  1. Install your thermostat.
  2. Connect it to your home wireless 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 getconnected.honeywellhome.com

Installing your thermostat

You might need the following tools to install this thermostat:

  • No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
  • Pen
  • Pencil
  • Level (optional)
  • Drill and bits (4.5mm for drywall, 5.5mm for plaster) (optional)
  • Hammer (optional)
  • Electrical tape (optional)
  1. Switch OFF power to your heating/cooling system.

    To protect your equipment, switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system switch.
    Installing your thermostat - Step 1
  2. Remove old thermostat faceplate
    1. Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference.
    2. If no wire is connected to a terminal labelled C or no C terminal exists on the old thermostat, view the Alternate Wiring videos at getconnected.honeywellhome.com

      Note: You will need a picture of your wire connections to wire the
      Installing your thermostat - Step 2

      C wire is required and is the power source for your thermostat. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.
      warning
      If you have an older thermostat with a sealed mercury tube, turn to page for proper disposal instructions.
  3. 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 colour.
    Installing your thermostat - Step 3
    Note: If no tag matches a terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag.
  4. Remove wallplate.
    Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labelled and disconnected.
    Installing your thermostat - Step 4
    Note: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling back into the wall.
  5. Mount wallplate for smart thermostat.
    Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat. If necessary: Drill 4.5mm holes for drywall.
    Drill 5.5mm holes for plaster.
    Installing your thermostat - Step 5
    Note: You may be able to use your existing wall anchors. Hold the wallplate up to the existing anchors to check for alignment.


The Smart 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:

  • 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. Check the video section at honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat
    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.

Updates occur in the early morning. After your thermostat receives the software, it reboots. The screen then shows "Updating software..." with a green progress bar. When the update is complete, your home screen will appear as usual.

Smart Response Technology

This feature (home use only) 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° (21°C). The heat will come on before 6:00 am, so the temperature is 70° (21°C) by 6:00 am.
Smart Response Technology

Note: Select Smart Response Technology in the Preferences menu ("Setting preferences").

The message "in recovery" is displayed when the system is activated before a scheduled time period.
* Smart Response is not available if thermostat is configured for business.

Pre-occupancy purge

This business use feature turns on the fan 1 to 3 hours before each "occupied" time period, to provide a comfortable work environment when you arrive.

Compressor protection
