What is Power Saving Schedule?

Power Saving Schedule lets you automatically reduce your network's power consumption during specific times. This helps you reduce your carbon footprint and energy costs while you maintain full control over your network's performance.

Power Saving Schedule is an optional feature that temporarily lowers your network's performance to save energy. It's perfect for times when you're not actively using your network, like overnight or during work hours when your home is empty.

You can set custom schedules that fit your lifestyle. Power Saving Schedule won't turn on automatically—you'll need to enable it first. Once it's set up, it's designed to work quietly in the background.

What are the Key features?

While Power Saving Schedule is running, your network will use less power. Primary network functions still work, but peak performance is reduced. Make sure you don't need optimal performance during your scheduled power-saving times.

What is the best way to use Power Saving Schedule?

Plan around your usage: Set schedules for times when you're not streaming, gaming, or doing other activities that need high performance.

Start with one schedule: Try a single overnight schedule first to see how it works for you. You can always add more schedules later.

Verify status in the app: Use the eero app to quickly verify that Power Saving Schedule is active on your network. The app will display a green “leaf” icon at the top of the home screen whenever power saving is enabled.
