cool setpoint would be set to 72. While the temperature is within this range nothing is done. Once the
temperature falls outside this range the system takes action and switches to the appropriate mode.
5. Humidify/Dehumidify: Some systems can maintain the humidity level within a certain range. These are
similar to temperature setpoints except instead of temperature control equipment the system is controlling
humidify and dehumidify equipment.
Command Interface - SEND_COMMANDs
Various system wide operations may be performed by the NetLinx program via SEND_COMMANDs sent to
the virtual device controlling the thermostats.
