Creating and Editing a Zone Schedule

Last updated: November 14, 2026

A zone schedule gives every thermostat in a zone the same weekly routine. Set it once on the zone and every thermostat in it follows the same events, so you don't need to schedule each one.

Note: Creating, editing and copying zone schedules in the app needs Mysa app version 4.17.0 or later. Update the Mysa app from the App Store or Google Play before you start.

How a Zone Schedule Works

A zone has one schedule, and every thermostat in the zone follows it.
The zone schedule replaces the individual schedules of the thermostats in the zone. A thermostat in a zone can't have its own separate schedule.
Changes you make to the zone schedule apply to every thermostat in the zone at once.
Holds, shortcuts (Home / Away / Vacation) and geofencing can temporarily override the zone schedule, just like they do for a single thermostat.

[CONFIRM: Which products can be in a zone and have a zone schedule. The current Using Zones article says only Mysa for Baseboards V1 and V2 can be added to zones; Slack threads from 2026 mention Baseboard Gen3 (BB3) in zones. Update this list before publishing.]

Tip: Zones work best when the thermostats in the zone heat the same physical space, like an open-concept main floor. Thermostats in separate rooms may heat unevenly on the same schedule.

Before You Start

Make sure your Mysa app is on version 4.17.0 or later.
Create the zone first. See Using Zones.
Make sure every thermostat in the zone is online. An offline thermostat won't get schedule changes until it reconnects.

[CONFIRM: Whether shared users can create and edit zone schedules, or only the account owner. The Creating and Managing Schedules article says shared users can create and edit device schedules.]

Creating a Zone Schedule

Open the Mysa app.
From the home screen, tap the zone tile to open the zone. [CONFIRM: that tapping the zone tile opens the zone control screen in 4.21.0+.]
Tap Add Schedule. [CONFIRM: exact button label on the zone control screen.]
Choose how you want to build the schedule:

Using the Wizard

ENERGY STAR® Recommended — A standard Monday–Friday schedule with setbacks while you're away and overnight. You can adjust the timing and temperatures after.
Create Your Own — Answer questions about your routine (wake/sleep times, when you leave and return) and your preferred temperatures (home, away, sleep).

[CONFIRM: that both wizard options appear for zones with the same names as for single thermostats.]

Manually

Set each event yourself: the time, the days of the week, the mode and the target temperature. Tap Save, then tap Add Event to add more events. Schedules repeat weekly.

[CONFIRM: that the zone schedule editor uses the same Save and Add Event buttons as the device schedule editor.]

5. When your events are set, save the schedule. Every thermostat in the zone now uses it.

[CONFIRM: Whether the thermostats start following the new zone schedule right away or stay at their current setting until the next scheduled event (or until you tap Follow Schedule / resume the schedule). An app change in June 2026 stopped the app from automatically switching devices to "follow" when a zone schedule is created.]

[CONFIRM: Whether Copy from Other Mysa is offered when adding a zone schedule, so a zone can start from another thermostat's schedule.]

Editing a Zone Schedule

Always edit the schedule from the zone, not from a single thermostat, so every thermostat in the zone gets the change.

From the home screen, tap the zone tile to open the zone.
Tap the schedule icon. [CONFIRM: location and name of the schedule icon on the zone control screen; on a single thermostat it is at the bottom left.]
Tap the event you want to change.
Adjust the time, days, mode or temperature, and tap Save.

To add another event, tap Add Event. To delete a single event, tap the event and select Delete.

Copying Zone Schedule Events

If you want the same events on several days, copy a day instead of rebuilding it.

Open the zone schedule (see Editing a Zone Schedule above).
Tap Copy Day at the bottom.
Select the day(s) to copy to, then tap Next and Okay to save.

Note: Finish or save the event you are editing before you copy. The copy button is turned off while an event is being edited, and from app version 4.20.0 copying an event saves any edits in progress.

[CONFIRM: that the zone schedule uses the same Copy Day button and Next / Okay flow as a single thermostat's schedule.]

Deleting a Zone Schedule

Open the zone schedule.
Tap the three dots (top right) and select Delete Schedule.

[CONFIRM: that Delete Schedule is in the three-dot menu on the zone schedule, and what the thermostats do afterwards (keep their current setpoint vs. return to their previous individual schedules).]

Limitations

Saved schedules can't be used with zones

Saved schedules can't be applied to a zone. They can only be applied to individual thermostats.
Thermostats that are in a zone don't appear in the list of devices you can apply a saved schedule to.
A zone schedule can't be saved as a saved schedule to reuse later.

If you switch between seasonal routines (for example, summer and winter time-of-use rates), edit the zone schedule when the season changes.

[CONFIRM: Whether the Save Schedule option is now hidden in the zone schedule's three-dot menu. Engineering said in Nov 2025 that it was still showing by mistake. If it still shows, add: "If you see Save Schedule on a zone schedule, it won't create a saved schedule."]

When a thermostat joins a zone

When you add a thermostat to a zone, it starts following the zone schedule and the zone setpoint. Its own schedule no longer runs while it is in the zone.

[CONFIRM: Whether the thermostat's previous individual schedule is deleted or kept and restored later.]

When a thermostat leaves a zone

You can change which thermostats are in a zone from Zone Settings. When a thermostat is removed from a zone, it goes back to independent control.

[CONFIRM: What schedule a removed thermostat runs after it leaves: a copy of the zone schedule, its previous individual schedule, or no schedule. Also confirm the menu path in Zone Settings.]

When a zone is deleted

When you delete a zone, each thermostat goes back to independent control. See Deleting a Zone.

[CONFIRM: Whether the zone schedule is deleted along with the zone and whether each thermostat returns to its previous individual schedule. Deleting a Zone says each thermostat "returns to independent operation with its own individual schedule"; Zone Not Following the Same Temperature or Schedule says to "re-apply the schedule if it did not carry over from the deleted zone." The two articles should give the same answer.]

Scheduling is app-only

You can't create or edit a zone schedule from the thermostat itself. Using the buttons on one thermostat creates a temporary override for that thermostat only, until the next scheduled event.

Troubleshooting

One thermostat isn't following the zone schedule

Check that you changed the schedule from the zone, not from one thermostat.
A hold on one thermostat can temporarily split it from the rest of the zone until the hold ends.
Home / Away / Vacation shortcuts or geofencing can make the zone look out of sync until the shortcut or hold ends.
Smart Early-On on supported baseboards can start one room earlier than another.

See Zone Not Following the Same Temperature or Schedule.

A thermostat is offline

An offline thermostat won't receive zone schedule changes until it reconnects. Fix the Wi-Fi connection first, then open the zone schedule again to check it.

I can't find the option to add or edit a zone schedule

Update the Mysa app to version 4.17.0 or later, then close and reopen the app.

I want to apply a saved schedule to my zone

This isn't supported. Edit the zone schedule instead, or delete the zone so each thermostat can use its own schedule or a saved schedule.
