- A: AnswerYou can use the fan or “g” wire to Power it.
Answered by TVannouncer
Q: QuestionWhat are installation instructions & wiring requirements?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYou will need to have a "C" wire in order to use this. If you do not have one, there are additional instructions on how to wire it and it includes the wire you can use to jump it in your thermostat. If you have minor DIY skills, you should have no problem with the installation.Answered by TechFan
- A: AnswerHi there! The Honeywell Smart Color Thermostat does have the ability to be setup for Auto Changeover; this will allow the thermostat to turn on heating or cooling as needed based on your schedule setup. However, the heating and cooling set points must be at least three degrees apart and the heating set point is unable to be set above the cooling set point. So for your example, if your cooling set point is 72 degrees, you would only be able to set your heating set point to 69 or lower. To answer your question, this thermostat will not turn your heat on to bring your home up to the 78 degree set point you have chosen for the next scheduled period. It will allow the house to naturally get that warm if it is able to, and if it does, the thermostat will turn your cooling on to maintain the 78 degrees if necessary. I hope this helps!
Answered by Honeywell Support
Q: QuestionHow can I determine if I have the "C" wire? Do I have to remove the existing thermostat?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYou will need to remove your old thermostat to determine if you have a C wire. Just because it's there don't assume it's real. You will need your system powered on to test. You need to CAREFULLY, using a volt meter set on AC, measure the voltage between the R ( could be RC in some cases) wire and the C wire. You should see 24 Vac. It could be as high as 29 Vac when nothing is running, and nothing will be with your thermostat removed. If you have the voltage then the C wire is real and you can continue. If not consider having your system updated to include it.Answered by BradleyFl
Q: QuestionMy RTH9585WF thermostat will not go above 77 degrees(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi Doug! This Smart Color WiFi Thermostat has temperature limits that you will be able to adjust by going to Settings> Preferences> Advanced Preferences, then press 'Next' until you see "Temperature Limits". You can adjust the Range Stop by pressing the up/down arrow for heat and cool and then you have to press 'Done' and select 'Yes" to save the changes. Have a great weekend!Answered by Honeywell Support
- A: AnswerYou will need to confirm if you have a common wire or not. You can not tell simply by the thermostat needing batteries or not. Some thermostats used the batteries for display illumination or to hold the program memory in case of a power outage.
Answered by TonyM
Q: QuestionDoes this thermostat change automatically from heat to cool or cool to heat?(1 answer)
A: AnswerYes, but you have to enable Automatic changeover in the Advanced Preferences screen as this feature is off right out of the box.Answered by Richardyc
- A: AnswerHoneywell RTH9585WF wirelessly connected to my home Wi-Fi network just like a tablet or laptop. No additional modules were required.

Good thermostat for a vacation home.
I really like the way this thermostat is laid out and how it functions. I purchased it for a family vacation home. It allows me to easily check the temperature in the house and change it as required remotely. I like that it can be changed to a schedule when the house is occupied and a static temperature when it's unoccupied. I do wish there was a temperature spread mode that could switch between Cool and Heat automatically that didn't require using the schedule but it is easy enough to just check the app and make changes as required. The app is quite easy to use once you become familiar with it. If you want to get more info at a glance, you can go to the website. The website makes programming a schedule much easier. There is also a way to allow others to access the account so my family members can set temps before they arrive at the house. The display indicates not only indoor temperature, it also indicates the outdoor temperature as well as indoor/outdoor humidity. It was fairly easy to install, however, the video and instructions explaining the onscreen setup didn't match what was on our screen 100%. There was an extra question regarding the efficiency of our fan unit. Our fan unit is over 20 yrs old and there was no efficiency rating on the unit that I could find. I also couldn't find the manual online. So I had to guess that it was under 90% efficient. Additionally, the touch screen is not very responsive. Sometimes it takes 3-5 pokes of the screen to get a touch to register. That is my biggest issue with this thing. I really like the larger always-on screen. I use a Nest thermostat in my office and like the look of the Honeywell and the info it provides better than the minimalis Nest display. It is also easier for my elderly father to operate. The Honeywell was also $50 less expensive than the Nest when I made my purchase. All in all I would recommend it. Especially to people who are already familiar with Honeywell thermostats like me.

Nice choice
As Honeywell was the original product, we decided not to get absorbed with all the hype (Ecobee or Nest) and stay with the original and upgrade. Simple features, plate fits closely to the wall where others extend out. Clean and illuminated. Works like the previous version, only has app features. TIPS: remove the previous thermostat and confirm if you have a "C" wire connector. VERY important. Wires are simple to install but take your time to identify precisely which coincide to the proper location. TAKE A PHOTO BEFORE YOU BEGIN REMOVING ANY WIRES! (for reference). Also, be sure you are able to identify the specific unit you currently have; either heat pump or forced air. This will be important when programming your unit otherwise it will not operate correctly. Forget the Tech Support; time consuming and it seems they try to read from information they have available. Although polite, would not consider them any more savy than you are (consider YouTube if you need help). Very pleased with this unit and at a cost savings price from other units!

Easy and simple
Easy to install, very simplistic, easy to schedule, only issue was trying to figure out how to get the device to follow the schedule. I read the instructions multiple times, watched videos multiple times, then finally found where you take off the permanent hold for the device to follow the schedule. Since then everything works great. Love that I can use my phone to control.
