A bit of a new way of thinking:

!!! Alright... at the end of the day, I'm just trying to keep the HVAC from running too long at once, because that might be a sign of an error of any kind. I think cooling mode running for more than 60 minutes is a strange event. The "are temps changing" values are interesting for log-watching but there are just too many variables to allow them to shut off the air conditioner.

As to why LK's room is struggling... on the hottest days, maybe her vent needs to be opened wider.

Settling on this:

If >60 minute runtime, send a notification and turn on fan-only. Done (for now).
