Honeywell smart thermostats complete review

Smart home products – or home appliances that can connect to other devices or networks, like smartphones – offer convenience and efficiency and are becoming increasingly popular. From doorbells and locks to smoke detectors to thermostats, smart home devices can be controlled from virtually anywhere. Honeywell has a wide range of smart thermostats to choose from that can help manage a home’s energy habits. In this article, we review some of Honeywell's most popular smart thermostats.

Honeywell thermostats are smart thermostats or Wi-Fi-enabled home automation devices that control a home’s HVAC. Just like traditional thermostats, Honeywell thermostats are wall-mounted control systems that display a zone’s temperature and settings. However, unlike traditional thermostats, Honeywell thermostats can be controlled remotely, learn your temperature preferences, monitor HVAC health, send maintenance reminders and savings suggestions, and more.

Once installed, most Honeywell thermostats connect to the Alexa app, Google Home app, or the Honeywell Total Connect Comfort App, allowing users to adjust the temperature of their homes from anywhere and receive alerts to catch potential issues early on. Some thermostats can sense unusual heating or cooling patterns and trigger the apps to send an HVAC system alert at first detection. The newer thermostats can also use proximity to automatically adjust temperatures to save energy when no one is home.

Honeywell offers a range of thermostats; the WiFi Smart Color Thermostat, T9 Smart Thermostat, T10 Pro Smart Thermostat, and WiFi 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat are the most reviewed thermostats on Honeywell’s site.

WiFi Smart Color Thermostat

The WiFi Smart Color Thermostat is one of Honeywell’s best-selling smart thermostats. This thermostat enables you to control the temperature of your home from anywhere – whether you’re home or not! Through the Honeywell Total Connect Comfort App, you can monitor and adjust your heating and cooling usage, view the indoor humidity levels, and receive email alerts related to your safety, comfort, and energy usage patterns. You can set it to send you alerts when there’s an extreme temperature change expected, as well as when your filters need to be cleaned. The WiFi Smart Color Thermostat has seven day programming features, is ENERGY STAR certified, and has a customizable screen to match your home's surrounding decor.

T9 Smart Thermostat

The T9 Smart Thermostat has learning capabilities to understand your temperature patterns and allows you to program a customized seven day schedule. The thermostat alerts you when humidity or temperature falls above or below your set range. The thermostat pairs well with smart room sensors to help you adjust the temperature from anywhere and stay cozy in the rooms that matter. You can place sensors where you want to see each room's temperature and humidity or use the multi-room display on the thermostat's touch screen – or in the Resideo app – to focus on rooms based on occupancy or a specific schedule you choose. When focusing on multiple rooms, the T9 works toward creating an average temperature, balancing the needs across the whole home.

T10 Pro Smart Thermostat

The T10 Pro Smart Thermostat is one of Honeywell's most advanced thermostats. Like the T9 model, the T10 Pro Smart Thermostat pairs well with Smart Room Sensors to help you adjust the temperature from anywhere. With an extensive five-year warranty, customizable touch screen, and safety alert features, this thermostat is meant for ultimate comfort and safety. The T10 Pro can pair with sensors to customize your humidity and temperature level specifically for each room in the house.

WiFi 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat

The WiFI 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat is a customizable and programmable thermostat created specifically to optimize your energy consumption and save on monthly bills. The color changing display is created to match your home decor and displays both inside and outside temperatures and humidity levels. With its energy-saving and away modes, this a great choice for you if you’re frequently away from home but still like to monitor the temperature in your house. You can set schedules corresponding to your activity on this thermostat and customize each mode to run at a certain time.
