Thermostat for steam boiler

Everything I've read on this forum says I should set my thermostat for 1 cycle per hour minimum. Someone recommended the Honeywell TH1110E1000. I looked at the manual on line and there is nothing about setting the cycles per hour. I only have steam heat. I installed mini-splits for AC, each room has it's on thermostat. What thermostat should I be using?

    As far as I can make out, that thermostat has no provision for use with anything other than a heat pump. I like the simple round T87 thermostats, but there are a number of others both from Honeywell/Residio which work.

    You probably don't set it for a certain CPH, you probably set it for "steam" or whatever. It seems to have different settings for these different technologies:
