But if you switch to heat mode, the setpoint becomes 23C?
If that is true, then they force the cool setpoint to be a higher temp for some reason? So in the winter, the house will be cozy, then too hot in the summer?
Bottom line: How do you actually maintain a single steady setpoint temperature regardless of season or mode, without human input/adjustment?
