Does unit have an auto mode to switch between cool and heat automatically?

No!!! Even if it worked, which it doesn't, since it is the biggest piece or crap I have ever wasted my money on, by design you are supposed to shut down the unit and wait for 5 minutes between heating and cooling mode, so there is no way that it can be set to maintain a constant temperature automatically when doing so calls for both heating and cooling at different times of day. I implore you though, do not waste your hard-earned cash on this piece of junk or anything made by this manufacturer. After giving up on this miserable excuse for machinery, I bought a SOLEUS unit for roughly the same price (refurbished, but in perfect shape), and it has been heating and cooling reliably for two years now. To be fair, that unit also will not swap automatically between heating and cooling. These are heat pumps, and they essentially need to change their "plumbing" to go from one mode to the other. To cool your room, it works like a refrigerator, extracting energy from your room and rejecting it to the outside air; to heat your room, it has to "flip" so that it is refrigerating the outside air, extracting heat from the outside and rejecting it INTO your room. In both cases, of course, making heat flow from a lower temperature to a higher one is not natural, and it takes electrical energy, and in both cases that electric energy gets converted into more heat, which winds up outdoors in cooling mode or indoors in heating mode. More expensive whole-house heat pumps are able to shift automatically between heating and cooling, but even they take a few minutes to do so.

No...manual switch required. Has a timer setting, thermostat and fan speed, but stays in mode selected.

Yes, but it must be configured to do so. If you see only "heat/cool/off" in the mode screen, then press "fan" and "up" simultaneously. When the screen changes, press "next" until you reach option 12. Setting "0" enables "heat/cool/off" in the mode screen, while setting"1" enables "heat/cool/auto/off." Setting "3" is "auto/off" only. When you press "done," your mode screen will show the option you selected. FYI: In "auto" mode, the "heat" temperature at any time must always be at least 3 degrees less than the "cool" temperature.

As others have stated, the thermostat DOES indeed have auto-change over. It's not enabled by default. You have to go to the thermostat itself, select "Preferences" > "Advanced Preferences" and you will see it in there. Once I did that, I now have Auto change over for Heat/Cool, on both the thermostat and the App.

Not auto but you can remotely change it manually on the mobile app. Plus you can change it on the thermostat itself. I am very happy with it, but make sure you have a C wire.

No for the fan alone. But it does have options for System: Cool, Heat, Em(ergency) Heat, Auto and Off. So if you don't want the fan to run, you'll need to turn the system off.

Yes there are dual controllers that also allow independent auto off or stay on as well as independent temperature setting.

No, this is not a programmable unit. This model has 3 settings - High, Low and Warm. The settings must be selected manually and the unit will remain on until you turn it off.

There is no auto switch, the hot air must be turned off manually. This is a solid station, well built and very durable! All the included accessories is a great added bonus. I have had mine for awhile now and it gets used weekly. The unit still works great and I have been very pleased ;)

Yes, you can program this to automatically switch between cool and heat, or not........ As to the re-design, as far as I know this is the latest product........ By the way, this is everything that it states - I have no complaints with this at all....... I'm extremely happy with this - I'm please to tell you that one of the blogs stated that you cannot dim the display at night, well you can select an auto dimming function that darkens the display after 30 seconds...... :-)

No it does not turn off automatically. It has a cool, warm, hot and off setting.

You can manually turn on and off the fan if you wish, without heat or cool being activated. But there is no way to program it to turn on ONLY the fan. You set high and low temps within each of the four programming times of day and the start and end times of those time frames. It will not turn on the fan automatically without heating or cooling. It does a great job and you can program the four time frames differently for each day of the week, if you wish. We love it and have two of them.

The system functions are heat. cool. off. The fan is auto or off. I am very pleased with my thermostats.

The stat has a digital section that allows you 3 options, "turn on heat OR cool OR off" independently with the push on the screen. Another section allows you to turn on the fan automatically to maintain the temp entered OR the fan on always OR off totally. You can also set a schedule to have the heat/cool come on at certain times and days. Hope this helps.

There is just an on and off button, no heat settings. There is also no auto off feature, you need to make sure to shut if off. It does work great though!

You can turn the fan on and off manually and you can turn it to heat manually but then it will automatically shut itself off when the room is warm and then turn back on as the room cools.

Yes, as long as you have pre-set both the heat and a/c temps then put it on 'auto'. I love this about this thermostat since I don't have to turn on the heat or a/c separatelyJust be sure to follow the directions, it's pretty simple to do. Best thermostat we've ever had!!!

No, this unit does not have an off/on switch. There is, however, a temp. control dial.
