Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love that this stays on all the time if you want it to. You can set it to go black to if you want to. I like the different colors you can set it to as well. We have an orange wall, and it blends in perfectly with it set to orange as the background color. It was super easy to install. I just took my old thermostat off, and I took a picture of the existing wiring, and then put the new thermostat on and hooked it up exactly like the old one. One little note though. If you have an older system that does not have a c wire then you will have a more complicated install as you need a c wire for this piece. My wall had 6 wires coming out of it so I had no problem. I think people with less than 4 wires will have an issue. I have had it a week now with now problems whatsoever. I have it attached to my google home so I can control it with my voice. You have to download the mytotalconnectcomfort app first though. I can control it through my phone with the honeywell native app, or through google home. The honeywell site did go down one time during the last week for a little bit, but other than that the thermostat, and wifi control has been rock solid.

Easy to install and works as expected. The wifi connection and app provide the functionality we needed.

So, I welcomed the opportunity to receive a complimentary, Honeywell WI-FI Color Smart Thermostat, RTH9585WF, for an honest and practical review.

One phone call and they walked me through the wire connections for my T-Stat. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Even with my phone call my T-Stat was installed out of the box in an hour. I was pleased and impressed.

Touching the Button will Display Instructions to Resolve the 'Alert', Accordingly. * Clean Screen Option Under Settings – Your Touch Screen Will Eventually Need Cleaning, but You Don't Want to Change Any of Your Scheduled Settings – This Will Do That. In my humble opinion I think that the most important settings are the Programmable Daily Wake, Away, Arrive, and Sleep Settings. They allow you to set your T-Stat temperatures back to lower, 'Unoccupied', and, or higher, 'Occupied' temperatures for comfort and $$ Energy-Savings. For example, if you and your wife are away for approximately 10 to12 hours a day from home – you can set the temperature back to around 5 degrees under your 'comfort' level for both heating and cooling. Think about it – that's approximately 300 hours a month your home, apartment, or condo is setting back the temperature. It will save you Money on Your Electric Bill. And, over time this Honeywell T-Stat can easily PAY for itself, while still providing you all the temperature comfort you demand. After using this Honeywell Wi-FI-Color T-Stat for over a week now I am convinced it is the best climate-control device for my home. I love it. It is an easy Learning-Curve – the more you use it, the easier it is to understand and take advantage of all its comfort, and, money saving features. I highly recommend this Honeywell WI-FI Color Smart Thermostat, RTH9585WF for any geographical region or climate. This T-Stat allows you to take control of your individual needs and comfort all the while it saves you money on your electrical bill, and PAYS for itself in time. A WIN-WIN!

The color display on the Honeywell Thermostat adds fair to a normally bland device. I have wired may Honeywell stats in my day. This install was a tad tougher due to the requirement of the "C" or common power wire. Th original stat from was a simple 'dumb' mercury spring switch. That only needed four (4) wires and not power to make the stat itself work. When the thermostat was replaced a few years back, the new thermostat had batteries which made the "C" wire unnecessary. Unfortunately this is why I give the 4-stars, you need to either add a new wire to the bundle if your existing unit only has four-wires, use the green wire in place of the "C" and jumper inside the furnace or add an additional 24-VAC transformer for thermostat power. This might be intimidating for most DIYers. Otherwise the unit has a great APP in the app store.

I had to upgrade my thermostat and when I did I purchased this one and it was a great purchase I like how it connects to my phone and I can change it from anywhere which is amazing and I like how I can set times when it kicks in when it turns off temperature it was really worth the money

I've had this for a little over a month and it works well. I especially like when I'm coming home early, I can open the app when I get in the car and tell it to start cooling down the house and by the time I get home, it's cool. It's pretty intuitive to operate. The documentation isn't complete, but that's probably because the thermostat's software updates automatically, but Honeywell could do a better job of keeping the online documentation updated and go a little more in-depth. Don't be intimidated about installing it yourself if you can use a screwdriver. I was a little leery of buying this and installing it because I'm not Mr DIY, but I'm intelligent and I was going from a Honeywell just a few years old to a Honeywell, and it didn't look that complicated. When it arrived and I began reading the instructions and it said to take a picture of wiring of the old thermostat and label the wires with the included stickers. Then on the new thermostat just connect them to the terminals with the same letters. Then I continued reading the instructions and got intimidated. It started in if you have an air pump do this, if you have a gas furnace do that, connect this loop and be sure you have something else. Actually, I found that if they had just said to connect the wires to the same terminals as on the old thermostat (the new thermostat will have more terminals than you need to accommodate other configurations) and stopped there, that's all most people would probably need to do. They could have said if it doesn't work, then here are more details that will help and they would be there. I also read in other reviews that Honeywell's tech support is extremely helpful but I didn't need them. My advice is not to worry and give it a try. It's much easier than it looks.

Great product. Easy to install and setup, works perfectly (so far). The wifi connection is great in the house and far from home so you can adjust your thermostat easily.

This Honeywell unit only took me 30 minutes to connect it was super simple and easy to use and not much is needed to get this going everything is given to you inside the Box. Other than some know-how and a screwdriver using the labels is highly recommended so that you can remember what needs to be connected first and to what labeling. Hooking up to the Wi-Fi was super simple. The touch screen is nice and elegant looking has a nice glow at night. I highly recommend this for a person that's looking to upgrade their current heating unit controls or if you looking to help benefit from the cost savings this is the unit you're looking for. I also like that when I'm away I could control the heating unit and also get updates on how the house is going weather wise humidity and Heat.

Very easy to operate and I enjoy the fact I can do everything from phone even if I'm not home. Not issue mounting, and instructions were perfect. Would recommend

I looked at all of the popular thermostats, but they really didn't do anything for me. I wanted a smart thermostat, but I still wanted the classic look. This took care of both. It was very easy to set up and the guide was user friendly. I love being able to control the temperature from anywhere. You also receive a monthly usage report that is informative. Plus, Honeywell is a reliable company. So happy with my decision.

I really like this thermostat. It has a very sleek look and the background colors can be changed to match any room. The WiFi connectivity is a plus. You get weather information and can access the thermostat remotely. If you are replacing an older thermostat, without a touch screen, chances are that this thermostat will be slightly smaller so you may have to do some wall patching and painting. Word of caution: if your current thermostat is older in an older home, you may have to take some additional steps when it comes to the wiring. In my case, I did not have the wiring in place to power the touchscreen. I had to go down to the basement and move some of the wiring around at the actual heating/cooling unit. The instruction booklet provided will guide you through the very easy process and an extra wire is provided. I have no wiring experience whatsoever. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. If not comfortable with this process, hire a professional. I gave the unit 4 stars because the touchscreen tends to be a bit non-responsive. You have to press certain buttons on the screen a few times before anything happens. However, this is something I am willing to overlook since I control my unit mostly through my phone and the unit itself is very nice. One last thing, if you install the thermostat and notice that your heating/cooling unit does not come on right away, you have to wait at least 5min for everything to start working. Most heating/cooling units have a feature that keeps them from starting up right away to prevent burning out.

Works like a charm and easy to install and set up. I was originally given a Gen 2 Nest by a friend, but it apparently wasn't compatible with my hvac for some odd reason. Bought the Honeywell and it performs great. Even looks better than the Nest and is easier to navigate versus turning a dial. Very happy with the purchase!

Wirks great. Husband put it in with no trouble. Love the bright display. Reads outside temperature. Set up program to automatically set temperatures when we normally leave. Can change the temperature from my phone if returning early.

So no complaints about the thermostat itself BUT this thermostat is NOT compatible with a fuel fuel system!! Your power bill will sky rocket because your heat pump will run constantly. However, for a regular system this thermostat has all the bells! The Wi-Fi,app to control while away, ability to schedule the temps for certain times during the day etc. You can also change your screen color. Installation was easy as well. The customer service is excellent when calling in. The app is extremely user friendly. Our power company even offers rebates for this unit and a program to Cut coat (Duke Energy).

Awesome thermostat, it has Wi-Fi and has a great display panel. I definitely recommend this and would suggest to make sure you follow the directions uninstall also make sure to turn the breaker off before installing this.

Tried using the Google Nest but it didn't play well with my new heat pump. Ended up getting this for cheap and works well. The app is a little bare bones but does the job.

Bought this when we moved into our home and it's okay. Nothing special. I actually preferred our Google Nest because our kids have basement bedrooms and I could put sensors in their rooms to control the temp with. I wish this had the option for additional sensors throughout the house so I could monitor their rooms more closely and base the thermostat on their room temps versus upstairs. I do like that it has an app although it's very basic and outdated. It does what it needs to do and has a nice clean display so overall, I would rate it an average 3 stars

Really quick to install (make sure your system has a C wire, or be prepared to buy a $30 adapter!). Setting up took less than 15 minutes, including app download. After booking it up, had fun messing around with the settings. Tons of personalization options to have your HVAC system exactly how you want it. Now... to get some paint to cover the spot where the old $5 thermostat was...

I like this thermostat and it was easy to install. They look great on the wall and the neutral silver/gray frame matches pretty well and you can change the screen color to almost any shade and you can match the walls pretty close if you want to do that or just choose your favorite color. It works well with the app but it is a little limited when using it with Alexa. The skill that Honeywell wrote for the Alexa has a few things that are not as intuitive as they could be. I am also told there are things you can't do with voice but I haven't found anything yet. If you want the heat higher just say make it higher, lower then ask for lower. You can do what you can do by walking over to the thermostat on the wall so I guess that's what you need. I do have one other complaint and I am awaiting customer service to address the issue. The screen sometimes go to bright white even though I have it set to green. When it's in bright white it also doesn't dim so in the middle of the night there is a bright light streaming into my bedroom from the thermostat. You have to go to it and touch it and it is fixed, goes right back to green then dims in a few seconds. Small glitch but a little annoying. Still better than my old thermostats by a wide margin!!

Easy to connect by taking a picture of your old thermostat before disconnecting. Bright and modern looking. Easy to control with app.
