    I find that setting the temperature does nothing.

    Did you actually turn it on?

    I ask because I once made that mistake. You have to set the temp, but you also have to enable custom climate in the top right corner of that screen on the app. The first time I tried using it, I didn't see that toggle, so I only adjusted the temp and was confused when it didn't work.

    I think I tried everything and gave up.
