# Creating and Managing Climate Presets

> Learn how to create, list, update, and delete climate presets for thermostats.

You create a set of climate presets for each thermostat, customized for your—and your users'—needs. Each climate preset is a predefined configuration for a thermostat that specifies settings, such as HVAC mode, fan mode, and temperature set points. These presets make it quick and efficient for users to apply consistent climate settings tailored to different scenarios, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency.

Once you create climate presets, you can [activate them](/api/thermostats/activate_climate_preset), add them to thermostat [schedules](../creating-and-managing-thermostat-schedules) and [programs](../creating-and-managing-thermostat-programs), and set them as the [fallback climate preset](/capability-guides/thermostats/creating-and-managing-climate-presets/setting-the-fallback-climate-preset).

***

## Climate Preset Properties

Each climate preset can contain the following properties, depending on the [capabilities](/capability-guides/thermostats/index#thermostat-capabilities) of the thermostat:

## Create a Climate Preset

To create a climate preset, issue a [`/thermostats/create_climate_preset`](/api/thermostats/create_climate_preset) request, providing the `device_id` of the desired thermostat. Also, include the desired settings for the climate preset and, optionally, a name.

The following example creates two climate presets with the keys `occupied` and `unoccupied`:

  })

  // Confirm that the thermostat supports heat_cool mode
  // so that the climate presets can use this mode.

## Update a Climate Preset

To update a climate preset, issue a [`/thermostats/update_climate_preset`](/api/thermostats/update_climate_preset) request, providing the `device_id` of the thermostat and the `climate_preset_key` of the desired climate preset. Also, include the desired updated settings for the climate preset.

**Request:**

    climate_preset_key: 'occupied',
    cooling_set_point_celsius: 24,
  })
  ```
