I would love to read your video requests in the comments below. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
In the three years since I published this video, the app has changed names three times. At present it is called “TCC” which stands for Total Connect Comfort. In addition, the method for connecting to WiFi has changed.
Do you have a “how to” on the change?
No I do not.
What the web site name u use to finish setting it up

I can't find any help on how to connect to the network . I see why they lowered the price.
I just installed mine yesterday. I mainly bought it to use with my Alexa. So far it has exceeded expectations. I’m not even using the scheduling features because with the app on my phone and Alexa it’s all I need. This unit does everything I want and need without spending $200 on a nest or ecobee
R J I totally agree.
I am an HVAC Service Tech & business owner & I really found the video informative. I bought 3 of these to test in my own home & look forward to integrating Alexa skills.
Awesome!!
Bought and installed this same thermostat, easy installation even without a C-wire, moved the G-wire to the C-wire spot and placed a jumper between Y and G at the furnace and place the G-wire to C at the thermostat, loving this thermostat so far
Only thing about that, is if the fan is in the on position the outside condensing unit will run continuously without ever being able to shut off at the the temperature set point.
Awsome, I appreciated "House on the Mend," especially after being put on hold with the Honeywell phone support for nearly 2 hours, and finally giving up. Jim
Jim you’re very welcome. I’m glad it helped.
Great job (neighbor) on adapting that new unit to the existing location!
S D Thank you very much! It was a unique situation so I was excited to include it in the video.
Great tutorial presentation very helpful to all guys who want to replace their old thermostat
@ako ito thank you very much!
That was great!!! I was having trouble connecting and completing the process!!! Thanks for your post!
You are very welcome, Joanne. I’m so glad it helped you.
Excellent video. Very detailed and easy to follow
JJB thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing. Your video helped me install mine!
Chris you are very welcome. So glad it helped you!!
Mike you are good ... actually you are a life saver ... and I will give you 🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much!!!
Very good instructions for someone who decides to buy a Honeywell Thermostat.
Thank you Mark.
Great presentation! Very helpful. Thank you
Alain you are very welcome. The app has changed quite a bit in the last three years as you can imagine so the connectivity will be different than what is shown.
thanks for posting, life saver you are
You are very welcome.
Loved the video. Thank you!
Excellent video thank you for you explanation 👍🏼
Jesus thank you so much!!
Thank you for the info good video for installing plates!
You are very welcome. I’m so glad it was helpful.
Thanks so much! Great video! Does anyone know if its possible to add the "Circulate" function to this thermostat or any Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart thermostat? Thought this one did and found out it didn't after I installed.
very good job i realy thank you sir for your help thanks again
Arif you are very welcome. Thank you for your kind comments.
Wow, I didnt know andy from the office knew thermostats. Way to go big tuna!
Jim was Big Tuna, you mean Nard Dog... Lol
if you get to the wifi set up part and your browser does not automatically open the honeywell wifi set up page after you connect to the new thermostat in your wifi setting. **go to 192.168.1.1 in your browser**. If that doesn't work take the thermostat off the wall for 1 minute and put it back on and try going to 192.168.1.1 again.
Thank you for sharing.
Every time I connect to the thermostat it takes the internet away from my smartphone. Tried it on a tablet and the se thing. Therefore, I can't even try pulling up the page manually because I have no internet since it does not connect automatically to the page... What do I do?
@@Ana-qw5pf is supposed to. You're connected to the thermostat.
This is an important tip of you change you're router
Thank you, so much, thank you! This was the only video out there showing how to actually set up the wifi, without being on your wifi. Thank you!!!!
Samantha you are very welcome!! Thank you for your kind words.
Tx this helped a lot.
You are quite welcome, Sheri.
Perfect!☺️
Thanks for your help!
You’re very welcome!
how to remove thermostat from face plate without breaking unit?
This was extremely clear and well presented. 👍🏼
@brainblasta2 thank you very much for your kind comments. It seems the app and, thus, the WiFi connection process has changed in the two years since releasing this video.
House On the Mend and turns out the one in the house I just bought is not the WiFi version unfortunately but still a great video.
Too slow for me. But thanks!
Great vid -thanks !
@John C thank you so much!!!
good video. solid dude.
Conlan thank you for your kind comment.
I had to download the Honeywell Home app to connect the thermostat to my wifi router. It will walk you through the initial set-up. On my Samsung/Android phone, in my wifi settings, I had to select to connect to my thermostat. Next, I had to select manage router to get to the screen shown (17:31) where I can connect to my wifi router.
James thank you for the update.
One of the best video good job 👍
Thank you very much for your kind comments.
Question, I want install the thermostat but I am not living at the house at the moment, I can send a technician to instal it and then pair it on my phone remotely, What are the steps do that please?
We’re bout to get our air fixed and we’re getting one of these and a new air system
Great video 👍👍👍👍👍
joesantm Thank you very much!
This guy not only knows his business he can explain it CLEARLY with words and piks EXCELLENT
Don thank you for your kind comment.
Good vid, thanks for sharing. Looks straight forward but I'm sure I'll refer back, come install time :)
Thank you, Tim.
very clear instructions
Thank you so much!!
Thank you...changed my wifi router and could not figure out how to change it. Thank you so much...
You are very welcome. So glad it helped!!
Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
You are very welcome, Xavier! Thank you for watching.
I was about to buy this but I read this review: The temperature differential, otherwise known as the cycle rate, is +/- 0.5 degree. This thermostat was turning my compressor on and off within 5 minutes only to do so again within a minute or 2 when the temp went back up a half a degree. Do you think that this is a real issue with this thermostat? Thanks for your input!
I spoke to my customer and they confirm the A/C unit does seem to come on more often for shorter periods of time but their power consumption has dropped.
House On the Mend Thanks!
I'm replacing this model with similar. Do I need to take off the backplate and rewire, or just put the new front console on the old backplate? Thanks
Great video. I hate to say it but you should do the video again and be more clear on how to connect the wifi and add in the address of the thermostat or at least tell us to find it in our instructions. The app is TCC not honeywell app for my install (I saw that in another comment). I watch several and other than trying to figure out that it was my wifi settings on my phone that I had to connect it was great. Thanks for all the people like you that let me (a computer programmer) be a handy man.
Hi Phillip. I posted this video in February 2018. As you can imagine, the smart phone app has been updated multiple times. Therefore, the exact procedure I demonstrated in the video has changed.
Great tutorial!! Question, do you have to turn the A/C off on the fuse box?
Ron yes you should. The wires at the thermostat are low voltage and not a threat to you but, if they touch each other, they might kick the HVAC on and off multiple times which could damage the system.
I don't see how to change the "am" "pm" on the time during setup. Does it matter?
love the way you made the face plate adapter
Jimw thank you so much!
Hi,
I don’t get the connection failure instead of wifi blinking option.
Is there a solution for it?
Very well explained. I have a question. My old thermostat is battery powered and it only has 2 wires connected (W and RH). The thermostat is only used for my gas heating system. What is my next basic step? Do I need to change the wiring? Thanks
Luis this and all WiFi enabled thermostats must have supplied power. You can purchase a plug in adapter that will mimic the “C” wire.
Where are the batteries in the thermostat ? I've been having trouble with that.
Using the plate was a great idea! Thank you. I have almost the same set up (blue for C instead of brown) but it doesn’t seem to be getting power. Do you have any suggestions?
If I was diagnosing the issue, I would look at the connections of the wires to the mounting plate making sure I didn’t push a wire in too far where the insulation was blocking the connection. Then I would test the C wire with a volt meter to make sure it is supplying power.
My sister just installed mine. Replaces a Prostat T855 with batteries (not smart) that stopped working. She used a patch, spackle instead of the plate but it doesn't look good. Back to the thermostat. My old thermostat didn't use the c blue or brown wire. She connected the blue and the furnace turns on but not the thermostat. There's no display. Also the front half doesn't click into the back plate like yours does. I'm wondering if we should try the brown wire instead of the blue to power the thermostat?
I have been trying to get mine installed for 2 days wires were too short so had to cut into the wall to extend them but that's not the issue.. the issue is the thermostat is not coming on
no need to set clock if you are going to be doing network connection. It will do it when it is linked.
I’m helping my dad remove and install this thermostat and we connected each one correctly however we don’t have an orange and every time we try putting the timer it just turns off
Great video. Keep it up!
Thank you, Thomas!
What we would be helpful is a troubleshooting for frequently asked questions. For example my thermostat keeps blinking while I am trying to set the time and day. Overall it’s a very helpful video for those who are overwhelmed by a lot of information in booklets
So I connected it and have power to it. But my heat isn’t turning on to blow out the heat. I Only have green, white and red wires. Any suggestions to problem?
Mine previous Honeywell had a just four wires connected with extra aa batteries. But new one has built in battery I have matched it every single wires but still new Honeywell not lighting up!! What would be mine next step? Help please
You are great!
Soltan thank you very much!
Very thorough! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the kind comment!!
I just installed mine the the heater kicked on but the screen is blank it’s not lighting up
Just got ours setup today this thing is amazing!!! I can control it by voice!! With Alexa!
Tiffany I agree. Certainly not as sleek looking as the Nest thermostat but functions great.
Excellent video
Thank you, Arturo!!
When I register it shows Registration in Progress, but just spins forever (so far 30 minutes.) Anyone have this issue or a workaround?
Thank you.
gsilcoful you’re very welcome.
cant get it to blow cold air??!!??.... house currently uses HoneyWell TH5110. thought it should be a pretty quick and easy transition. must have cold air in Arizona; 53 days over 110deg this summer.
l think you did a great job with the back plate. great idea. i have a nest i think it is easier to install.
Nelson I absolutely agree with you the Nest thermostat is much easier to install. It also comes with its’ own custom back plate. I have installed every product Nest makes and they all link well to WiFi.
Thank you
You are very welcome!
can i lock the manual wall control so that it can only operate from the app. So that children can't change an d lock a temp in.
Monique, here is a link to the Honeywell site’s list of thermostats with a keypad lock feature:
www.honeywellhome.com/en/questions/can-i-lock-my-thermostat-so-that-no-one-can-change-the-settings?br=%7BA0E90662-8B1E-469F-990A-7D8F5F127B1C%7D%7C5cdd679e07884d57b03affbf3ebc5b40&link=yourhome.honeywell.com/supportsearch
I have the exact same Honeywell Thermostat with a heat pump. Could you give me instructions to wire this scenario. The old thermostat only used the 5 wires, but there are other wires tucked into the wall. Eg. orange
Ted the Honeywell manual has multiple pages devoted to different wiring scenarios. I would refer you to the manual.
I'm replacing my previous thermostat with an Honeywell RTH 6500. My old thermostat has 6 wire(O for orange, w for white, G for green, R for red, black=C, and Y for yellow) . What should I do with the O ? The users manual says if your old thermostat had an O wire and not a B wire , attach the o wire to the O/B wire. Then should I tailgate O wire to the W wire since w wire already occupies the space where OB should Go.
Page 18 of the manual shows the W wire going into the “AUX/E” port and the O wire standing alone.
I tried everything to connect to the wifi, but it doesn't let me register my device.
Awesome. I moved in a home that has this thermostat, so I don't have any of the paperwork. Is it easy to take the thermostat down so I can get the information from the back to set-up the wifi?
It isn’t easy like the Nest thermostat. I would google it to find a video.
Can it be set to change from heat to cool and back automatically? Great job on the video.
No however you can change from heat to cool manually on the device or via the app on your phone.
Will this thermostat work with a forced air furnace with a variable speed fan the nest would not work with it
All set up - thanks... I can not seem to control (turn on/off) the FAN from Alexa... Am I missing something?
Grandt you must first activate the “Honeywell Total Comfort Connect” skill in your Alexa app. Then read thru the skill information to see what you are able to do by voice.
I have a question I have central air but when it clicks off it can’t go back on right away it has to wait 4 minutes before it has the okay to turn the unit back on is there a way to program that thermostat to not click the unit on right wen it goes off so that I don’t burn out the unit bec the thermostat I have now is set that way to protect the unit is there a way for this one as well? Because I’m looking forward too getting this thermostat soon
Interesting question. Seems like every window and door in the house would have to be open to run the risk of the HVAC unit turning back on after only four minutes.
House On the Mend no I mean like let’s say it just shuts off but someone goes and turns it back on mine will not click for 4 minutes to protect the unit
House On the Mend is there a way to program this thermostat to do that as well? so in case someone touches it not realizing the unit just click off
@@bornintoacorruptsystem9to5 the next time your A/C tech comes to the house, or you can do it yourself pretty easily, have them install a time delay on the outside compressor

it keeps blinking why
Hi everyone. Need HELP.. R and Rc has a metal piece in it...?? How do I attach my red wire, please?? I can't remove the piece. Instruction says only remove if have whatever extra wires. I have exactly 5 as needed my C - I assume is blue and the rest as suppose to be. But I can't attach it.. please help.
Do you need to turn off power first? I think that's important for those that are not safety conscious.
Yes. I suggest turning off the breaker at 9:15 in the video.
i bought one could not find c wire and ended up crossing 2 wires by accident i heard a pop in the furnace area now blower will not work..im hoping just a blower relay
Ouch!
Well done video. What do you do if the old thermostat only uses 2 wires ?
You gained a subscriber today
Joe I’m assuming the old thermostat only controls heating or an air conditioner? (Not both)
You did not illustrate how to remove this thermostat from the wall in the event of wifi failure ?? How do you remove the thermostat from the wall base ??
If you get a power outage will the thermostat go back to factory settings?
Nano, no it goes right back to your applied settings.
Hi, I bought the panel and the sensors, and installed it myself. I have wifi communicator. I don't have an alarm company, and I don't want to have one. How can I create an account (username and password), and use the total connect 2.0?
I just purchased this Thermostat a week ago and on the wi fi setup I can get to the portion were it asks for the Mac info, and I get a message that's its invalid, the numbers are entered correctly and the mac info on the unit is the same as on the card, the manufacturing date is 2005 15 years ago would this be a problem, also I read that a step is missing in the directions. if someone could explain the exact screens and steps that would be helpful. Iam signed up registered with everything that is required, thanks...
Same for me did you figure it out??? Thanks
Can I control the temperature and fan while away from my home? Like if I were to travel somewhere, can I turn the AC on or off when I want to?
Yes, very easily, with the app.
My app wants to know which device I'm installing. The RTF6580WF is not listed. The closest thing listed is a Lyric Smart Controller. When I try to install this device it wants to know "Have you put your panel on Start WAC?" The manual says nothing about that and neither does your video.
I toke my old honey well thermostat off the 1 with the 3 buttons at the bottom an brought the wifi an it's not working do you know what's the problem
I don't have a brown wire. I was hoping that you would tell what the white in the box was used for or what to do when you don't have a brown wire.
Diana the color of the wire isn’t necessarily important. The important thing is to note which connector it was attached to on the previous thermostat (C, Y, R, G etc.).
So we just did a set up our self. Everything was connected properly. On e we turned on the AC it shuts of after 10 seconds. Then on and off. What did we do wrong
No idea. Sorry.
What about changing from ac to heat and heat to ac?
Mike that’s done right on the keypad.
Just a note. I don’t have a “C” wire, but Honeywell has an addendum workaround, look for an extra wire in the wall, or you can use the “G” if your heating and cooling system meets certain criteria.
I have a blue wire, will that work as the C?
You have to test it for power.
@@houseonthemend Thank you.
You are very welcome.
Can I use the RTH6580WF on a commercial center unit in my church building?
I don’t know
Can this thermostat automatically switch from heat to cool and vice versa??? And how?
Jeffrey you have to switch manually on the keypad or in the “system” section of the app.
I have 5-wires on my wall and just purchased this product. I have Red(Rc), Yellow,(Y1), Green(G), Black(W1), Blue.(Common). Should this work? Wiring is the challenging part for me since I am first time DIY?
Yes it should.
We have had to reinstall the thermostat due to a lost signal, but on a android phone. The login and set up is different than that of an iPhone. Could you please explain?
No I’m sorry. I don’t use Android phones.
thanks
Real Lady you’re quite welcome.
Hi just watch your video what app is it for the WiFi Honeywell Home thermostat. And I from Las Vegas NV to.
TCC Connect
How do you reconnect it on my phone when i click on wifi and select thermostat it says due to inactivity need to reconnect it it says to take thermostat off wall plate reattach is this accurate or is there another way - my thermostat been installed for awhile just want to hook it up to my phone
Ryan, I know of no other way to connect than what is outlined in the instruction manual. Good luck.
If you take too long the connection timed out after 10 minutes even though it is blinking still for setup.
How do you check the power of the common wire (brown) to make sure that it's live? I have the exact setup with matching colors like yours, but mine never turns on. I'm pretty sure that I connect everything correctly and triple-check the connections too. Nothing comes on. I even bought a second one just to be sure that the first isn't faulty. Still, nothing comes on. I give up and buy a battery-powered version of this unit. Any idea?
Common wire is tested with a volt meter. You are looking for 24 volts AC.
Why does mine go to 50 some times ,no preprogramm?
I have never experienced an unwanted change in set temperature. I believe I had one other similar comment in this thread however.
Can we lock the thermostat from being changed via the app? I run short term rentals and need to limit the range of the thermostat
Great question, Matthew. To my knowledge, you cannot.
