Thermostat does not follow programmed schedules; heating turns on or off at unexpected times.

Safety: No electrical hazard; this is a configuration issue.

Steps:

• Verify time and time zone: Ensure the thermostat and app show the correct local time and time zone.
• Review schedules: In the Meross app, check each day's schedule for overlapping periods or unintended low setpoints.
• Clear overrides: Cancel any manual holds or vacation modes that may override the schedule.
• Test with simple schedule: Create a basic two-period schedule (e.g., day/night) and observe behavior for 24 hours.

Resolution: If the thermostat still ignores schedules with correct configuration, a firmware bug or memory issue may be present; update firmware or replace the unit.
