This room was switched to a remote thermostat that I rate a zero. It is either off or on, no mode control. If you had the room warmer than currently desired, and dial the number down, it switches into cooling mode. Extremely inefficient and the last thing you want in the winter. I ended up turning it off at bedtime when I wanted it at 68. The proper thermostat, or this one programmed correctly, should be used. Mode should be set to non-auto if available.
