Honeywell thermostat install
As part of the Honeywell thermostat installation, we first had to perform the Honeywell smart thermostat removal of the older unit that had a cracked display from falling off the wall. The Honeywell thermostat wiring was pretty simple since you just label the wires you remove off the older Honeywell thermostat, and wire them in the same spot when you install the new Honeywell thermostat
Honeywell wifi thermostat no c wire for rth9585wf
The Honeywell wifi setup is simple, but if your AC system is a 4-wire instead of a 5-wire have no C wire, then you're in trouble and have to do some wiring tricks because you need that 24 VAC on the C wire from the air conditioner to power your new Honeywell smart thermostat rth9585wf. Remember this Honeywell smart color thermostat is not battery-powered, it requires power directly from the air conditioner unit.
The menus on this are self-explanatory and easy to follow and navigate. Consider this thermostat installation video to also be your Honeywell WiFi thermostat instructions, in particular, the wiring instructions for this smart wifi thermostat. Hopefully, this how-to installation video makes your Honeywell thermostat wifi installation go smoothly.
rth9585wf1004
What to do if you get a Honeywell wifi thermostat without c wire
With any smart thermostat with no C Wire, you still have to give it 24 V to power the smart thermostat. In my Honeywell rth9585 installation, I stole the green "G" wire from the G terminal and used it as the C wire on the C terminal to power this smart thermostat with 24 VAC. This means however that I can't have the function where I just run the blower by itself with no AC or Heat, like the vent function in your car. No big deal, we only use our central air conditioning unit in AC mode or in Heat mode. So the blower comes on automatically when your Honeywell Smart Thermostat tells the AC or heat to turn on.

Okay I thinking on getting it, It got confusing on link to Amazon for thermostat, on description it said it uses AA batteries If you don't have C wire? I have a regular gas furnace ( no AC/ cooling system) nothing fancy So I can't use that thermostat that is required C wire hook up even on Amazon it takes AA battery? I want to get one that is password protected that nobody can turn on furnace and jack up the temp and I can shut off and turn on furnace while I'm at work or out of town.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the informative video, it was very helpful. I have a 4 zone system - three that can operate on their own, and the 4th is the main panel that controls the 4th zone but can also control the other three. Will this Honeywell system work in that set up? I do have the 5 wires required and had the Honeywell in another home and liked it. The plan is to replace the existing Honeywell's that are about 15 years old. Thanks! Jeff

Any updates on this? We recently had our HVAC replaced with what I Believe is Heat pump after years of a dead unit and I'm looking into a more advanced controller. What I'd Like to have is one where I can have AC from say 8a-8p and then have it switch to heat from 8p-8a during the warmer months, but during the colder months, have it be just on heat. I was also considering finding one that can adjust based on the exterior temperature, but I'm still pondering how important that would be.

Did you know that the Ecobee smart thermostats come with a pek module or a power extender kit module that you wire in at your furnace that converts your 4 wire interface to supply power at the thermostat? You don't give up your G wire. You can still independently control you fan without heat or cool being on. That is why I went with an Ecobee. Plus you get added voice control through Alexa or google home.

Hi Jeff - I'm considering the same Honeywell you installed here. Plus, I used to have an older Honeywill like yours that was broken. My old Honeywell still worked, except I couldn't change the time. So I switched to Ecobee last year - and I don't like it. It's hard to use. The thing I miss about the old Honeywell is that I could change/hold the temp until a specific time - e.g., set it at 68 degrees until 3:30pm. Can you tell me if the Honeywell RTH9585 offers the same flexible hold options? I'd like to know before I haul off & buy yet another thermostat. Thanks!!

Thank you for this video. I was glad that u mentioned the need for a "c" wire but unfortunately when u installed the thermostat you did not talk about the adjustment that you said you made or even point it out to us at the most important time, installation. What if you only have a heating system etc do you need the c wire and or the adjustment?

@jeffostroff 3 жыл бұрын

With most smart thermostats you always need C-wire regardless of whether you have a heater or an air conditioner or what because the C wire is needed to help provide the 24 volts needed by the thermostat to operate and to turn on their own display for you to see what's going on to power up that display. Older thermostat models that operate off batteries won't need a C wire but I highly suggest against using battery operated thermostats they were a source of many arguments between me and my wife as to whether the battery needed to be changed or the air conditioner does not feel right because she thinks the battery has to be changed but in the end having a thermostat that runs off 24 volts is the best way to go.

Finally got mine installed; a couple of quick notes worth mentioning while I'm here. First, this thing is flimsy as heck. I broke not one but TWO of the plastic terminal housing just pushing the wires in, incredible. I was half tempted to simply send it back right then and there, but figured I'd push ahead and see if I could get it powered up and working despite not having confidence that the wires were securely snug but it appears to be up and working thus far. Second, it seems you MUST set the schedule and edit the schedule via the touch panel on the front of the device - I see no way to edit or change the schedule once you've logged in to your account on the web through that interface. *Edit - I had previously said you were required to toggle the device from heat to AC manually, but this is not true; you can set it to go between both as needed automatically, which is nice. For the price, as long as you can keep from breaking the terminal housing with the wires, it's actually a nice little thermostat.

@jeffostroff 2 жыл бұрын

For most common systems, the default configuration at the factory on the thermostat is to jumper the Rc to the Rh. This is because most systems have only one red wire coming out of the wall going to "R". So they both get jumpered together for single control. If you have 2 lines coming out of the wall that are red, chances are one goes to RC, the other goes to Rh, and you must remove the jumper. Which do you have?

I am using Honeywell RTH221B (battery needed), and I found only 4 wires coming out from wall (so, no wire for "C"). 3 wires going to "GYW", and one going to "RC", a jumper connecting "RC" and "R" together.

I like my Emerson Sensi If you don't have a C wire you can get a 24-volt transformer, plug it in in the attic or basement or somewhere out of the way, and run a cat 6 wire to your thermostat. I personally wouldn't to do any work arounds where you have to take a wire from somewhere else. Some people like to use the fan wire somehow but then you can never turn your fan on and off manually. What I really wish they would invent is a smart thermostat that can also replace the humidistat that controls my whole house dehumidifier.

What if our current wiring only has a W2 connection... the W has no wire running to it? There doesn't seem to be an option for just the W2? Great, informative video BTW! I greatly appreciate everyone who posts videos on these sorts of things, I always prefer to see someone go through something like this that I'm unfamiliar with before I jump in and screw things up.

Sounds like you were dealing with some type of heater or heat pump only and not air conditioner am I right? The problem is these newer thermostats with the computer screens and everything need a 24 Volt AC source of power to operate. So if you don't have that in your in your system and you can't tap into a terminal somewhere in your circuit board to get that 24 volts, some people will run wiring in their wall to the nearest 120VAC electrical outlet, and then connect that wiring to a doorbell transformer which will give you the 24 volts that you need in order to operate the thermostat in order to turn it on.

@@jeffostroff Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my original post, yes I have a heat pump. I contacted Honeywell support via their chat option and sent them a pic of my existing wiring, which has wires running to Y, G, C, W2, R, and an unlabeled terminal. They determined that the unlabeled terminal was O/B (or something like that, I never got a transcript of the chat and didn't make a note of it at the time) and that everything as it is currently is correct. They also confirmed that when the new RTH9585WF1004 boots up and asks me if I have W or both W and W2, I should select both. Now to just figure out for sure which circuit this thing is on in my breaker panel 🙂

This is awesome. I just bought one of these at HD for $99 (on sale from $179). The thermostat in the house that I just bought was acting weird and this is an older house (built in '99) so I decided to just change it out. Come to find out, it was a battery-operated one. I suspect that the weirdness was because the batteries were low but not so low that it stopped working altogether. I pulled the old module off the wall (but not the backplate) and only saw 4 wires. Well, damn. Then I went to the furnace and saw that there was a 5th wire wrapped around the sheathing, not being used. BINGO! So I went back to the wall and could see that they took that blue wire and fed it back into the hole in the wall. I pulled it out, hooked it up to the C connection on the furnace and, as if by magic, the thermostat powered right up! And it was a sinch to connect to my wifi and my phone, so now I can adjust the schedule without standing in the hallway bending over. So much better for my back. And the old thermostat was only backlit when you did something to it. It's nice to have power going to it all the time so I never have to worry about batteries and I can read the thing without changing something. So far, I love it! Thanks so much for the video to give me enough knowledge to get this replaced without having to call an HVAC guy, although the furnace hasn't been serviced since 2001, so I'm going to have someone come out and do a good cleaning on it just to make sure everything is in good working order.

Thank you for the video! Question, recently my thermostat (slightly older model) starts turning the air on sooner than the scheduled time. And I know the weather outside is not hot enough to start the program. Example: I have it set to lower the air from 74 to 70 at 8pm. This is starting to lower the air at 6pm. (before it would start around 7:45pm). So I decided to do a factory restart, and still same results. Now another issue. It is registering 75 when I know for a fact that the room is 70 degrees because I have 2 portable thermometers that I am using to make sure this is right and they both say 70. I tried to reach out to Honeywell support, but no response yet, been 3 days. Any advice? The unit is only 5 years old.

the colors of the wires you see don't always mean anything, you need to see on the air handler the circuit diagram for the air handler that shows where each of these wires goes to, then see if it lines up with the proper terminal on the thermostat

Either it cannot be done, or can someone tell me where to connect? There is no s1/s2, responders say "get an electritian or hvac guy" but I've wired home entertainment systems that are more complicated, taught CCNA (cisco certification part where you had to make and run your own Cat5 wires to routers and switches), so I am not sure how wiring this is too complicated for me. Is there a terminal for external outside sensors or not? If so which? Thank for your response and sorry for being too wordy. Great video.
