1. Install your thermostat.
2. Connect your home Wi-Fi network.
3. Register online for remote access.

Before you begin, you may want to watch a brief installation video. Use the QR Code® at the front of this guide, or go to honeywellhome.com/support.

Installing your thermostat

You might need the following tools to install this thermostat:

• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Small pocket screwdriver
• Pencil
• Level (optional)
• Drill and bits (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster) (optional)
• Hammer (optional)
• Electrical tape (optional)

1. Switch OFF power to your heating/cooling system.
2. Remove the old thermostat faceplate and leave the wires connected.
3. Do not label by wire color. 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.
4. Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labeled and disconnected.
5. On your new thermostat, grasp the finger holds on the top and bottom of the wallplate with one hand and the thermostat (front) with the other hand. Pull pieces apart.
6. Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat.

• Important! The thermostat requires a C wire to operate. The C, or common, wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. Many older mechanical or battery-operated thermostats do not require a C wire. If you don’t have a C wire, try:
• I am looking for an unused wire that is pushed into the wall. Connect that wire to C and check that it is connected to the 24 VAC common at your heating/cooling system.
• 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.

Wiring

• For conventional heating/cooling systems (natural gas, oil or electric furnace, air conditioner), see page 5. See “Glossary” on page 23 for further definition.
• For a heat pump system, see page 7. See “Glossary” on page 23 for further definition.

Software updates

Honeywell periodically issues updates to the software for this thermostat. The updates occur automatically through your Wi-Fi connection. All your settings are saved, so you will not need to make any changes after the update occurs.

While the update is taking place, your thermostat screen flashes Updating and shows the percentage of the update that has occurred. When the update is complete, your home screen will appear as usual.

Note: If you are not connected to Wi-Fi, you will not get automatic updates.

Smart Response Technology

This feature allows the thermostat to “learn” how long the heating/cooling system takes to reach programmed temperature settings, so the temperature is reached at the time you set.

For example: Set the Wake time to 6:00 am, and the temperature to 70°. The heat will come on before 6:00 am, so the temperature is 70° by 6:00 am.

Compressor protection

This feature forces the compressor to wait a few minutes before restarting, to prevent equipment damage.

Auto changeover

This feature is used in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system is set to Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature. Heat and cool settings must be at least 3 degrees apart. The thermostat will automatically adjust settings to maintain this 3-degree separation.

Setting functions and options

You can change options for several system functions. Available functions depend on the type of system you have. The functions, along with available options are described on pages 18–19.

This thermostat is pre-set for a single-stage heating/cooling system. Setting function 1 for a heat pump will adjust the default settings.

1. Press the Fan and s simultaneously and hold for approximately 3 seconds. The screen will change to display two numbers and the button designations will be Done, Back, blank, Next.
2. Press Next until you see the function number— the larger number on the left—you want to set.
3. Change options for any function by pressing or t until the correct option (smaller number on the right) is displayed.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you have set all functions that you wish to change.
5. When you have made all changes, press Done to save and exit.

Troubleshooting

Lost Signal

If the no-Wi-Fi indicator displays in place of the Wi-Fi strength indicator in the upper right-hand corner of the home screen:

• Check another device to be sure Wi-Fi is working in your home; if not, call your Internet Service Provider.
• Move the router.
• Restart the thermostat: remove it from the wallplate, wait 10 seconds, and snap it back onto the wallplate. Return to Step 1 of Connecting to your Wi-Fi network.

Error Codes

For certain problems, the thermostat screen will display a code that identifies the trouble. Initially, error codes are displayed alone in the time area of the screen; after a few minutes, the home screen is displayed and the code alternates with the time.
