You will need:

Philips Screwdriver
Flat-Head Screwdriver
Smartphone or tablet
Level
Home Wi-Fi Password

You May Need:

Wire Stripper
Needle-nose Pliers
Drill and 7/32 Drill Bit

Removing your old thermostat:

Turn the power off – at your breaker box or at your HVAC system (typically controlled by a mounted light switch on the furnace / air handler)

Check that the system is off – Switch your thermostat to heating or cooling and wait 5-7 minutes. If the system does not start, power is off (If your thermostat lost power when you turned off the breaker / switch, your power is off.)

Remove your old thermostat from the wall plate – Look for screws, buttons or clasps. Unscrew the screws or depress the clasps and pull the thermostat gently away from the wall plate

Check your wires – Your thermostat cannot operate with line voltage systems. Line voltage systems have thick wires black or white wires with wire nuts. Contact Customer Support for model recommendations if you have this type of wiring. Also, this thermostat cannot operate with a “communicating” system. Communicating thermostats typically have wires labeled DATA, or 1,2,3. Contact an HVAC contractor for more information on compatible thermostats.

Take a picture of your wiring – be sure to be able to clearly see each wire and the terminal markings they connect to.

Remove any jumpers – Jumpers, or small loops of wires, connect multiple terminals together.

Label the wires with the included stickers that match the terminals they are connected to.

Do you have a wire connected to the C terminal? – A C-Wire is required to power up the thermostat

If you do not have a C or common wire, your thermostat screen will not power up. The C wire connects to the C terminal on the HVAC systems’ 24VAC transformer.

A C or common wire that does not connect directly to the C on the transformer, but instead connects to another common may experience random restarts / shutoff.

Option A – Finding the C-Wire: There might be an extra wire pushed into the wall or wrapped around the wire bundle. Gently pull the wire bundle out of the wall to check for unused wires. If you have an unused wire, connect that wire to the C terminal on your new thermostat. Connect the other end of the unused wire to the C terminal on your heating/cooling system (or the zone panel if your home uses more than one thermostat to control temperature). Be sure any other wire(s) connected to the C terminal stay securely connected when you re-tighten the terminal. Not all heating/cooling equipment use the C label for the 24 VAC common wire. If your heating/cooling equipment does not have a C terminal, check the system manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which terminal is the 24 VAC common. Complete installation by following the remaining steps in this guide.

Option B – Using the C-Wire Power Adapter: If you do not have an unused wire in the wall, see the C Wire Adapter Installation Guide included with the T9 and T5+ thermostat. For Wi-Fi thermostats that do not include the C Wire Adapter, go to https://shop.honeywellhome.com/category/Accessories to order.

Disconnect the wires and remove the old wall plate

Bundle and insert the wires through the new back plate

Insert the screws /wall anchors

Insert the jumper loop below the R and Rc terminals if you only have one R or Rc wire. If you have separate R and Rc wires, remove the jumper loop

Connect the wires to the appropriately marked terminals on the wall plate

Attach the thermostat faceplate and turn the power back on.

Wiring Details:

The thermostat uses 1 wire to control each of your HVAC system’s primary functions, such as heating, cooling, fan, etc. See the diagram below for what each wire controls on your system:

Y – Compressor Stage 1 (Cooling)
Y2 – Compressor Stage 2 (Cooling)
G – Fan
C – Common
L/A – A – Input for heat pump fault
W -O/B – Heat Stage 1 (Heating) / Reversing valve for Heat Pump systems
W2 -Aux/E – Heat Stage 2 (Heating) / Backup Heat
R – 24vac (Heating transformer)
Rc – 24vac (Cooling transformer)

A passcode will be displayed. Record this 4-digit code for your records. Touch OK.

Touch DONE to return to the Main Menu or thermostat display.

Unlocking the thermostat:

Touch MENU. Touch SECURITY SETTINGS.

Enter the passcode.

After the last digit is entered, the thermostat will advance to the SECURITY screen.

Touch CHANGE LOCK MODE. Touch UNLOCKED. Press Done to return to the thermostat Main Menu.

Locating my passcode:

The screen lock passcode is not adjustable on any Honeywell Home / resideo thermostat. To obtain the passcode, remove the thermostat faceplate by pulling it gently away from the wall plate. On the label on the back of the thermostat face-plate, locate the DATE CODE. (4-digit number located on the right side of the label)

The passcode is calculated by adding 1234 to the date code. (For example: A date code of 1644 would have a passcode of 2878)

Backlight:

The thermostat has an adjustable inactive screen brightness. This allows the user to dim the screen to their desired preference when not active. (When actively using the thermostat display [i.e. – touching buttons / making changes] the thermostat screen defaults to full brightness. This feature is not adjustable.)

Adjusting Screen Brightness:

Touch MENU. Touch PREFERENCES. Touch Backlight.

Select the desired backlight brightness. Test the backlight brightness by touching the TEST BACKLIGHT icon (during testing, touch the screen again to end the test).

Smart Response Technology: (also referred to as Smart Recovery, Smart Start, and Adaptive Intelligent Recovery)

The thermostat has the option to begin your schedule setting changes early in order to reach your desired temperature at the start of the schedule period. When active, the thermostat “learns” how long it takes to reach setpoint within your home, and starts heating or cooling early. (ex. “My home is 65° at night, but set to 70° at 7:00a.m.” Rather than waiting until 7:00a.m. to start warming up, Recovery begins Heating the home early [based on its algorithm and learned behavior] and starts heating the home at 6:00a.m. (actual start time will vary), reaching the 70° setting by 7:00a.m.) When active, RECOVERY is displayed on the thermostat screen in the top right corner.

Turning Recovery On / Off:

Touch MENU. Touch PREFERENCES. Touch SMART RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY.

Touch the ON or OFF icons to enable or disable SMART RESPONSE. Press DONE when complete

Clock:

When connected to Wi-Fi, the thermostat displays the local time based on the account creators Zip Code (as related to Time Zone). When not connected to Wi-Fi, the clock can be configured on the thermostat display. 12hr or 24hr time displays are optional, as is Daylight savings time (DST)

Clean Screen:

The Clean Screen feature disables the thermostat screen for 30 seconds. Wipe your thermostat with a clean, damp cloth. After the timer runs out, the thermostat screen is reactivated and returns to the main display.

Temp Scale:

You can adjust the temperature display settings at any time. Display temperatures are available in Fahrenheit or Celsius

Auto Changeover:

The changeover feature (also referred to as Changeover) allows your thermostat to automatically switch from heating to cooling, or vice versa, depending on the temperature in your home. The thermostat has a mandatory 1.5° differential or “swing”, so even if you set your thermostat heating temp to 70° and the cooling temp to 70° and turn changeover on, the temperature must rise or fall at least 1.5° before the thermostat will switch modes. (For the previous example, if the thermostat is in “auto”, but last called for heating, the temperature would have to climb to 71.5 degrees before switching to cooling mode and turning on)

Reset:

The thermostat has 2 reset options: Factory or Schedule

Factory Reset: clears all of the thermostats programming and resets it to factory defaults

*Prior to performing a Factory Reset, we recommend recording your current ISU configuration (see Setup and Configuration)

Schedule reset: clears the schedule and resets it to the daily default schedule listed below:

Wake 6:00a.m. Cool 78 Heat 70

Away 8:00a.m. Cool 85 Heat 62

Home 6:00p.m. Cool 78 Heat 70

Sleep 10:00p.m. Cool 82 Heat 62

Equipment Status:

This option displays what is currently being controlled by your system and its operational status. (ex.- If your fan is on, it will display your heating and cooling stages as OFF, but will show your fan as ON)

This screen also displays the thermostat model, software versions, and date code information

You can also connect this thermostat to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to control it through the other voice assistants in your home.

Why won’t my WiFi 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat screen power up?

The thermostat operates between 20-30 VAC, “supplied” to the R/RC terminals and “returning” through the C terminal. A C wire, connected to C on the equipment, is required for the thermostat to power itself.

Verify the furnace / air handler door is closed, the power switch is on, and the breakers are on.

Confirm you have a C wire in the C terminal. If your previous thermostat did not use a C wire, it’s unlikely that it is connected at the equipment. Verify the C wire is connected to the C terminal in your furnace or air handler.

Check your jumper loop. If you have a wire in the R terminal and no wire in the RC terminal, verify the jumper loop is inserted. If you have a wire in the R terminal and a wire in the Rc terminal, the jumper loop will be removed.

Advanced steps:

Using a multimeter, measure the AC voltage between your R/ RC wire and your C wire. Your thermostat operates between 20-30VAC, any reading outside this range should be addressed by a Professional Contractor.

Why is my WiFi 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat not following my schedule?

Your thermostat is equipped with the Smart Response Technology feature, which allows the thermostat to “learn” how long it takes to reach a desired setpoint and begin heating or cooling earlier than your scheduled start time. To disable this feature, go to Menu – Preferences on your thermostat screen.

Other causes can include incorrect time setting on the thermostat, or if connected to WiFi and registered, incorrect zip code being listed under the location settings. *Only available to modify from the My Total Connect Comfort web portal – not currently supported in the mobile app*

Why is my WiFi 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat set to heating, but I feel cool or mild air and not heat?

Check your jumper loop. If you have a wire in the RC terminal and no wire in the R terminal, insert the jumper loop. If you have a wire in the R terminal and a wire in the Rc terminal, remove the jumper loop.

Check your wiring. If you have a heat pump, you may or may not have a backup heat source. (W controls your first stage of heating for Gas/Oil/Electric systems. O/B and Y control your first stage heating for heat pump systems. Backup heat sources must be connected to the W2, Aux, or E terminal for proper functionality.) If necessary, follow the wires back to your furnace or air handler and confirm the wires match the terminals on the control board.

Check your configuration. Most commonly, O/B is energized in Cooling (O on cool). For Rheem or Ruud brand heat pumps, the O/B must energize on heating (B on Heat).

Why is my Heating not Working on my WiFi 9000 Color Touchscreen Thermostat?

Your primary cooling (1^st stage) is controlled by the Y terminal on your thermostat. (Or the Y and O/B terminal if you have a heat pump system) In addition, the G terminal is activated to turn on the fan in your home to circulate the cooler air.

Confirm the furnace / air handler door is closed and turned on. Check the circuit breaker to your equipment.

Confirm the thermostat is set to Cool mode and the setpoint (the smaller number at the top of the thermostat display), is set to a temperature lower than the display temp (the larger number in the center of the display).

Confirm the message “Cool On” is solid (not blinking) on the thermostat display.

Confirm your wiring is correct, and the wires have good contact in the terminals (tug gently on the wires)

Advanced steps:

Using a multimeter, measure the AC voltage between your Rc wire and your Y wire. Your thermostat operates between 20-30VAC, any reading outside this range should be addressed by a Professional Contractor.

Do the color of the wires correspond to the letters on my new thermostat?

There is no code governing wire colors and thermostat connections. The thermostat should be wired by the letters found next to the wire screw terminal block. If you do not know the letter labels, then you can trace the wires back to the air handler/furnace or heat pump/ac unit. That will allow you to determine the function of each wire at the system and then allow you to attach it to the matching terminal on the thermostat.
