In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of setting up your Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat and connecting it to the internet.

1. Introduction

In this digital era, having control at your fingertips has become a necessity. With the Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat, you can conveniently monitor and adjust your home's temperature from anywhere. This article will guide you through the setup process, from connecting the thermostat to the internet to registering it and creating an account on the Honeywell website. Let's get started!

2. Requirements for Setting Up the Honeywell Wi-Fi Thermostat

Before we begin, let's ensure that you have everything you need for a smooth setup process. Here are the requirements:

• Password for your home Wi-Fi network
• Device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or laptop) to connect the thermostat to the internet

Now that you have the necessary requirements, let's proceed to the setup process.

3. Step 1: Connecting the Thermostat to the Internet

To connect your Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat to the internet, follow these steps:

3.1 Wi-Fi Setup Mode

Start by ensuring that the thermostat is in Wi-Fi setup mode. On the top section of the thermostat screen, you should see "Wi-Fi Setup." This indicates that the thermostat is ready for the setup process.

3.2 Connecting to the New Thermostat Network

Next, connect your device (preferably a laptop) to the Wi-Fi network broadcasted by the thermostat:

1. Search for available Wi-Fi networks on your laptop.
2. Look for a network named "New Thermostat" and connect to it.
3. Wait for a moment for the laptop to connect to the thermostat.

4. Step 2: Accessing the Honeywell Website

Once connected to the thermostat network, proceed to access the Honeywell website using your web browser. The website will allow you to connect your thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network. There are two ways to access the website:

4.1 Automatic Redirect to the Website

After connecting to the thermostat network, your web browser should automatically redirect you to the Honeywell website. If this doesn't happen, refer to your user guide's page 10 for the IP address to manually enter into the address bar of your web browser.

4.2 Manually Entering the IP Address

If your web browser doesn't automatically redirect you, enter the IP address provided in the user guide's page 10 into the address bar of your web browser. This will direct you to the Honeywell website.

5. Step 3: Connecting to the Home Wi-Fi Network

Now that you are on the Honeywell website, follow these steps to connect your thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network:

5.1 Searching for Home Wi-Fi Network

On the web page, you will see a list of available Wi-Fi networks. Look for your home network and click on it to connect.

5.2 Entering the Password

Once you have selected your home Wi-Fi network, you will be prompted to enter the password for the network. Enter the password and proceed.

6. Step 4: Registering the Thermostat and Creating an Account

Now that your thermostat is connected to your home Wi-Fi network, you need to register it and create an account on the Honeywell website. Here's how:

6.1 Finding Mac ID and Mac CRC

To register the thermostat, you will need the Mac ID and Mac CRC. These numbers can be found on a card that came with the thermostat. If you can't find the card, you can locate the numbers at the back of the thermostat by detaching it from the wall-mounted subbase.

6.2 Registering the Thermostat

With the Mac ID and Mac CRC in hand, enter them into the registration form on the Honeywell website and submit.

6.3 Creating an Account on the Honeywell Website

After registering the thermostat, proceed to create an account on the Honeywell website. This account will allow you to access and control your thermostat remotely.

7. Step 5: Using the Honeywell Thermostat App

To have full control of your thermostat on the go, we recommend downloading and installing the Honeywell thermostat app on your smartphone or tablet. Here's how to get started:

7.1 Downloading and Installing the App

For iPhone users, navigate to the App Store, search for "Honeywell Thermostat," and download the app. If you have an Android device, go to Google Play, search for "Honeywell Thermostat," and install the app.

7.2 Logging into the App

Once the app is installed, log in using the account you created on the Honeywell website. This will sync your thermostat settings with the app.

8. Step 6: Controlling and Monitoring the Thermostat

Congratulations! You are now ready to control and monitor your thermostat from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. Here's how:

8.1 Adjusting Temperature Settings

Using the Honeywell thermostat app, adjust the temperature settings according to your preferences. You can switch between heating and cooling modes, set temperatures, and configure schedules.

8.2 Submitting Changes and Syncing with the Thermostat

After making any adjustments in the app, remember to hit the "Submit" button to sync the changes with your Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat. It may take a few seconds for the changes to reflect on the thermostat, so be patient.

Connecting your Honeywell thermostat to Wi-Fi offers several benefits:
