How to Create, Edit, and Remove Device Schedules

If your home features LittleBird-enabled smart devices, you can use the LittleBird Mobile App to create schedules for some of those devices. Schedules allow you to automate devices around your daily routine, increasing convenience and comfort. 

Schedules are set up for a specific time, and a single specific action.  So, for example... lets say you wanted to create a schedule to "pre-cool" your home prior to price hike hours by a local gas/electric provider, and then scale that back to a more economical temperature during those hours - you would create 2 schedules, the first for the pre-cool, which would be (for example) Cool and 65. Then, you'd create a second schedule, for Cool and 85 that would start when the price-hike hours started.   

Prerequisites and notes: 

Schedules require an active internet connection - if your internet is down, your schedules will not run. 
Depending on system load, schedules may be delayed by up to 5 minutes.
