How to set deadband of themostat setpoint

Hello

I am trying to simulate the thermal load of a high-rise residence and I encountered a problem about thermostat setpoint in energyplus. The cooling setpoint should be 26 Celsius, while there is a three Celsus deadband of setpoint to turn on air conditioning. That means people will not turn on the air conditioning until indoor air temperature exceeding 29Celsus. Once they turn on the air conditioning, the indoor temperature will be maintained at 26 Celsius.

I checked the object ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint and ZoneControl:Thermostat:StagedDualSetpoint in input-output-reference but it seems not working. I am so appreciated if anyone could provide any help.
