For the life of me, I can't find where to find this setting despite searching online everywhere, even on Ecobee. It's supposed to be in Thresholds, but I can't find it. Can anyone provide help?

We have that thermostat and it works great. You can set it to just Heat or Cool or Auto. In the Auto mode for example we set the heat side to 70 and the cool side to 76. It seems to work very good. You don’t want those numbers to be too close together as that will not work. If you want to maintain the same temperature no matter what say 75 then you will have to just switch back and forth between Heat and Cool depending on the weather forecast. Right now the weather is a bit crazy where a cold day pops up about once or twice a week. Send me a PM if you need help.
