What does equipment stage control mean on Cielo Smart Thermostat Eco?

When equipment stage control is turned on, the thermostat will gradually decrease its operation from higher stages as it gets closer to the desired temperature. Initially, the HVAC equipment begins operating in stage 1, when the temperature difference for stage 1 goes beyond the specified threshold, the second stage will activate. After the equipment restores the current temperature within the designated range, stage 2 disengages, and stage 1 continues running until the set point is achieved.
