Thermostat short cycles the HVAC system, turning it on and off frequently within a few minutes.

Safety: Configuration changes only; no wiring work required.

• Step 1 – Adjust differential: In advanced settings, increase the temperature differential (swing) so the system runs longer but less often.
• Step 2 – Reduce cycles per hour: Set a lower cycles‑per‑hour value appropriate for your system type (e.g., 3 CPH for conventional heat, 2 CPH for heat pump).
• Step 3 – Check location: Make sure the thermostat is not directly in the path of supply air. If it is, redirect the register or relocate the thermostat.
• Step 4 – Monitor operation: After adjustments, observe system behavior over several hours to confirm reduced cycling.
