How to Enable Wifi on Honeywell Thermostat
Рет қаралды 20,725
Күн бұрынFound out the easy way how to enable Wifi on a honeywell "smart" thermostat. It's smart as in, smart-compatible but you have to buy the parts.
Most of them these days come with the EIM (Equipment Interface Module) attached and all you need is the Internet Gateway.

This video really helped! To add a second thermostat. Hit the "redlink" button twice, vs press and hold once, on the redlink gateway to add another device.

Nicely done . This gateway will work with any late model Honeywell Redlink compatible thermostats, also it will help to have the gateway at the thermostat during linking process

Thank you for your video. You present the process extremely well and in a way anyone would understand it. The manual does not fully explain how to do this and if not for the Installer Options you walked through, the average person would be clueless as to how to do this install let alone attempt to register their equipment online.

Hi. I have an HZ322 zone panel with a THM4000R wireless adapter which allows my upstairs zone thermostat to be wireless. That thermostat is a FocusPro 6000, and doesn’t have an interface to use to add the gateway. Do I just press the connect button on the adapter and then the connect button on the gateway?
@AKTechIT 11 ай бұрын
Sorry for the late reply but were you able to figure it out?
@ketel556 7 ай бұрын
I believe you need to add the gateway to the HZ322 itself. Hit the mode button on the control until wireless led is lit. Go through the add device menu that way.

Thank you, very informative video but we have an odd situation. Our Honeywell thermostat says gateway is already connected, but we just moved in and can’t find it anywhere in the house. Is the wireless device manager saying that gateway is connected and live or its saying that gateway was connected in the past (maybe previous owners took it with them)
@AKTechIT 10 ай бұрын
Do you happen to know where the device is? Has to be connected via an ethernet cable afaik.

We have a THX9421 with the EIM. using your instructions I can get to the "connected devices" and see the thermostat and the EIM. So from what your GREAT video shows, the gateway does not need a Pro to install as long as i can get to the Pro menus? There nothing on the EIM itself that i have to access?
