For those times of day which you do not want the heating on high, you can set a default temperature, so that the room doesn't cool down too far, leaving you to return to a cold house or causing the room to take a long time to heat up again. This is the temperature the room will control to during a reactive heating period where occupancy is not detected.
...
There is no configurable Default setting for On/Off zones. The zones are off by default and the Timer periods are always On.
Pre-heating
An alternative way to schedule the heating in your home is to activate Pre-heat from the Zone Setup.
