The description says "Automatically Changes between Heat and Cool" but the first question says you have to change heat/cool manually. Which is it?

Both! You can set it to change automatically between heat and cool, or you can force it to change to whichever one you want. I've always done it manually, because such a changeover often occurs when the temperatures outside/inside don't require EITHER heat or cool, so I just wait until I feel the need for heating or cooling. Hope this helps.

I do not use the "Auto" feature in my church application because we are only there a few times a week, so I can't tell you how well the feature works. However when set on the "Auto" mode it is supposed to switch back and forth from heat to cool. It can also be set in the "Heat" only or "Cool" only mode. I have had two of these for 5 years or more, and purchased 2 more about 2 years ago when we added to our church. I like them.Dean

If you don't have it set to auto (the thermostat uses your settings to determine what to turn on), you can have the heat and cool settings over lap any why you would like. You would just have to manually change what the thermostat does from heat to cool.

The RCS Z-Wave Communicating Thermostat does indeed automatically switches from heat to cool. Basically, you will set a temperature to start heating and likewise a temperature to start cooling. For example, whatever heating temperature you want to maintain, set the start heat (such as 68 degrees) and whatever cooling temperature you want to maintain, set the start cool temperature (such as 76 degrees).

I have the battery powered version of this. But I assume it works same as the battery version which does auto switch from heat to cool mode.

you have 2 screens one for fan to set it to on or auto. The other for heat or cool. Set either one to a temp that will make sure it won't come on and the fan to on and it will run continuously.

Yes, you can program this to automatically switch between cool and heat, or not........ As to the re-design, as far as I know this is the latest product........ By the way, this is everything that it states - I have no complaints with this at all....... I'm extremely happy with this - I'm please to tell you that one of the blogs stated that you cannot dim the display at night, well you can select an auto dimming function that darkens the display after 30 seconds...... :-)

Once you set the temp., it remains at that set temperature until you change it.Even after you turn it off and then on again.

Yes. From the manual 37 69-2814EFS-03, Auto changeover: This feature is used in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system is set to Automatic, the thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature. Heat and cool settings must be at least 3 degrees apart. The thermostat will automatically adjust settings to maintain this 3-degree separation. Note: Select Auto Changeover on the Heating and Cooling System Changeoverscreen under Advanced Preferences. See "Setting advanced preferences" on page 38. Yes.

Hello Julia... it is. This is a power saving feature. The AC gears up until it reaches your desired temperature and it gears down to save energy. After the cool down it gears up again to regain the temperature. Greetings.

Once set up, it has a button to go from off, heat, or cool - you tell it what you want. I don't think any device has an "auto" function like you want, you still have to tell it what your doing.

Mine remembers the last used temp. I don't change that much. I altered one of the presets slightly for my favorite temp, although don't recall that I made it the startup default. But it pops up to that temp everytime I turn it on. Just checked it again for you simply altering it on the fly, turned off, and it popped right back to the new (last set) temp. Fine unit; don't know what I did without it.

Cindy L gave exactly correct info. The only thing I would add is that the adjusting temperature with the handle (at least as mine is set up) only applies to manual operation. The auto on is adjusted on the under counter control and primarily uses "hot".

not sure why this thread looks like it is complicated when it is very simple, I click login on my phone, select the system tab at the bottom and the options are HEAT / COOL / AUTO / OFF the auto setting allows you to select the AC or heat settings and if you change either then it is smart enough to keep at least a 3 degree buffer so they do not step on each other. Its extremely simple maybe others do not have it connected to wifi but i use my phone when i am 10 steps away! it is so simple to login then change the number using arrows... 2 clicks and done.

Yes, you can. There are 4 tabs along the top of the screen. Under the System tab, your options are: Heat; Cool; Off. Unfortunately, the auto changeover capability is not controlled here. Rather, you have to go to the Menu tab and drill way down, as follows: Menu/Preferences/Advanced Preferences/Heating and Cooling System Changeover. When you get to this screen, your options are: Manual; Automatic. This is where you control the auto changeover between heat and cool. My guess is that Honeywell has buried this capability so deep that many owners have not found it. My recommendation to Honeywell would be to put a checkbox right in the System tab to allow auto changeover or not, at the owner's discretion.

You have to press the button. It's above the "on" button. Press it until u have your desired heat setting.

Don't confuse the fan switch with the internal program mode of Heat vs Cool. The external fan switch acts like any old dumb thermostat. I do believe that you can read instructions on how to have it switch between Heat /Cool but it requires a 3 degree difference in the numbers for heat and cool. Myself I like to have the heat temperature be almost the same as cool temperature so I have not tried that feature. NOTE: You will have to carefully read and follow instructions. ( I really like this thermostat but haven't tried that feature)
