The controlled thermostats will be programmed to regulate your home to a specific "power company" controlled temperature, likely 78-degrees.
Set up a small hair dryer, blowing at slow speed, high temperature directly onto the thermostat. The thermostat will record that you have 90-degree + temperature in the house... and will keep the A.C. on full blast, continually trying to cool your home to 78-degrees.
Keep a separate thermometer nearby so YOU can see what your actual temperature is in the house. When it reaches 72-degrees (or whatever you want), then turn off the hair dryer. :>)
A cheaper way to do it - use a small incandescent night light (2-7 watts) or a safe dehumidifying rod (10-20 watts). They make heat, don't make noise, and will get the thermostat reading a very high temperature.
Easy way to combat the problem.
