Norwegian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Thermostat
To do with a thermostat night setting. I can't decide whether it's an energy saving function, or a mode to keep the house moderately warm.

automatic setback

Doesn't relate specifically to nights, but at any time where you want the temperature to be lowered. Automatic night setback would perhaps work in this case?

nocturnal adjustment

Besides the fact that the source word is a constructed one, not found in any Norwegian glossaries (although 'nattsenking' might), I'd use my suggestion to refer to a feature that allows users to apply a different temperature setting to the sleepting quarters when they are being used for this purpose. The literal 'night-time lowering' may apply to cooling, heating or energy use, and temperature reduction is by no means a given here.
