# Activating a Climate Preset

In addition to [scheduling](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/capability-guides/thermostats/creating-and-managing-thermostat-schedules) climate presets for a thermostat, you can activate a configured climate preset immediately. When you activate a climate preset, it overrides any scheduled climate preset that is already active on the thermostat.

Activating a climate preset returns an [action attempt](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/core-concepts/action-attempts) that enables you to track the progress of the action. Poll this action attempt, until the action completes.

Further, Seam emits a [`thermostat.temperature_reached_set_point` event](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/api/events#event-types) when the thermostat reports a temperature within 1° Celsius of the heating or cooling [set point](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/capability-guides/thermostats/understanding-thermostat-concepts/set-points) specified in the climate preset that you've activated. You can configure a [webhook](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/developer-tools/webhooks) to watch for this event.

## Activate a Climate Preset

To activate a climate preset, issue a [`/thermostats/activate_climate_preset`](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/api/thermostats/activate_climate_preset) request and specify the `climate_preset_key` of the desired climate preset.

## Poll the Action Attempt

Activating a climate preset returns an [action attempt](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/core-concepts/action-attempts). Use the `action_attempt_id` from this response to poll the associated action attempt using the [`/action_attempts/get`](https://docs.seam.co/latest/~/revisions/DFdrUdS2jQOnbJTNDT5a/api/action_attempts/get) request. When the activation completes successfully, the `status` of the action attempt changes to `success`.
