Shortcuts and Geofencing
Shortcuts and Geofencing
Shortcuts and Geofencing help automate your heating so you save energy without thinking about it.
Shortcuts
Shortcuts let you change the temperature of multiple thermostats with a single tap.
Creating a Shortcut
- Open the Mysa app
- Tap Shortcuts from the menu
- Tap Create Shortcut
- Name your shortcut (e.g., "Away" or "Cozy Evening")
- Select which thermostats to include
- Set the temperature for each (or Off)
- Tap Save
Using a Shortcut
- Tap Shortcuts
- Tap the shortcut you want to activate
All included thermostats immediately change to the shortcut settings.
Common Shortcuts
- Away — Lower all temperatures to save energy when you leave
- Home — Return all thermostats to comfortable temperatures
- Bedtime — Lower living areas, keep bedrooms comfortable
- All Off — Turn off all heating
Shortcuts vs Schedules
Shortcuts are instant, one-time changes. Schedules are recurring weekly events.
When you activate a shortcut, thermostats hold those settings until the next scheduled event or until you make another change.
Geofencing
Geofencing automatically adjusts your thermostats based on your phone's location. When you leave home, temperatures lower. When you return, they warm back up.
How Geofencing Works
- You set a "home" location and radius
- When your phone leaves that area, Mysa activates your Away shortcut
- When your phone returns, Mysa activates your Home shortcut
Setting Up Geofencing
- Open the Mysa app
- Tap Geofencing from the menu
- Enable Geofencing
- Set your home location on the map
- Adjust the radius (how far from home triggers away mode)
- Select your Away shortcut
- Select your Home shortcut
- Tap Save
Geofencing Requirements
- Location Services must be enabled for the Mysa app (Always)
- You need at least two shortcuts: one for Away, one for Home
- Works with iOS and Android
Multiple Users
If multiple people in your household use the Mysa app with geofencing:
- Away mode activates only when everyone leaves
- Home mode activates when the first person returns
Each user must have geofencing enabled on their own phone.
Geofencing Tips
- Set a larger radius if geofencing triggers too often (e.g., during short errands)
- Set a smaller radius if you want faster response when arriving home
- Make sure your phone's location is accurate (GPS enabled)
