Managing Shared Schedules

Shared Schedules are schedules that can be shared with all of your Pelican sites. To create a schedule that can be shared across multiple thermostats, you will want to use the Schedule Dashboard on your Pelican Web-App to create Shared Schedules.

Important: Schedules that are created within How to Use MySites Shared Schedules can only be edited at the MySites level.

  5. Select the day(s) for which you would like to add schedules.

How to Link Shared Schedules Across All (or Some) Thermostats

Once you have created Shared Schedule(s) you can easily link the thermostat to that schedule. Once the thermostat is linked to a Shared Schedule, the schedule is uploaded into the thermostat.

  • Off: Not scheduled
  • Custom: This thermostat has a unique schedule only it follows.
