Hi, I'm using the Thermostat Scheduler to set heating/cooling points throughout the day and it's worked very well. I saw there's a Thermostat Controller app, with a hysteresis setting.
From what I understand is kind of like the "swing" setting on my old Iris radio thermostat I used to use in our previous house. It would basically have the temperature swing more and prevent a bit of short cycling of the HVAC. If I set the temp to 68°, with a swing of 2°, it wouldn't trigger the furnace to run until the thermostat sees 67° and then stop running when it reaches 69°.
My newer Honeywell T6 seems to be very sensitive to temp changes, and seems to run when the temp drops 0.5°, and there's no other settings on it to change this.
I tried enabling the hysteresis setting at 3°, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I save the setting. Anyone have any idea why? I appreciate the help!
No, you can use both together. Bear in mind that Thermostat Controller basically lobotomizes your thermostat. By doing that, it should gain control over hysteresis.
I didn't realize using the "Thermostat Controller" app, it creates a new device? I tried controlling the hysteresis setting from there and it still doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for.
I've never used Thermostat Controller, but the T6 does not use swing, it uses cycles per hour. You can set it within the thermostat config. The install manual gives some example values, but you can set it to your liking. (Not sure if it's touchable from the community driver or not.)
