Honeywell Home - Smart Thermostat with Wi-Fi Capability - Silver

I originally purchased the ecobee3 before going with the Honeywell. The ecobee3 was never accurate, when it came to temperature readings. I am convinced of the fact that, since the thermostat unit of the ecobee3 got unusually warm, this threw off the temp readings. I did purchase it due to its home integration and learning capabilities, but it does take a long time to learn and no one house is built the same. So I decided to purchase and stick with the Honeywell and am so glad I did. This thermostat has all of the features of the others, with the exception of the learning aspect. Honeywell still has home integration features, scheduling, wi-fi, color touchscreen, great aesthetics and it is very simple to operate. The free Honeywell downloadable App is seamless, simple and works great, literally from anywhere. If you are looking to replace an old thermostat, I highly suggest the Honeywell. Caution, you need to make sure that your current thermostat wire consists of at least 4 wires, which will include the needed common wire, to power the thermostat. My home was not equipped with this, but it was a cinch to replace my old 3 wire cable with 4 wire cable. You can purchase thermostat wire at your local home depot or lowes, by the foot, for about $.20/ft.

I bought this last night for my house built in 1993. Unfortunately they only had wires: R W G Y and RC. NO C WIRE! My HVAC had it but I was am not fishing new wires through the wall until I get a new HVAC. Solution? From the furnace remove the G wire and screw it into the C terminal. Then run a jumper wire from the G terminal on the furnace to the Y terminal. You lose the "fan" function, but you DON'T need it at all! The jumper turns the fan on for HEAT or AC. Problem solved. Enjoy it. Hope this helps people with older systems. This DOES work with Alexa, be sure to add the "Honeywell Total Control" skill. MAKE SURE YOU NAME IT SOMETHING IDEAL. I left mine as "Thermostat". Then you simply say: "Alexa, turn the THERMOSTAT up 2 degrees". Remember to replace "THERMOSTAT" with whatever you named it.

I had a non wifi honeywell thermostat. I looked into honeywell smart , nest and ecobee . Everyone has its pros and cons. Rounded up on Honeywell. As seen on the box one can change lots of colors, doesn't require any battery ever. I didn't have to change the base plate of the old thermostat. The total time taken was,literally 15 minutes because it was my first time ever of changing a thermostat. The next one should not take more than 10 minutes (I have 2 more to change). connected it to Samsung smart hub, and Alexa. We can change the temperature on the smart app over the phone. Impostant - Always take pictures from the cellphone before doing any DIY

Easy to install, I have a heat pump and with a little searching through the installation guide, was able to find the proper way to wire it. The programming is even easier, the system walks you through your wake , leave, and sleep times , simply adjust temps on each one and done!!! Installed the app on both my wife and My phones in minutes, it's so nice to be able to adjust the temp from my phone , oh and the different colors are a nice touch

I live alone and I been really wanting a Thermostat to make sure my home is comfortable when I get home from work! Plus I have two pets and sometimes I was in a hurry and forgot to set the temps to make sure they didn't have to suffer too much from the heat or cold. I didn't realize that I needed a powered wire before I purchased this to see the display. I didn't realize that the powered output was already on my 1985 furnace it just wasn’t wired from my furnace to my pre-existing thermostat. I first ordered a wall plug meant to mimic the C-Wire (Common Wire/Clock Wire) wattage that I was going to just plug into the Honeywell - Smart Thermostat by punching a hole on the opposite side of the wall.. I then decided to call a contractor and they suggested I DYI by moving the Thermostat to a closer location to my Furnace and just route new wires by myself and put the Thermostat outside that wall so I went to Home Depot got about 6 Ft of a 5 strand multi wire. Cut the power, punched a hole in the wall, drilled two holes and wired it in was simple enough! No I just have to remove the old thermostat and patch and paint the wall… Now if only I wasn’t so lazy.

Very please with my purchase, this is with an addition of new heating and a/c unit. Renovated my grandmother's house that didn't have anything except a furnace and swamp cooler. I love the fact having full control anywhere in regards to the indoor climate and the scheduling is great the fact that the options are endless from sun up to sun down and even when I'm sleeping. I'm usually up around 4:30 in the morning and just one less things I have to do during my whole morning routine, from the time I wake up to the time I'm leaving the house. Then to arrive home with the temp already set to my liking without my unit having to run all day. I am enjoying my new toy a little too much and loving the fact its already saving money on my energy bill; big fan of the silver face plate and options for the background color on the touchscreen. Install is easy but since I was getting a whole new system the contractor I hired installed it. Setup was a breeze to the point even my parents weren't intimated by the title.

Great profuct easy to use. Only downfall is that you have to give up your house fan wire to use as the wifi feature if you have an older thermostat. It is a little smaller than I thought

This the 3rd Honeywell Wi-Fi Thermostat I have purchased. I enjoy all the features. I like the idea of not having to go upstairs to change temp. I can just log in on free app on my phone or tablet. Lot of great features. Programing is very easy.
