#   trigger     : 19:00 local (America/New_York), EVERY day
#   purpose     : Return the thermostat to 74F after the peak window.
#
# Runs daily on purpose (no workday gate): you always want comfort back in the
# evening, weekend or holiday included. It has no external dependencies (no
# weather, no workday sensor), so there is nothing to fall back on — it is a
# plain, robust setpoint write.
#
# v2 (2026-07-09): no behavior change; documented + version-controlled.
