I want to build a climate control routine that commences if the user confirms - for example, only if I’m coming into the office that day. How do you go about building a program that does this?

Require that a specific virtual switch be on before the automation runs, then have the user turn that switch on in the app. You can even use a virtual momentary switch, sort of like a doorbell button, which turns itself on and then off again immediately so it’s available again for the next time you want to use it. 🕶
