Dehumidify: To reduce the amount of moisture in the air.
Differential: The forced temperature difference between the heat setpoint and the cool setpoint.
Heat Setpoint: The coolest temperature that the space should drop to before heating is turned on (without regards to deadband).
Humidify: To increase the amount of moisture in the air.
Icon: The word or symbol that appears on the thermostat display.
Mode: The current operating condition of the thermostat (i.e. Off, Heat, Cool, Auto, Program On).
