-- Single Setpoint
+- **Single Setpoint**:
   - Uses `setpoint`, `diff`, and `anticipator`.
   - Sets `above` if `input > setpoint + diff/2`, clears when `input < setpoint + anticipator`.
   - Sets `below` if `input < setpoint - diff/2`, clears when `input > setpoint - anticipator`.
-  - For positive `anticipator`, stops early to prevent overshoot. For negative `anticipator`, delays turn-off to overshoot setpoint, lengthen runtime, or straddle setpoint.
+  - For positive `anticipator`, stops early to prevent overshoot. For negative `anticipator` (testing only), delays turn-off to overshoot setpoint.
+  - Example: `setpoint=70`, `diff=2`, `anticipator=-0.5`, `above` if `input > 71`, clears at `< 69.5` (overshoots); `below` if `input < 69`, clears at `> 70.5` (overshoots).
 
-- Split Setpoint
+- **Split Setpoint**:
   - Uses `heatingSetpoint`, `coolingSetpoint`, `diff`, and `anticipator`.
-  - For `isHeating = true`
+  - For `isHeating = true`:
     - Sets `below` if `input < heatingSetpoint - diff/2`, clears when `input > heatingSetpoint - anticipator`.
     - `above` is `false`.
-  - For `isHeating = false`
+  - For `isHeating = false`:
     - Sets `above` if `input > coolingSetpoint + diff/2`, clears when `input < coolingSetpoint + anticipator`.
     - `below` is `false`.
   - Ensures `heatingSetpoint < coolingSetpoint`.
+  - For negative `anticipator`, delays turn-off (e.g., heating off above `heatingSetpoint`).
+  - Example: `heatingSetpoint=68`, `coolingSetpoint=74`, `diff=2`, `anticipator=-0.5`, heating mode sets `below` if `input < 67`, clears at `> 68.5`; cooling mode sets `above` if `input > 75`, clears at `< 73.5`.

+- **Specified Setpoint**:
   - Uses `coolingOn`, `coolingOff`, `heatingOff`, `heatingOn`, and `anticipator`.
-  - For `isHeating = false`
+  - For `isHeating = false`:

+  - For `isHeating = true`:
     - Sets `below` if `input < heatingOn`, clears when `input > heatingOff - anticipator`.
     - `above` is `false`.
   - Validates `coolingOn >= coolingOff >= heatingOff >= heatingOn`.
+  - For negative `anticipator`, delays turn-off (e.g., heating off above `heatingOff`).
+  - Example: `coolingOn=74`, `coolingOff=72`, `heatingOff=68`, `heatingOn=66`, `anticipator=-0.5`, cooling mode sets `above` if `input > 74`, clears at `< 71.5`; heating mode sets `below` if `input < 66`, clears at `> 68.5`.
 
 ### Details
 Compares a numeric temperature input (`msg.payload`) against setpoints to control heating or cooling. 
 
 The `differential` (`diff`) applies to the `single` and `split` setpoint algorithms, providing hysteresis. 
 
-The `anticipator` adjusts turn-off points. Positive values stop early to prevent overshoot (subtracts for heating, adds for cooling); 
+The `anticipator` adjusts turn-off points: positive values stop early to prevent overshoot (subtracts for heating, adds for cooling); 
+negative values (allowed for testing, >= -2) delay turn-off to overshoot setpoint. 
 
 The `isHeating` flag (typically from a changeover node) sets output 1 and selects the active setpoint(s).
 
-The `ignoreAnticipatorCycles` setting allows ignoring the anticipator for a specified number of cycles after a mode change to reduce short-cycling due to latent heat effects.

 ### Status
-- Green (dot): Configuration update
-- Blue (dot): State changed
-- Blue (ring): State unchanged
-- Red (ring): Error
-- Yellow (ring): Warning
+- Green (dot): Configuration updates (e.g., `setpoint: 70.0`, `anticipator: 0.5`, `isHeating: true`).
+- Blue (dot): Outputs when state changes (e.g., `in: 65.00, out: heating, above: false, below: true`).
+- Blue (ring): Outputs when state unchanged (e.g., `in: 66.00, out: heating, above: false, below: true`).
+- Red (ring): Errors (e.g., `missing input`, `invalid coolingOff`, `invalid diff, using 2`).
+- Yellow (ring): Warnings (e.g., `unknown context`).
