   I set mine at 18 C for winter and 27 C for summer.  I rarely turn it on   
   in summer as it takes three days of high 30's or 40's (C) to warm up   
   enough to require cooling in Melbourne.   
      
   In winter I usually turn it off during the day when at work and manually   
   turn it on in winter when it is cool enough to warrant it.  I could   
   program it to come on in the afternoon to bank solar, but usually am   
   back in time to do so.
