Hi, I switched from Futurhome hub to Homey bridge with my Futurehome thermostats. They have manual mode, “home” mode and “away” mode. With Futurehome app in Homey I can switch between these modes, but can I also set the “home” and “away” temperature via Homey? So far when I set the temperature in Homey the thermostat switches back to manual mode. Greetings, Ed ---

Hi and welcome to Homey! I also recently switched from Futurehome to Homey. I don’t have the FH thermostat myself, but I use a similar one with the same modes. Homey doesn’t come with predefined “modes” like Futurehome, but you can easily create your own using **Flows** or **Advanced Flows** 😏 From what I’ve experienced when you adjust the temperature directly from Homey, the thermostat usually switches to manual mode since you’re “manual" forcing it to a specific temperature. That’s how mine behaves as well. Here are a few ways you can control or adjust the thermostat with Homey: 1. Create flows that **adjust** the temperature based on your status (Home/Away/Sleep, etc.). 2. Create flows that turn the thermostat **on or off** depending on whether you’re Home/Away/Sleep, etc. 3. Create a flow that sets the thermostat to **predefined modes** Home or Away (with the temperatures predefined directly on the thermostat) when you’re Home/Away. 4. Manually adjust the temperature on the thermostat itself. For the Home/Away modes, you can set up a flow that automatically puts the thermostat in _Away mode_ when Homey detects that no one is home — and vice versa. You can also use this trigger to change the temperature or toggle the thermostat on/off. ([How to use Home/Away/Sleep status in Homey.](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360012141853-Using-Presence-and-Sleep-Status)) Here’s an example flow showing **three** different options ( **Then flow cards** ) for controlling the thermostat: ![1000020265](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/5/e5266a27ccfabf6675cff006879513981c06ec51.jpeg) It looks like the FH thermostat has the same flow cards: ![1000020267](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/0/9032591f143395dd3db546efd99fbfb371ff2e9c.jpeg) Hope this helps you get started with thermostat control in Homey! 😉 ---

@ user3951: Thanks a lot for your assistance! So it seems that Homey cannot directly address the temperature settings stored with AWAY and HOME mode. Astonished a bit and I can live with that. ---

Happy to help! 😊 If I understand you correctly, you’re looking to adjust the temperature settings for the thermostat based on its own Home/Away mode? Are you certain you were able to do this from the hub when you had the FH hub? According to the [Futurehome support page](https://support.futurehome.no/hc/no/articles/12631161743133-Futurehome-Smart-Thermostat-innstillinger), it’s only possible to change these settings directly on the [thermostat](https://support.futurehome.no/hc/no/articles/5347913826077-Futurehome-Termostat) itself — not via the hub. If the FH thermostat was a Z-Wave device (like the one I have), then it’s possible to modify most of the advanced configuration parameters by sending commands via Z-Wave😏 If you want you could suggest this to the developers, there’s a “Suggestion” button on the [Futurehome Homey app page](https://homey.app/en-no/app/no.futurehome/Futurehome/) where you can do that. In the meantime, I recommend adjusting the thermostat with “set temp” or “on/off” using a flow or a virtual mode button. That way, you can also add time schedules for heating, and control other devices like lights at the same time😉 Since community apps and virtual devices aren’t supported on Homey Bridge, you’ll need to rely on flows to manage Home/Away/Sleep modes. Alternatively, you could experiment with adding virtual devices using [this workaround](https://community.homey.app/t/bridge-homey-virtual-devices-experiment/52317). Adding a [related tread](https://community.homey.app/t/futurehome-termostat-change-modus-regulating-effect-vs-temperature/139947) for FH termostat controlling.
