   Just an idea: you can use two thermostats and mechanical 24 hour timer to   
   switch them. Something like that: https://www.theben.de/en/syn-161-d-1610011   
   Timers can be different, with different outputs (output relay ty   
   e/voltage/current, etc), this is just    
   an example. If you do not need precision time keeping on power loss, it's   
   preferable to use a timer without battery (no potential battery leaking out).   
   I do not know your schematics and may be any safety limits, so it's just an   
   idea.
