Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat - REVIEW

This smart thermostat from Honeywell is a great "intermediate" product between the old school 7-day programmable thermostats, and the high-tech, expensive "Auto Learning" and "Auto Sensing" thermostats like the Nest or ecobee.

Here are my 4 Favorite Features:
1. Remote control access from anywhere, anytime! All from the app you can set temperature and system settings. Plus you can easily modify the 7-Day programmable schedule.
2. They have a website "app" that allows you to login and control this smart wifi thermostat from anywhere. Plus you can turn on email notifications for an assortment of possible scenarios.. "alert me when the humidity drops below 20%" etc
3. Simple to use scheduling interface. Very easy and quick to jump to a specific time/day, tweak heat/cooling wants and hit save.
4. Great touchscreen display. Vibrant colors, different themes, easy to navigate, easy to read.
(This could be a *great* thermostat for the elderly, as they can easily read and control the thermostat themselves, but someone else can login remotely and "help control/temp settings" if needed.)

Thanks for watching! I hope this video was helpful.

This is a great thermostat. The automatic feature is a bonus for those few weeks of the year where you have the air conditioning on to cool the house but don't want the house getting too cold i.e. set the A/C to cool down to 67 but heat comes on at 63.

I like that thermostat because it helps you turn the heat or air conditioner on your phone when you're at work or vacation. Also to adjust the the temperature before getting home

I am an hvac technician with more than 20 years of experience. Honeywell has been making thermostats for over 100 years. The nest is a piece of junk. They have known issues inside the hvac community. Most technicians do not like them. Most of those features nest provides is smoke and mirrors. People will not use them or alter their lives to fit the thermostat. I love the honeywell 9000. Its definitely my recommendation for a nice wifi thermostat. It works, works with different types of systems. It is reliable and easy to set up and use.

Superb video, Ben. Your pace is perfect, and you covered so much in just a few minutes. This is exactly what I wanted to find out, and it looks like the Honeywell is the one for me! Keep up the good work.

Don't forget to cut the power. Even though 25V is low. If you some how short the circuit. That can cost you hundreds in repair. So play it safe. Cut the power to the furnace then install.

I want to install this in a rental unit where I'd prefer that the renters not be able to adjust temperatures. Can I lock this so that it can only be adjusted remotely via the smartphone app or laptop?

I work at Honeywell.this is one of the best thermostats in my opinion

Something I'm unfamiliar with, and having a varying temperature from the 3rd floor down to the found the "Circulate" feature to be a big help. It seems to kick the fan on periodically to keep the air circulating around the house, in hopes to avoid a sauna on the top floor and an ice box in the family room. Maybe this is a normal feature, but it was new to me, so I'm addition to the Pro's you outlined, I added air circulation to my list.

Great Review. Three questions: How many watts is the device using in idle mode (Wi-fi and Screen on)? Can you set the screen to turn off after a minute? What major features is it missing from other more expensive and perhaps more popular smart thermostats?

Dude, what an absolutely fantastic video and channel. Thank you for doing this; regards from sweltering Argentina!🤩

Question: can I set high & low for multiple times in one day ? like 4 time low and high in one day ?

[strangetwang]

How many program slots per day can you program? It doesn’t say in the site’s description.

[johnhub]

Thanks for the review, it's now $119 on the Amazon.

We have this product and we love it.  Since we 1st purchased we have moved and purchased a new one for our new home.  Your videos are great, looking into the Bissell smartclean

I went with this after my HVAC technician strongly suggested it I wanted a nest originally. He told me Honeywell is the best with the track record to prove it honeywells been in business for hundreds of years.
