TIL my thermostat's schedule mode was overriding everything for 2 months
So I moved into this apartment back in February and I could not figure out why the heat would kick on at 4am every single day. I kept adjusting the temp before bed, you know, dialing it down, but some morning I'd wake up sweating. Finally last week I sat down with the manual for this Honeywell thing and realized the schedule mode was set to something from the previous tenant. It had like 6 different time blocks and I only looked at the main screen. 2 months of confused mornings because I never hit that menu button. Has anyone else fought with a thermostat that just seems to have a mind of its own?

Wait, you're telling me there's a whole schedule mode I've been ignoring?
I did the same thing with my Nest, thought it was broken until I found the hidden menu.
Sneaky little settings messing with our comfort for months.

Oh man, I had the exact same battle with a Honeywell at my last place. I finally gave up and just factory reset the whole thing, then set it up from scratch with my own schedule. It took like 10 minutes and saved me from waking up at 6am in a sauna every day.
