# Set a Temperature Threshold

* [Request Parameters](#request-parameters)
* [Response](#response)

Sets a [temperature threshold](https://docs.seam.co/latest/capability-guides/thermostats/setting-and-monitoring-temperature-thresholds) for a specified thermostat. Seam emits a `thermostat.temperature_threshold_exceeded` event and adds a warning on a thermostat if it reports a temperature outside the threshold range.

## Request Parameters

**`device_id`** *String* (Required)

ID of the thermostat device for which you want to set a temperature threshold.

***

**`lower_limit_celsius`** *Number*

Lower temperature limit in in °C. Seam alerts you if the reported temperature is lower than this value. You can specify either `lower_limit` but not both.

***

**`lower_limit_fahrenheit`** *Number*

Lower temperature limit in in °F. Seam alerts you if the reported temperature is lower than this value. You can specify either `lower_limit` but not both.

***

**`upper_limit_celsius`** *Number*

Upper temperature limit in in °C. Seam alerts you if the reported temperature is higher than this value. You can specify either `upper_limit` but not both.

***

**`upper_limit_fahrenheit`** *Number*

Upper temperature limit in in °C. Seam alerts you if the reported temperature is higher than this value. You can specify either `upper_limit` but not both.
