You are dealing with several symptoms and to really understand it might take some research.
1. the temperature sensor (thermostat) is usually located on interior wall.
Meaning in 110F outdoor heat- the wall with sensor might be 68, but exterior wall can be 80F or even >100F.
In 0F outside cold the same 68F internal wall will be paired with external wall at 30-50F while temperatures between the walls will wary.
2. the thermostat switch has cut-in and cut-out temperatures.
For AC you set cut out at 68, but cut in will be about 72F,
The same setting in heating mode will cut-in at 65F
the ones we are talking about here have "remote sensors" they do not register the temperature at the thermostat ( at least the ones I have used don't)
the one iam most familiar with does not cut in at temp A and out at temp B If I set AC for 72 it holds at 72 only warms to about 1 degree above setting and cuts back in
I cant set the AC for a low of 70 and high of 75 (eg)
