Interaction between Thermostat Controller and Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave + 2 Stage Heatpump

Just dropping a related thread...

Looking for a Honeywell thermostat configuration genius/guru

My 2-stage heat-pump is controlled by a Honeywell T6 pro z-wave thermostat. I'm generally happy with it, but would like to make one change. Right now, the heat-pump (in both heating and cooling modes) comes on in Stage 1, and exactly a minute later switches to Stage 2. After running in Stage 2 for a while, it goes back to Stage 1, and then turns off. An example of this is seen in the profile below (from a Sense energy meter) - I have annotated the relevant portions. [Screen Shot 2021-12-11 at…
