I like that...
If I use it as a heating only unit, I'll want to have the heater ON during my heating season. And depending on the non-activated state of the 4-way (probably A/C mode by default), I could either permanently activate it, or leave it permanently de-activated. That would leave just the compressor & fan to control. However, I would still need to include a time-delay because since I'm bypassing the brain chip, it probably has no delay circuit.
