30 minutes of the wake time, or 45 minutes before your first event, whichever comes first.
- The alarm starts at 7:00 AM Mon–Fri, with weekends at 8:30 AM and their alarm off. Bedtime targets start at the wake time minus 8 hours.
- Lights always use their warmest colour. That isn’t a setting; it’s a rule.
- The comfort schedule starts off.
