Congratulations on your purchase of a color touchscreen programmable thermostat. When registered to Total Connect Comfort, you can remotely monitor and control the heating and cooling system in your home or business—you can stay connected to your comfort system wherever you go. Total Connect Comfort is the perfect solution if you travel frequently, own a vacation home, a business, or manage an investment property or if you are simply looking for peace of mind.

This thermostat works with common 24-volt systems such as forced air, hydronic, heat pump, oil, gas, and electric. It will not work with millivolt systems, such as a gas fireplace, or with 120/240-volt systems such as baseboard electric heat.

MERCURY NOTICE: Do not place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at www.thermostat-recycle.org or 1-800-238-8192 for information on how and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat.

NOTICE: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not run the air conditioner if the outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).

Installing your thermostat

You might need the following tools to install this thermostat:

• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Pen
• Pencil
• Level (optional)
• Drill and bits (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster)(optional)
• Hammer (optional)
• Electrical tape (optional)

Switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system.
Important! To protect your equipment, switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system switch.

Remove the old thermostat faceplate and leave the wires connected.

• 2a Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference.
• 2b If no wire is connected to a terminal labeled C or no C terminal exists on the old thermostat, view the Alternate Wiring videos at honeywellhome.com/wifithermostat or reference the C-wire addendum in the box.

Important! A C wire is required and is the power source for your thermostat. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.

Note: You will need a picture of your wire connections to wire the new thermostat.

Installing your thermostat

1. 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 color.
   Note: If no tag matches a terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag.
2. Remove the wallplate. Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labeled and disconnected.
3. Mount the wallplate for the thermostat. Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat.
   If necessary: Drill 3/16-in holes for drywall. Drill 7/32-in holes for plaster.

Note: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling back into the wall.

Installing your thermostat

Important! This thermostat requires a C, or common, wire for power. The C, or common, wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. If you are replacing an existing thermostat, it might not have a C wire connected to it. Many older mechanical or battery-operated thermostats do not require a C wire. See the C Wire Addendum document included in this package for more information.

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.

Wiring

• For conventional heating/cooling systems (natural gas, oil or electric furnace, air conditioner).  “Glossary”  for further definition.
• For a heat pump system.“Glossary” for further definition

Wiring (Conventional System)

Wire the thermostat to your conventional system. Starting with the C Wire, match the sticky tag on the wire to the terminal labels. You must have a C wire. Straighten the wire and gently slide it into the terminal hole until it clicks into place. (If you need to remove a wire, use a pen tip to press the terminal release and then pull the wire out.)

Note: Refer to the wiring picture you took in Step 2.
Tip: To make it easier to slide the wire into place, use a pen tip to hold down the terminal release.

Note: The wiring for your application might be different than the wiring shown below.

Wiring (Conventional System continued)

• In the image on the right, check the box next to each connection. You will use this checklist in Step 9.
• Verify the wire is firmly secured by gently pulling on the wire.
• Repeat steps a–d for all other wires.
• Push any excess wire back into the wall opening after all wires are installed.

Important!

Check the box for each wire you connect. You will need this information in Step 9.

Wiring (Heat Pump System)

Wire the thermostat to your heat pump.

• Starting with the C Wire, match the sticky tag on the wire to the terminal labels.
• Slide the wire gently into the terminal hole until it clicks into place. (If you need to remove a wire, use a pen tip to press the terminal release and then pull the wire out.)

Note: The wiring for your application might be different than the wiring shown below.

• c In the image on the right, check the box next to each connection. You will use this checklist in Step 9.
• d Verify the wire is firmly secured by gently pulling on the wire.
• e Repeat steps a–d for all other wires.
  Note: If old thermostat has separate wires on AUX and E, use a wire nut to attach both wires to a separate wire. Slide this third wire into the W2-Aux/E terminal.
• f Push any excess wire back into the wall opening after all wires are installed.

Alternate wiring (Conventional System)

Use this if your wire labels don’t match the terminal labels.
Note: You must have a C wire or equivalent.

Alternate wiring key (Conventional System)

• If you have both an R and Rc wire, unplug the jumper loop by pulling on the wire loop.
• If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, the RH wire to the R terminal, and unplug the jumper loop.

• If you have both an R and Rc wire, unplug the jumper loop by pulling on the wire loop.
• If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, the RH wire to the R terminal, and unplug the jumper loop.
• If your old thermostat had both V and VR wires, check honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat for help.
• If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires and is controlling a single-zone heat pump system, attach the B wire to the C.
• If there is more than one thermostat controlling the system, call Resideo zoning at 800-828-8367 for wiring assistance.
• If your old thermostat had separate Y1, W1, and W2 wires, check honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat for help.
• If the old thermostat has separate wires on Aux and E, use a wire nut to attach both wires to a separate wire. Slide this third wire into the W2-Aux/E terminal.
• This is the system monitor. If the monitor finds a problem, you will see an orange alert button on the thermostat home screen.

Attach the thermostat to the wallplate. Align the thermostat with the wallplate and then snap it into place.

Installing your thermostat

Switch the heating/cooling system ON. Important!

• 8a Verify that the C wire is connected at the thermostat and at the heating/cooling system.
• 8b Make sure the heating/cooling system door is firmly secured.
• 8c Switch power back ON for your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or its power switch.

Before connecting to your Wi-Fi network,
You need to set initial thermostat options to define your heating/cooling system:

• Language
• Home or business

You can customize other options later

Follow prompts on the screen to select appropriate options.

• 9a Touch the language you want the thermostat to display, then touch Next.
• 9b Select Home or Business installation, then touch Next
• 9c Touch Next, or name the thermostat location—touch THERMOSTAT and follow the rest of the instructions.
• 9d Select what type of heating and cooling equipment your thermostat will control and touch Next.
