Does autopilot override your temp settings?

Just got my pod setup and the first night was ok...mostly worked the way I wanted except when it increased my temp at wakeup earlier than expected. Chalked that up to operator error (although I don't think I set it up that way).

Now tonight, here I am awake in the middle of the night too hot because it increased the temp higher than where I set it (all the way up to the wake up temp from yesterday). I guess I know for sure what wakes me up!

So, can autopilot ignore my temp settings and do what it wants? If I turn autopilot off, will it just maintain my settings?

I'm already a bad sleeper...this is making it worse.
