In this video we teach you how to install the Honeywell Home Wifi Smart Thermostat that allows you to remotely control your heating and cooling from your phone.
Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat: amzn.to/3B59e5Y
The Honeywell Home Wifi Smart Thermostat is a Wifi Smart Thermostat that allows you to remotely control your heating and cooling from your phone. It also works with Alexa and Google Home voice assistants so that you can remotely control your smart thermostat with your voice.
In my experience it takes 15-20 minutes to install you Honeywell Smart Thermostat. It's important to note that the Honeywell Home Wifi Smart Thermostat does require a Common wire or C wire for installation and you will need one in order to install the Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat.
The Honeywell Home Wifi Smart Thermostat (RTH9585WF) has a color touch screen display that you can use to adjust the temperature. You can also set schedules for the thermostat and get intelligent alerts about the status of your heating and cooling system.
How To Install Honeywell Home Wifi Smart Thermostat
1. Turn off the power to your HVAC system, and remove the existing thermostat.
2. Ideniify if you have a C wire or Common Wire for installation of your Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat. It is required for installation.
3. Install the Honeywell Thermostat.
4. Set up your Honeywell Thermostat.
5. Use the Honeywell Thermostat on the Honeywell Total Connect App to remotely control your Honeywell Home Wifi Smart Thermostat.

I installed mine and it's working perfectly. My questions are: is the "Differential" setting the difference between what the actual room temp is compared to what the stat is reading or, an offset temp where it has to drop that differential setting before activating the furnace? Also, is there no backup battery if we lose power or does being connected to the net mean we we don't need it?

@wbforsure2104 6 ай бұрын

If you lose power in your home your heat/ac isn't going to work anyways so there's no need for backup power

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

@wbforsure2104 : The purpose of a back-up battery is to retain the settings and ensure that the system continues to operate as programmed when power is restored.

Wow great video. I had to buy a Honeywell c wire adapter on Amazon I was told some Menards carry them too. I only had 4 wires coming out of living room wall. I cut and stripped all 4 wires to create less bulk as there is hardly any room for wire storage to get the cover plate snapped in. I still gotta hook up the adapter still, doesn’t look to bad

I have the same old wiring setup, I am setting up mine and was wondering you have a r to rc red jumper. What do you do with the jumper on the new plate? The instruction say if you have a r and rc jumped to remove the jumper on the new plate, I see you didn't do that. Am I missing something? Thanks....

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

It's fine to jump R(h) and Rc if: (a) your heating and cooling are controlled by the same control panel (such as from the air handler on your A/C or furnace) OR (b) you have separate heating and cooling control panels (e.g., A/C + gas boiler), but you don't care that the thermostatic input power comes from only one of them (and, therefore, that turning off that system shuts off thermostatic control for both systems). Odds are good that you're in condition (a), above. If you're in condition (b), I'd suggest running a separate R for each and not jumping Rh-Rc. That way, as long as either system is powered, your thermostat is powered. I'm not an HVAC tech, though.

Do you need to turn off power to the furnace as well or just the air conditioner?

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

It depends on whether the furnace feeds power on the thermostatic cable. This would usually be indicated by a wire from a furnace control panel connecting to the "Rh" terminal on a thermostat. The best way to tell is to check the thermostatic cable for voltage before messing with it. If you read voltage or an NCV beeps, you haven't cut all the power to it.

I turned the power at the breaker checked the cables and the power doesnt come on. How can i have blown a fuse if the power is off. We only have 1 red cable and with the old system there was a horseshoe connecting both c and rc. The instructions state to remove the jumper ONLY if i have 2 wires. I will have to call a tech. This sucks

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

You might have turned off the (2-pole) breaker for the compressor, but not the 1-pole breaker for the air handler, which is what energizes the 24V thermostatic cable. If that system is energized and you touch R (red/ resource/ hot) to C (cyan/ common/ neutral), then you will short the circuit and blow the 3- or 5-amp blade fuse on the control panel, which is likely located on the air handler. Those fuses are very cheap and easy to replace. Hope this helps. Sorry that happened to you. That said, please be careful working with electrical systems if you're not familiar with them. They can kill you, and KZfaq videos aren't always as accurate or clear as they should be. (And in fairness, KZfaq commenters--myself possibly included--are often just dangerously over-confident amateurs.)

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

Do you have heat from a heat pump? I.e., can your A/C system run in reverse to heat your home? (Similar questions: Is O connected on the air handler's control panel? Do you read ~24V between R and O? Can you see a reversing valve at the compressor?) If yes, connect orange to O at the thermostat and set the default for heating or cooling depending on your climate. If no, leave it disconnected.

@kirostar12 6 ай бұрын

@@ncooty I contact the customer service and they told me to connect the Orange to O/W/B port and the white to W2/Aux/E port and this solved my problem. I may have a heat pump, but I don't think it's reversible, because in the winter the heating is only on gas. I don't know, are there pumps that are combined and work simultaneously on electricity and gas for better economy? So connected like this, the thermostat works perfectly for now.

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

@kirostar12 If the answer to any of my parenthetical questions above was "yes," then you likely have a heat pump that works as your primary heat source (which is extremely efficient). Unless your unit is wired strangely, O almost certainly operates the reversing valve on your A/C compressor: one way for heating (usually the default) and the other way (with O energized) for cooling. W2/Aux is used for a back-up heat source, such as a gas furnace, boiler, or heat strips. Glad it's working for you. I'd vote you don't fix what ain't broke... at least until spring. :)

@ncooty 6 ай бұрын

@0:27: If you're going to advise novices on dealing with electrical systems, I think you really need to give more complete, specific directions. You mentioned turning off power to the A/C system as if it's a single breaker. Many systems have a 2-pole breaker for the compressor and a single-pole for the air handler, which controls voltage to the 24V themostatic cable. You'll see in the comments that some viewers switched off the compressor, but not the air handler, and then shorted the thermostatic line (R-C), blowing the blade fuse on the air handler's control panel. For those folks, it probably would've helped if you'd shown that step, especially given how important it is.
