Haha yes placement of thermostats are crucial and even in commercial projects they are sometimes placed in the wrong areas. Maybe you can have it relocated if it is not too much work.I have dual units. One for upstairs the other for downstairs. Unfortunately the downstairs unit utilizes the cathedral ceiling vents which then blow directly onto the upstairs thermostat. Why it was designed like that miffs me. Who cares what the temperature is in the hallway? It should have been placed in the master bedroom. Anyway, I have to play the two off each other so upstairs I set at 70 and downstairs at 68. Summer is 74 upstairs and usually 72-73 downstairs.

I have to do the exact same thing. The downstairs thermostat is mounted in the foyer hallway. The vent for the foyer is hooked to the UPSTAIRS HVAC unit! The foyer has a 10' or 11' ceiling at the entrance that sores up to 18'. Talk about a nightmare trying to get the house at correct/comfortable temps! I have to run the upstairs hotter than downstairs in winter, otherwise the foyer would be cold all the time and the downstairs HVAC would run constantly because it's essentially getting no airflow from its vents. Whomever thought that was a good design should've been fired.
It took 3 years to figure out the right temps and configurations to get this damned house comfortable! I tried keeping the heat at 69* in winter, but it would just be too damned cold all the time. The thermostats have a recirculate feature that can keep the air "fresh" inside the house. Turns out cycling the air was doing more harm than good. It would either cool off the air you just heated or warm up the air you just cooled. Finally figured out that I needed to turn off the recirculating and set upstairs hotter in winter (which is completely opposite to most homes).
It's true what they say. Cathedral-like ceilings are nice to look at, but they're a PITA and cost a fortune to heat.
72F 365 days a year.Mine's programmable. 60 from 9:00 pm to 4:30 am. 68 from 4:30 am to 6:00 am. 60 from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm then 66 from 4:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
Go be poor somewhere else.
