Honeywell Home 7 Day Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat

Simple thermostat that does what it is supposed to do. First, this is a 4-wire thermostat - that means it doesn't draw power from your furnace and relies on batteries. Second, it has a lot of flexibility in how you program it - you can have a unique program for every day of the week, you can also have a unique program for M-F and then something different for S-S. It can be set to switch automatically between heating and cooling (where I live that is such a narrow margin we don't bother with that feature). The main display shows humidity, which is nice. Speaking of, the main display only lights up when you touch it. In terms of installation - total breeze. It's literally 4 wires and the instructions are super clear. It has a mounting plate with terminals for the wires making it even easier to install (and remove when you need to replace batteries). It has lots of set-up options to match different heating/cooling configurations - the defaults work for a standard gas furnace and single-stage AC. But if you have electric heat, heat pump, multi-stage, etc. it can easily be configured for that. In terms of accuracy - I find it to be within half a degree of my instant read thermometers - so no problems there at all. Overall, a great well-priced thermostat.

Best thermostat on the market for the price point. I bought a “smart” google nest thermostat and it was terrible. Had to download an app, connect to wifi (that kept losing signal) & it had trouble holding the temp. I hated it. Returned it & got the trusty Honeywell thermostat! Connected it within 5 mins, AC is blowing cold & holding the correct temp. I love this thermostat! Simple, easy to use, reliable and worth every dollar.

It’s very easy to install. I did it myself and I’m afraid of electricity. The directions are very simple and you can call Honeywell and they will help you. If you need it, the only thing I do not like about it is that it drains batteries quick and it keeps telling me to set the time and date I don’t wanna be bothered by that. I just want my AC to be cold.!! other than that it’s great

Excellent product. Easy to install and set. Very happy with it. And it looks smart.

We got this to replace our nest thermostat that decided to go in the fritz a few months ago when it stopped calibrating to correct temperature inside the house. This thermostat has been so simple and eases my mind so much that it ACTUALLY shows the correct temperature inside. Display size is big enough for most to read, you can change the colors of the background to see it better if need be. The current wires we have were compatible to switch to this thermostat from a 3rd gen nest thermostat. I bought this on Black Friday so I got an amazing deal on it after doing days of research. It’s capable of making a schedule which is handy. It doesn’t connect to WiFi so you can’t change the temps from your phone which I miss. All around I like this thermostat compared to the nest, best investment I made

I purchased this a few months back as a replacement for an older programmable thermostat that had corroded battery terminals, but I just installed it in the last few days. The installation instructions were very clear and the installation went quite smoothly overall. The trickiest part was I needed a COM wire to run this new thermostat without batteries (although batteries are still needed for backup), but I was fortunate that the existing thermostat had some extra unused wires. I just needed to make the COM connection at the HVAC end to have a COM connection for the new thermostat, so it wasn't too difficult. This is a more modern design than the unit that it replaced, so I'm not surprised to find that it has more features to make it more flexible. The touch screen provides access to a good range of menu options, but it didn't seem hard to program, either. I'm very interested in the Automatic Changeover capability which can switch between heating and cooling modes automatically if needed to maintain program temperatures. I think that may be useful in cases when the weather is changing and the need for heating or cooling is not as clear so it's easy to miss changing modes manually. I haven't seen that feature work yet, though. I'm using it in a home workshop area, so appearance is not super important, but it does have a simple and clean appearance, and I consider it a bonus that it displays the relative humidity in addition to the temperature. There is no WiFi connectivity and I chose this model for that reason. If it continues to meet expectations, I plan to replace my other older thermostats with this model.

Not every furnace can take the most high tech thermostat solution. This alternative got us as close as we could get. This thermostat has been a great solution for us, and totally compatible to the furnace and A/C system we have. It was easy to install and use. One of the coolest things I appreciate is that it has some learning capability so that delivers the temperature you want when you want it. A great value!

It was easy for the HVAC folks to install and pretty straightforward to program. However, it did not actually work with the gas furnace and heat pump system as it says it does.

This is an extremely versatile thermostat. Super easy to install. An impressive number of programming features, and the touch screen makes it super easy to program. Very impressed! You can partially or fully lock out the screen. Runs on 3 AA batteries. Has a backlit screen that comes on with a touch of the screen and will go off on a time delay with battery only power. If you have a C wire or want to run a small 24 volt power supply (to power the C wire input), it will stay lit all the time at selectable light intensities. It also gives you room humidity, which is nice as perceived temperature is related to humidity. Although this thermostat has wire inputs for almost every imaginable input, it can also be wired with as few as two wires for an old school furnace like I have. Simply hook your red (or black) wire to the R input and your white wire to the W input. Works perfect. And although I have a simple furnace, this thermostat can still be programmed to anticipate the heat changes and cut in early - if you like. You can program the maximum cycles per hour. Lots of cool features. I appreciated the size, square shape, pleasant white backlight, and ease of installation. It does NOT have a color screen, or Wi-Fi capabilities, but I was looking for a "simple" one without Wi-Fi. It also does not do high voltage switching (120 Volt line voltage). Honeywell has other models, with those features - if desired - see their website. The only feature lacking which I did want is cumulative run time tracking (for the furnace or AC). I had that on one of my previous Honeywell thermostats and really liked this feature. It seems like the only thermostats which offer this any more only offer it if have a Wi-Fi thermostat and log into a website to get the info. Honeywell - please bring this feature back an option on regular thermostats! I have installed programmable thermostats in several houses, and have always liked and preferred the Honeywell brand. Consumers reports also liked this thermostat (Model RTH8560D) for functionality and ease of programming. I could not agree more. Highly recommended!!!

Lo volveré a instalar en futuros proyectos

Installed this thermostat about a week ago... and our weather's been crazy so I already got to test the Auto AC/Heat switch feature, which works perfectly. Programming is fairly simple and intuitive, no need to refer to the manual. Installation only took about 10 minutes and couldn't have been easier. As for the complaint some people have about the temperature being way off, I compared it to two accurate thermometers and the difference was less than one degree Celsius, which I can certainly live with. In reality, the displayed temperature doesn't really mean much. Set it to wherever you're comfortable and leave it at that. Plus I got it from Amazon's Warehouse Deals for $75 Cdn. Good deal.

Nice little device. Comes with mounting screws. Easy to install and program. Note that you have to hold down the menu button to get to the more detailed selection options. Also nice that you can toggle between F and C. That used to be a problem if you chose wrong. Display dims went not in use and one tap to brighten. System will increase/decrease temperature to meet you setting for the time you select. If you want 60 at 6am it will slowly increase/decrease to get to 60 at 6am. Nice feature to select from the program.
