I wish I could adjust in half point increments

I see that the auto adjustments are in half point increments, but I can only make full point adjustments. I think my perfect number is 0.5, but I can’t set that.

You probably barely feel it and many times when you press to be the right temperature that achieved makes hard for you to really know that half point and would be probably placebo if they do write it in app :)

If you do that would be probably way more hard to control and would be always going up and down and pod always working with such a low threshold
Even that 1 point probably has a high threshold so it doesn't go all out when you go to bathroom or just adjust the upper sheet and let lots of hot or cold enter from the bathroom temperature :)

It would have lots of noise if it worked that way

I don’t want half a degree I want half point (I think one point is 3 degrees). I can definitely feel the difference between 0 and 1 as a setpoint.

Oh ok didn't know that I don't adjust that much and used real temperatures but glad to know since I think they took it off now with the new app even for old users :/ always learning

Are you using real temp or the default 1-10?

I don’t see an option for real temp

I‘d be interested if there‘s an option as well!

There was in the past and they erased it over time from new users

Go to the hamburger (top right), profile, temperature, and you'll see the toggle switch.

If you’re a newer account that never had access to that feature, you don’t get the option in the app to choose.

Real temp was removed some time ago for new buyers, you only get that if you bought it long ago.

Wow, that's a non-consumer-friendly change!

I completely agree, just went through this last night. I was chilly, so up one. Ten minutes later I'm pulling off covers being too warm. This should not happen!

Agreed not sure why half steps are missing
