You can't set a temperature range, like "keep my house between 65 and 70"? So when it's cold it would heat to 65, when it's hot it would cool to 70, and between 65-70 it would do nothing? That's not very smart..seems like the most basic thing they should be able to handle.

I can set a range but it's been my experience that in the "summer" I need to set it to 65 cool-only. and the in "winter" I need to set it to 65 heat-only. Fall and spring are hell and I have to check the temp to know where to set it. Ranges suck and are a carryover from the old tech, I want my house to be 65, this should be possible.

I think humidity is playing a part in it but I don't want my house to get up to 70 so setting 60-70 isn't going to work and likewise, no matter the season, I don't want it to get down to 60 unless it's at night.

Oh I see what you're saying. So you always want 65, but if you put it on auto the heat will end up turning on in the summer?

Yes, and it's bad in the spring/fall when one day might be in the 40's and the next in the 80's, I have to micro-manage the thermostat or deal with the house fluctuating between 60-70 which I dislike. It's subtle but I'll either constantly feel a little too warm or I'll be too chilly.

I've dialed it in so I know I love 65F, that's what I want my "smart" thermostat to facilitate.
