only revert back if you do so manually

25 Using your Smart Thermostat
When the fan mode is changed, the thermostat will
display the resume button, indicating the system is in
a HOLD. Pressing the Resume button will revert the fan
mode back to the regular programmed fan setting.
Minimum “On” Time This feature allows you to
determine a minimum time per hour that the furnace
fan will run. This results in optimal air circulation and a
more consistent temperature within the home, and is
more cost effective than choosing the On setting.
Current Humidity
Displays the current percentage of humidity in the room
where the Smart Thermostat is installed. Humidity
displays even if your Smart Thermostat has not been
configured to control a humidifier or dehumidifier.
