    1. There is a subtab under the Manage Property page called “Building Automation” where the user will configure settings for the property.
    2. Also on Property: Building Automation settings page has a section titled “Thermostat Automation Settings” with these fields:
      1. Temperature Time Setting – See #3 Pre Check In Settings
      2. Temp Setting Upon Checkout
        1. When a reservation checks out of the unit, the air conditioner will ensure that the internal temperature stays between these two temperature fields, it will heat, or cool in order to keep temperature within acceptable range.
      3. Temp Setting Upon Check In
        1. When a reservation checks in to the unit, the air conditioner will ensure that the internal temperature stays between these two temperature fields, it will heat, or cool in order to keep temperature within acceptable range.
