Program a single preferred temperature (the thermostat won't let us set heat to and cool to temperatures closer than 3 degrees - I understand that is necessary to keep the system from over heating so it has to turn on air conditioning only to over cool, and turn heat back on.). With programing I could have it not turn on cooling if the temperature is slightly high IF the system had just been heating and visa versa.
In the grand PLUG tradition of not really answering your question, I'll note that my Nest thermostat has "heat only" and "cool only" modes in addition to "heat/cool".
In "heat only" mode, the AC never kicks in regardless of how hot it is in the house -- and vice-versa for "cool only" mode.
I find those modes much more predictable and energy-efficient than the combined "heat/cool" mode.
I know Nest is a commerical product and that there are privacy concerns. I'm just reporting my experience.
