Pause a room or shift its time

Let one room break away from the house rhythm — hold it in place, or run it at a different hour of the day.

Every room follows the house rhythm by default. Two controls let one room break away without disturbing the rest.

Open the room

Tap a room on the Home tab to see its orbit — the sun's position shows where that room currently sits in the day.

Pause it

Toggle Rhythm off in the room's controls. The room stops adapting and holds where it is — its badge reads Paused instead of Rhythm. Toggle it back on to rejoin.

Shift its time

Drag the orbital dot to a different hour to make the room live at that point of the curve — pull the bedroom toward evening while the rest of the house is still in the afternoon.

Snap back

Tap Reset to now to clear the offset and rejoin the live house rhythm.

A paused or shifted room stays that way until you tap Reset to now — there's no automatic expiry.
