I do age back for living and I have to say that this term stat is the best out there. Especially 4 Homeowners that are afraid of programmable thermostats.
Very helpful intro video. Thank you. BTW, would you know how to adjust the switchover temperature setting for a house with dual fuel systems? I wish to have the system switch from heat pump to gas furnace for heat when the indoor temperature is at 69 degrees.
Hi. Very usefully the video. I installed two th8321R in a HVAC system. I´ve a problem: I can´t set de date and eventually the schedule is running in a diferent day. For example: On mondays the schedule is running in the sunday schedule. I saw the owner manual but i never had the option to change the date. What can i do???? Thanks
Good review, I'm having estimates done for a heat pump.. and this controller-thermostat is what they are recommending. I'm also looking at the Lennox CS7500. By the way the other side of the box was in French.. not spanish, I'm French so I know.
Yes, this thermostat works great. I was lucky saved like 200-300 Dollars since It worked fine and I didn't need a new one when my new furnace was installed. I still have yet to replace my AC, I was looking at a Heat Pump. I would recommend this thermostat, Less hassle. Not for sure on the Lennox brand, I have an Amana Furnace now. Oh ok hey thanks for the Feedback on the video.
I have the dual fuel version. Customer says wait gets stuck . Stuck on wait for hours? I show up and have yet to see it. But what would cause a dual fuel to be stuck in wait. Voltage good on arrival
This was super helpful!! Trying to unlock this thing at work to turn down the AC and now I know how to find the passcode. Thanks!! Can’t wait to try this tomorrow morning at work LOL
Where did you need to enter the password to change the temperature? When I try to turn the A/C on I can get to system and hit cool and set a temp. But the temp never changes
@@Bella123- Only thing I can think would be a factory reset. I am not sure it has that option, you may have to leave it unplugged from base plate with no batteries for a while. I would look in owners manual best place to start. Sorry I couldn't help more haven't had the issue you described.
@@IndianaDiylast year couldn't get this thermostat to switch over to aux heat since it was to cold for heat pump. Thought about buying a outside wire sensor for this thermostat instead of the wireless to see if it would switch on aux heat.
Honeywell vision pro 8000 has option to adjust cycles because no differential . Set it on 1 or 2 cycles per hour and no difference . AC continues to be ran by factory set of .5 degrees . Could be the wiring ?
I have this kind of device.. TH8320R1003, i replaced the batteries.. 4 AA and 1(3volt) .. when i put back that 4AA batteries , i now get a "Remove all 5 batteries for 5 minutes" i did that and waited 10min, 30min, etc.. but as soon as i put 4AA batteries.. the screen show "Remove all 5 batteries for 5 mintues" i'm just wondering if you have seen this before.. thanks.
They have a newer version that has a color screen. RTH9600WF I’m planning on upgrading to this an doing a review soon. But The one I currently have is older and you needed the Redlink box for internet to use the app. Now Both thermostats should work with your set up no Problem, Make sure you have a C wire for power. Hope this info helps.
Will this work without a c wire? My system is newer but the house is older and my current thermostat doesn't have a c wire. I received 2 of these for free from my electric company and would like to use them. Would I still be able to use it with Wi-Fi without the c wire?
Hello, my current honeywell yth9421c1002 is connected with 3 wires that are red,white and blue. Do you know if this one will work with my old one? Not sure why I have weird colors. What model # would you recommend?
Sorry for late reply. The one is my video is a universal thermostat and i have been told by several furnace installers that its one of the best one out there.
@@IndianaDiy Don't know why they would tell you that except they enjoy the service calls on all the malfunctions and making more profit selling it to you. We were all ex Military guys.

yes, thats correct, most of the time the C wire is run from the transformer on the furnace or air handler. it is often connected to the furnace control board.
The AC or your blower fan? You may need to chk your wires and make sure they are connected properly and chk your fan setting make sure it is not set to on. Other than that if it continues to do that something is not connected right or cross connected. I would get that fixed before your bill is sky high. Also if everything is connected right is it a older ac system it may need charged coil could be froze over or something else.
@@IndianaDiy thank you,I believe it was the fan and yes it was set to on,it literally just cut off and I will keep an eye on it..thanks for the quick response
@@nateword Auto turns it on when needed, Circ turns on every so many minutes and runs for a set time and shuts off until the A/C turns on. So auto I use a lot, But if you have allergies than Circ setting is best as long as you have some really good filters.
@@IndianaDiy will put it on auto,the thing running all night really irked me,and I hope it will work better now,its about to be 91 here today so I have the a/c running,will keep an eye on it to make sure it cuts off when the desired temp is reached
Hello. Question- how far in advance does the system kick on before the schedule time. For example let's say my wake time is 6am. Is it supposed to kick on at 6am or will it come out in advance of 6am. Thanks.
sorry I don't have any secrets to tell I think that's just because when I filmed it was Winter and that humidity gauge may not be reading correctly. you're better to actually have smaller humidity gauges or temperature and humidity gauges in each room if you really want to know the specifics for each room. I have always found the temperature and humidity varies from room to room because of the size of the room the air flow to the room, there are also other factors depending on how the AC or furnace system is piped or where the vents are.
Do you know how to reset the thermostat if you don't know the password? Had a drunk brother put a password on it and can't remember it... Have tried to find something online but all of them reference to the older series
It would be nice if someone would tell everyone how to change the batteries. All the videos tell you how to take the faceplate off but not how to change batteries. The battery compartment says "Do not remove" but those 4 AA batteries are what has to be replaced. And it is almost impossible to remove the batteries anyway since the compartment holds them in on both sides. It's my guess that the people who put these videos on TH-cam don't know how to change the batteries either.
Mine originally didn't come with batteries, and I put my own in. I assume the new ones are just set up to not be replaced and use the C wire for power.
Easy open the unit, take out the batteries. They are just AA, plus if you have a "C" wire hooked up you may not even need the batteries except to back up clock or settings.
How do you find the MAC ID on this because it’s my dads house and I can’t find the Manuel but it also said that I can find it in the message center but I can’t seem to get to that screen with the message on it
Wow, That's a interesting question. The MAC Id is probably auto assigned by the Redlink internet Hub unless the model has a built in WIFI it should be printed some where inside the thermostat or possibly be printed on the main board of the thermostat. It also could be in a Menu on the thermostat. Sorry if that's not very helpful I don't have my thermostat internet connected.

@@IndianaDiy do you have a Honeywell THM6000R7001? If so where can I find a power adapter for one near Indianapolis?
Is this a smart thermostat? Aka can i use it with Google nest mini?
It is a smart thermostat. But I'm not sure you will be able to use it with any nest product as it has its own system called redlink.
Honeywell vision pro 8000 has option to adjust cycles because no differential .
Set it on 1 or 2 cycles per hour and no difference . AC continues to be ran by factory set of .5 degrees .
Could be the wiring ?
The cycles could be being controlled by the equipment. Not for sure. Double check the wires and if it continues try factory reset on thermostat.

Hi,
Does this thermostat allow me to control temperature from my phone? Lmk. Thank u.
Yes If you have the red link Internet module sold separately.
what did you do with the c wire and is this working good for you?
+Everything home repair I didn't have to use a c wire with my set up. I have a older bryant furnace. I tried using c wire but wouldn't work.
+Everything home repair update: I had new furnace installed that uses C wire. Thermostat works great.

I don't think so, batteries also power unit if no C wire is available.
1:30 what is that little round battery for, how we understand when it dies?
The memory battery. That should last quite a long time, I have not had it go bad yet. It should show on display when battery dies.
Is there a way to recalibrate the screen? It’s not working and the unit is only 4 years old.
Sorry, late reply. As far as I know, there is no way to recalibrate.
Hello, my current honeywell yth9421c1002 is connected with 3 wires that are red,white and blue.
Do you know if this one will work with my old one? Not sure why I have weird colors. What model # would you recommend?
Red = Power
White = Heat
Green = Fan/Blower
Yellow = A/C
Blue = Common or 24 volts (optional with less overly complicated thermostats).
Buy a Honeywell PRO4000 programmable and throw away this junk!

Ah ok, gotcha. I installed the thermostat haven’t had a issue with it. Knock on wood.
How do you reconnect the Wi-Fi because mine is offline after we had to change our internet passcode?
Not sure I don't have a WiFi model.
I turned off the system but not able to turn it back on. Would you know how?
You should be able to turn is back on in the system menu
During initial start up I only set 2 day periods. How to reset to 4 day periods. Thank you.
You can go back into the "Menu" and "Edit schedule".
google says the c wire should be 24 volts from the furnace or air handler's step down transformer
yes, thats correct, most of the time the C wire is run from the transformer on the furnace or air handler. it is often connected to the furnace control board.
How to reset battery after replacement
Did you ever enable RedLink to add that sensor and what did you have to do to get it going?
I never have yet, but since we had new furnace installed I'm looking at trying it
From reading, looks like you just need a "C" wire or a power source for 24VAC that the "C" would provide. If you fire it up, post an update..
Yes, you are correct I'm looking into what I need and I'll post a update video on it when I do that.
Humidity doesn’t show on mine under the main indoor temp. How do you enable that?
I'm not sure honestly. The thermostat I have it was on automatically.
@@IndianaDiy Nevermind, it is an option in the installer setup menu you can turn on and off
@@jhamm15 Oh sorry I must have missed that, glad you found it.
How to replace 4 lithium batteries? Thanks.
My unit has 4 AA batteries and one replaceable lithium battery is that what your referring too. Those just pop out shouldn’t be hard.
Should my gas furnace switch to aux heat if the temp is only around 28-30ish outside?
I don't think so, do you have a heat pump? Only reason I can think of why it does that, if not setting may need adjusted...
question....mine is running all night even in the "off" setting
what gives??
The AC or your blower fan? You may need to chk your wires and make sure they are connected properly and chk your fan setting make sure it is not set to on.

+SuthenGirl it turn on right a 6am, it does start early. I know some do I think Nest will do that.
Low battery alarm won’t shut up on this thing . Even after I changed them to new “alkaline” batteries.
Not sure. Have you tried resetting the unit.
I dont see any reset options other than pull out all batteries. And that just makes me have to set the date again
You may have to do that, I have never had a problem with the low battery indicator being stuck on.
Thank
How do I modify the humidity?
You would probably want to look in the settings. I am not sure what exactly you're trying to change.
How do you get it to display the outdoor temperature?
You must buy or have the outdoor sensor In order for the outdoor temperature to work. Also you have to enable the outdoor sensor option.
Is there any way I can get a Manual for this thermostat?
Look on their website for the Manual you should be able to download it.
So are we supposed to know what a red link is ?
Best to research the thermostat throughly before you buy it. Redlink is a communication between the thermostat an sensors or internet gateway.
How do you have 26% humidity?! Please tell me your secrets!
sorry I don't have any secrets to tell I think that's just because when I filmed it was Winter and that humidity gauge may not be reading correctly.

why my screen have following schedule have to cancell ?
Your screen should say if it is following the schedule, But the cancel is to go back to manual mode or another setting.
I have to red alert and it won’t connect
I don't have the red link, sorry, can't really help you there.
Does this thermostat not have a MAC ID or CRC ID?
Not that I'm aware of you have to have the redlink internet box to get it to work. That would be where your Mac address would be at.
It's not a wifi thermostat. It uses a different radio frequency. You have to get another piece of equipment to do that internet stuff.
