Heating & Cooling Targets
Your Heating and Cooling targets are derived from your day/night temperature SET POINTS and your set rules under advance settings.
Under Advanced tab check "RULES", the following rules will influence both heating and cooling targets:
Heating offset from temperature set point (used to ensure heater and fans do not operate simultaneously):
A negative number will need to be entered to lower the heating target (recommended to have a gap between heating and cooling setpoint).
A positive number will need to be entered to increase the heating target (run risk of heating setpoint to be greater than cooling).
If RH high then lower cooling temperature setpoint by up to < X >
If RH is high, your cooling setpoint will decrease by X amount, run the risk of having your heating setpoint to to be greater than cooling setpoint, if heating offset option value is not larger than X value,
If RH high then raise heating temperature setpoint by up to < X >
If RH is high, your heating setpoint will increase by X amount, run the risk of having your heating setpoint to to be greater than cooling setpoint, if heating offset option value is not larger than X value,
Under Advanced tab check "Switching offsets from calculated targets":
Heating and Cooling AIR TEMP TARGET will be the same value as your Day Temp, if none of the advance rules are active and no "Heating offset from temperature set point" value has been placed.
Example shown below:
Day Temp set to 68F
Advance rules set:
Heating offset to: -5F
RH high then lower cooling: 3F
RH high then raise heating: 0F
My cooling and heating targets will be:
When RH not high:
Cooling target: 68F (same as Day Temp)
Heating target:68F-5F (heating offset) =63F
When RH high:
Cooling target: 68F-3F=65F
Heating target:68F-5F (heating offset) =63F
Under the Advance tab:
Your Fans and Air Conditioner Switching Offsets are based off Cooling Target
Your heater Switching Offsets are based off Heating Target
The ON and OFF values selected here will be used additionally for your deadband (min-max range difference between Fans/Air-Conditioner and Heater switching on/off).
