How are you automating your heating as temps swing this fall?

Trying to fine-tune my heating automations now that the temps are all over the place like chilly mornings but warm afternoons. I’ve got a mix of smart thermostats and a few smart plugs running space heaters in certain rooms, but it’s tricky finding that sweet spot where the house stays comfortable without wasting power. Anyone else experimenting with routines or temperature triggers this season? Curious how you’re balancing comfort and energy savings with all these up-and-down fall temps.

Honestly, I just use manual overrides on cooler mornings and let the smart system handle the rest. The constant temperature swings make automation messy unless you’ve got sensors in every zone. Sometimes low-tech works best until winter fully sets in.

Interesting setup. I’ve seen people use temperature differentials between rooms to trigger automations like if the main thermostat drops 2°F below average, the smart plugs kick in for target zones. Have you tried any temperature-based scenes tied to specific times of day yet?
