Default thermostat with adjustable hysteresis?

Is there a programmable thermostat (for furnace) that allows the
hysteresis to be changed from the front panel, using keys and display?


E.g. turn on at 65 degree and turn off at 66 degree


Or, maintain temp at 65 with X number of on/off cycle per hour


I need something more flexible and easier to use. Any suggestions?


If you asked 99.9% of homeowners what hysteresis or deadband is they would
give a blank stare. *I've never seen a programmable stat that advertises a
feature like that.


yeah, and that's probably something that the average homeowner
shouldn't be allowed to adjust unless you want to give the customer
service people headaches.
like the OP says, that generally seems to be an internal adjustment,
rather than front panel, since it's something that doesn't usually
need to be adjusted too often.
