Impossible to program the thermostat from PC
Good morning,
it seems that the new web interface does not allow you to program the smart thermostat in any way.
And apparently, many posts report the same problem.
I assume it's a manufacturer's choice.
Or am I wrong?
Very negative experience

Indeed. I got the same problem.
same here. there is no way to set schedules on web. very bad.
Even though the night setting is set to 6 o'clock, the daytime setting starts at 4:30 am
Where are the Thermostat functions, scheduling and programming in the new Web app?!
They are NOWHERE! How can you possibly launch new software WITHOUT testing?
Do you call this an "improvement"? Well apparently Netatmo has internal issues so they cannot address anymore the support of their OWN products.
from the webapp help: "From the dashboard it is not possible to add new programs or modify them. To do so, use the mobile app exclusively."
So it's a manufacturer's decision!
How is it possible? And I also can't find a way to see the temperatures of the different rooms without seeing it on a graph...
Netatmo is a serious pain in the butt since they became part of bticino. Everything has gone to hell and back by insisting the so-called 'smartphone' app is used to control the system. Who needs a pathetic 6/7 inch display on a mobile device to set up schedules? Already looking for a new 'smart' thermostat solution after 6 decent years using Netatmo (albeit with pathetic product support).
At mid may 2024 , with the new Web interface still not possible to modify programs
with the web interface.
More than 4 months now that this problem is annoying a lot of customers.
If it was easy to set up programs with the smart phone application nobody will complain , but it is far to
be the case.
Look into installing Home Assistant on your network. It can control netatmo and other devices and you can set up your own smart schedules that way.
Scheduling is back in the webapp, since a few weeks at least. Not exactly as before, and tucked away under 'Settings'. But it works OK and only used once in a while anyway. Much better than using the settings option on an Android phone.
beehive1234 suggested installing 'Home Assistant' which looks to be a very fine webapp, open sourced and extremely comprehensive. So much so, that it needs to be installed as a Virtual Machine which is possibly resource heavy for most users and maybe too much of a 'heavy' installation process.
Thanks to Thorley for letting us know.
And a big thank you to the Netatmo team. Bringing back schedules in the webapp is soooo much better.
I would still like the "data download" function to include the "outside temperature" that is used for the calculating algorithms. (But I appreciate it is only for "niche nerds" like me.
