Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a color touchscreen programmable thermostat. When registered to Total Connect Comfort, you can remotely monitor and control the heating and cooling system in your home or business—you can stay connected to your comfort system wherever you go.
Total Connect Comfort is the perfect solution if you travel frequently, own a vacation home, or a business, manage an investment property, or if you are simply looking for peace of mind. This thermostat works with common 24-volt systems such as forced air, hydronic, heat pump, oil, gas, and electric. It will not work with millivolt systems, such as a gas fireplace, or with 120/240 volt systems such as baseboard electric heat.
MERCURY NOTICE: Do not place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at www.thermostat-recycle.org or 1-800-238-8192 for information on how and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat.
NOTICE: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not run the air conditioner if the outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).

Installing your thermostat
You might need the following tools to install this thermostat:
- No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
- Pen
- Pencil
- Level (optional)
- Drill and bits (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster) (optional)
- Hammer (optional)
- Electrical tape (optional)
- Switch OFF power to your heating/cooling system. Important! To protect your equipment, switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system switch.
Note: You will need a picture of your wire connections to wire the new thermostat. - Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference.
- If no wire is connected to a terminal labeled C or no
- terminal exists on the old thermostat, view the Alternate Wiring videos at honeywellhome.com/wifithermostat or reference the C-wire addendum in the box.
Important! C wire is required and is the power source for your thermostat. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.
If you have an older thermostat with a sealed mercury tube, turn to page ii for proper disposal instructions.
- Label the wires. Use the supplied sticky tags to label each wire as you disconnect it. Label wires according to the old thermostat terminal designations, not by wire color.
Note: If no tag matches a terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag. - Remove wallplate. Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labeled and disconnected.
Note: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling back into the wall. - Mount the wallplate for the thermostat. Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat.
If necessary:- Drill 3/16-in holes for drywall.
- Drill 7/32-inch holes for plaster.
Note: You may be able to use your existing wall anchors. Hold the wallplate up to the existing anchors to check for alignment.
Important! This thermostat requires a C, or common, wire for power. The C, or common, wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. If you are replacing an existing thermostat, it might not have a C wire connected to it. Many older mechanical or battery-operated thermostats do not require a C wire. See the C Wire Addendum document included in this package for more information.
Note: Not all heating/cooling systems label the 24 VAC common C. Check your system manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which terminal is the 24 VAC common. View the Alternate Wiring videos at honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat
Wiring
For conventional heating/cooling systems (natural gas, oil or electric furnace, air conditioner), see page 5. See “Glossary” on page 33 for further definition. For a heat pump system, see page 6. See “Glossary” on page 33 for further definition.
Wiring (Conventional System)
Wire the thermostat to your conventional system.
- Starting with the C Wire, match the sticky tag on the wire to the terminal labels. You must have a C wire.
- Straighten the wire and gently slide it into the terminal hole until it clicks into place. (If you need to remove a wire, use a pen tip to press the terminal release and then pull the wire out.)
Note: Refer to the wiring picture you took in Step 2.
Tip: To make it easier to slide the wire into place, use a pen tip to hold down the terminal release.
Note: The wiring for your application might be different than the wiring shown below.
Remove the jumper loop ONLY if you have both R and Rc wires.
Labels don’t match? See alternate wiring keys on pages 7-8.
- In the image on the right, check the
- box next to each connection. You will use this checklist in Step 9.
- Verify wire is firmly secured by gently pulling on the wire.
- Repeat steps a–d for all other wires.
- Push any excess wire back into the wall opening after all wires are installed.
- Continue to page 8.
Important! Check the box for each wire you connect. You will need this information in Step 9.
Labels don’t match? See alternate wiring keys on pages 7-8.
Wiring (Heat Pump System)
Wire the thermostat to your heat pump.
- Starting with the C Wire, match the sticky tag on the wire to the terminal labels. You must have a C wire. See page 5.
- Slide the wire gently into the terminal hole until it clicks into place. (If you need to remove a wire, use a pen tip to press the terminal release and then pull the wire out.)
Note: Refer to the wiring picture you took in Step 2.
Tip: To make it easier to slide the wire into place, use a pen tip to hold down the terminal release.
Note: The wiring for your application might be different than the wiring shown below.
Remove the jumper loop ONLY if you have both R and Rc wires.
Labels don’t match? See alternate wiring keys on pages 7-8.
- In the image on the right, check the box next to each connection. You will use this checklist in Step 9.
- Verify wire is firmly secured by gently pulling on the wire.
- Repeat steps a–d for all other wires.
Note: If the old thermostat has separate wires on AUX and E, use a wire nut to attach both wires to a separate wire. Slide this third wire into the W2-Aux/E terminal. - Push any excess wire back into the wall opening after all wires are installed.
- Continue to page 8.
Important! Check the box for each wire you connect. You will need this information in Step 9.
Labels don’t match? See alternate wiring keys on pages 7-8.
Alternate wiring (Conventional System)
Use this if your wire labels don’t match the terminal labels.
Note: You must have a C wire or equivalent. See page 5.
Alternate wiring key (Conventional System)
- If you have both an R and Rc wire, unplug the jumper loop by pulling on the wire loop.
- If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, the RH wire to the R terminal, and unplug the jumper loop.
Alternate wiring (Heat Pump System)
Use this if your wire labels don’t match the terminal labels.
Note: You must have a C wire or equivalent. See page 5.
Alternate wiring key (Heat Pump System)
- If you have both an R and Rc wire, unplug the jumper loop by pulling on the wire
loop. - If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, the RH wire to the R terminal, and unplug the jumper loop.
- If your old thermostat had V and VR wires, check honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat for help.
- If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires and is controlling a single zone heat pump system, attach the B wire to the C. If there is more than one thermostat controlling the system, call Resideo Zoning at 800-828-8367 for wiring assistance.
- If your old thermostat had separate Y1, W1, and W2 wires, check honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat for help.
- If the old thermostat has separate wires on Aux and E, use a wire nut to attach both wires to a separate wire. Slide this third wire into the W2-Aux/E terminal.
- This is the system monitor. If the monitor finds a problem, you will see an orange alert button on the thermostat home screen.
