Profiles are a set of rules or actions pertaining to devices, climate zones, alarms, or scenes that can be activated quickly by the user or a scene. 

There are four default profiles which you can customize to your preferences (Home, Away, Vacation, Night) but you can add more if you want to. You can edit the profile names as well as add or delete profiles. Note that you can’t delete the Home profile as you are required to have at least one active profile at a time. 
 

For example, you can set your Vacation profile to cycle the lights on and off throughout the home on a schedule to simulate a presence in the home. You can set the Night profile to turn off the interior lights and activate your outdoor security lighting, or create a Morning profile to slowly turn on the lights or activate your smart plug to start the coffee brewing.
