Amazon Smart Thermostat Cycle Rate / Anticipator Configuration Issue

Thermostat frequently overshoots set temperature (room gets too hot or too cold before system shuts off)

Possible Causes

Incorrect system type selected (heat pump vs conventional), Aggressive cycle settings, Poor thermostat placement causing delayed sensing

Note: This is usually a configuration/placement issue.

Verify system configuration: In the Alexa app, confirm the correct system type (heat pump vs conventional) and number of stages are selected.
Adjust cycle settings (if available): Reduce the number of cycles per hour or enable comfort-oriented settings.
Improve placement: Ensure the thermostat is in a representative location for the home, away from drafts and heat sources.
