Introducing Thermostat Weekly Programs
This week, we’re excited to announce our support for thermostat weekly programs. We will be rolling out this feature in the Seam API over the next few weeks. Weekly programs are one of the most essential features of smart climate control. They’re customizable, time-based temperature schedules for every day of the week.
For example, weekly programs enable you to configure a routine that sets the temperature to a comfortable 68 °F/20 °C each weekday from 10 PM to 9 AM, while lowering the A/C during work hours.
Native Thermostat Programming
Many software applications want to deliver the same seamless experience that residents expect from native thermostat apps—without forcing users to install a separate app. With this new capability, developers can replicate a thermostat’s full programming functionality directly in their own products.
For example, residents living in apartments with preinstalled smart thermostats will soon be able to set weekday and weekend programs—from morning warmups to nighttime cooldowns—natively, from your application.
Simplified Schema, Broader Coverage
To support a wide range of thermostat brands, we’ve streamlined the underlying data model for thermostat programs. Seam abstracts away the complexity across different manufacturer schemas, so you, the developers, can work with a consistent programming format—whether the device is from Honeywell, Ecobee, or another supported provider.

Stay Tuned!
We will enable this feature gradually across supported devices in the coming weeks.
2025.05.23 Changelog
Changed
- Codes for time-bound Lockly access codes: We improved the timing calculation to make sure that time-bound access codes are set correctly on Lockly devices.
Fixes
- Lockly access codes not marked as set: We corrected an issue that was causing some Lockly access codes to be reported as not applied, even though Seam actually set them on the Lockly devices.
- Akiles battery and backup access codes: We corrected an issue in which some Akiles Controllers and Roomlocks were reporting an incorrect battery level or not generating backup access codes.
- Honeywell account deletion: We corrected an issue that was preventing the deletion of a connected Honeywell Resideo account.
