=======================

When Autoswitch is disabled (and actually regardless of Autoswitch settings), allow the ability to have a separate schedule/settings for cooling and heating. I know when I went I want A/C or heat - I don’t need that level of automation especially if it means that the unit may switch back and forth between A/C and heat in the same day. Maybe this level of automation is inevitable but at this time I still want to be able to have this level of control.
I had an HP smart thermostat that had the “smarts” to determine that if I wanted the house house to be at a certain temp at a certain time, it would start the hvac prior to that time so that the house was at the desired temp AT that time. Trouble was the learning phase - thermostat would cycle hvac 3-4 hours prior to set time! Had to disable that “feature”. I know that if I want the house at 70 at 7am then I should set the system to come on 6:45am, and if it is a particularly cold day I can deal with the fact that the temp will be reached at 7:04am.
