Mode or Off Won’t Stick

Last updated: September 2, 2026

If Heat, Cool, Auto, or Off changes back a few minutes later, something else is sending a new command. The last command wins.

In the Mysa app

  • A schedule event can change mode or setpoint when the next block starts.

  • Home, Away, or Vacation shortcuts can change several thermostats at once.

  • Geofencing can apply those shortcuts when phones cross the boundary (Away waits until everyone included has left).

  • A zone hold or zone schedule applies to every thermostat in the zone.

Outside the app

  • Alexa, Google, and HomeKit routines or scenes

  • Someone else in the household changing the same thermostat (including a shared user)

  • The physical thermostat or mini-split remote, if that product still accepts local commands

Cancel holds with Follow Schedule, then watch the next scheduled event time to see which source writes next.
