Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.

Does it turn off at the near or far end of that range?

What I mean is, if it were 76 and your cooling turned on, would it shut off at 75 or at 68?

It would shut off at 75. If I wanted it to shut off at 68, I'd set both numbers to 68.

Doesn't that do the exact same thing as just setting it to 75 for cooling, and 68 for heating?

The 68 does nothing if AC is on, and the 75 does nothing if heat is on.
