Reserved does not mean occupied
A reservation is a schedule.
Reservation times help you prepare a space. They do not tell you whether someone is physically in the building right now.
Plan around intended use
The start and end of a reservation define planned use. Heating actions and time-limited control permissions can be linked to that window.
If someone leaves early or arrives late, the reservation does not detect it automatically. Planning continues to follow the recorded times.
Separate preparation from access
Scheduling a target temperature before a booking begins is different from allowing guests to operate controls early. Each window is planned for its own purpose.
A lower temperature can be scheduled after use. A minimum break leaves time between bookings. Linked reservation actions or permissions can extend the protected interval.
A target value is not a guaranteed result
A scheduled target temperature is a request to a supported control. It does not guarantee a particular room temperature at an exact time.
Observe your building and choose a lead time that suits the system and conditions. Results also depend on whether the device is online and able to execute the request.
An everyday example
A community meeting from 6 to 9 pm
Use is planned for three hours. Heating can be prepared with a suitable lead time and reduced afterwards. The reservation will not automatically detect that the group actually arrives at 6:30 pm.
Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Does a reservation replace a presence sensor?
No. It represents planned times rather than measured presence.
Are heating preparation and guest access the same?
No. An automatic action and personal control permission serve different purposes and are configured accordingly.
