You can set a wider dead band for the un-occupied period.
Heating set point must be lower than the cooling set point, so that they do not overlap.
The dead band may be as little as 0.1°F.
Otherwice, you can set them to any temperature. If I wanted to turn off the cooling completely, I simply set the cooling set point to 98°F for that zone.
If you have water system, you may still need the seasonal control for the plants., so that the water system will be freeze.
