Who wants 4 schedules? I want a thermostat, if it is hot, I want to press the down button to make it cooler now. If I am cold, I wan to press the up button to make it hotter. Why would you need anything other than that? I am so hot in this house right now, and it isn't even summer trying to figure this out.
I refer to this tutorial of yours at least every 6 months for 3 years now. Don’t know what I would do without it! The company that makes this should pay you!
@@TheAmateursAmateur I need help....I have the sleep time to 1 am because it doesn’t get cold until that time. But it’s running the wake schedule at 10 pm but I have it set up to 7 am...so why does the heater run at night on wake..?
I want to tell you amateur amateur that this woman really appreciate you helping me out and learning how to do this. My husband passed away last year and now I'm doing the things he used to do and you made this so simple for me to understand. Thank you for this video this grateful widow appreciates you.
Thank you I don't have a husband for now and the last two months have been hell for me I don't drive but my son does but I can't even get a ride from him but he can take others but to get him to do the thermostat is like asking for the winning numbers for the lotto he just gets mad and storms off but thank you for this video graetly appreciate it your my hero blessings to you
I’m old school and just wanted a thermostat that I could control, not something pre- programmed. My son installed this. I just told him we needed a new one and this is what he picked up.I don’t have the patience for this. That’s why I’m glad I found your video. My son, a 39 year old Mr. Know it All , as it turned out, didn’t have the patience either . You helped both of us. Thank you so much.
Hi there! I'm a soon-to-be 70 year old. I had no idea how to program my thermostat. You brought it down from "rocket science" to something that anyone can do. THANKS!
@@TheAmateursAmateurhey bud. I “reset” the thermostat so I can use it manually and after I canceled all the programmed times , it says (hold) next to the temperature. I noticed yours doesn’t say (hold) what did I do wrong?
I bought my home in August of 2023 and the thermostat/ AC /furnace worked well until last night.I thought my furnace was broken during the coldest day of the season- and during a holiday- until I found your video. I replaced the batteries- all my previous thermostats have been old school and by no means fancy. I was completely flustered by trying to just get it to heat the house to a constant 70°. Your video was SO helpful! Thank you for making it novice proof!
So clear, you made it easy, and no soundtrack, dogs, or nightclub routine. Honeywell and a few other companies should be paying you to “translate” their manuals. Big thanks
SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR VIDEO, SIR. My dad, who, like you, is a wizard with most things, was a little perplexed by this thermostat. I think the default to running on a schedule was the curveball. You've done the hard work so we don't have to, and you made programming the unit so easy! Thank you!!!! You're awesome!
awww man! The thermostat in the apartment I just moved to didn't have a model number or instructions, but luckily your video came up with a picture of the face of the unit. All clear, and I love the way you talk, it sounds like home. Thank you so much!
It was really easy to program the thermostat by his step by step instructions. A contractor programmed our thermostat to 85°, and we couldn't override it...until now😄 Thank you.
Yes i was about to break it. At first i was too agitated to understand your video, i had to calm down… & Im praising God for you at this very second.❤❤❤
I realize this video is 4 years, but it was SOOOOOOOO HELPFUL!!! Thank you for clearly explaining these different modes. I accidentally got a little too happy pressing buttons, and messed up a lot of stuff. Being able to cancel th schedules was exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
These instructions are great so I was puzzled when my heat still didn’t come on. I called Honeywell and spoke with Alex. He had me remove the cover. A white and red wire were coming from my wall which needed to be inserted in the W and R slot on the unit. My white wire was in the RC slot and it needed to go onto the W slot. Once I did that, the heater came right on. So I had two heroes who helped me keep my sanity. Thanks to you both.
As part of gen z my dumb ass couldn't even know how to set it up until this video popped up. Now I could help my parents to set it and stuff :) so thanks man
Just moved into a new apt and they had this thermostat. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to get it to run. Your video was such a huge help, Thank you!!!
my husband passed away and after almost a decade of living in this house I still had no idea how to program this thermostat. Can I just say THANK YOU for this video, it was super easy to follow! New subbie in da house woot woot!
This was one of the Absolute MOST helpful videos I've found on RU-vid in a longtime!!!!! 😁😁😁 If you're confused and reading this just watch it a few times. The meat for me was at 7:30! It shows how to use it just like the old-school set and that's it thermostat! May God bless this man right here!
I could cry right now. I'm renting a home with this thermostat and could not figure out how to keep the house at a consistent temperature. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge in a clear, concise manner ♥️
Thank you SO much! Now I won't have to stress day in and day out as to why the dang thing refuses to cooperate. For those like me who just want to override it altogether, the instructions start at 5:08. But I highly recommend watching the whole video, especially if there isn't someone at home all day. Great (SIMPLE!) scheduling instructions. NOTE: My thermostat looks exactly the same, but I had to repeat each of the steps above for a Saturday/Sunday schedule as well. So if you get to the end of the settings and you still aren't where Amateur is in his video, that's probably why.
Dude... seriously so thankful you made this video!! Your explanation of the process made understanding this so very easy! My issue was trying to read the small print instructions that came with the thermostat... ridiculous!! I'm over 40 and even with my readers on I struggled! Thank you so much!!!
My husband or I probably accidentally set it too low because as soon as midnight arrived the AC temp started going down. I mean, around 3 it was 67 or lower temp and that's not good for my hubby. He has had cold cuticuria which made his skin break out in itchy welts and can be an emergency. Thank God he hasn't had that since the thermostat went haywire but still he's been waking really cold. Not good. So your video was clear and in detail to explain what to do. Thank you! 😊 Just fixed it tonight. Hope I did it right. We'll see in the morning. God bless you Sir for helping so many ppl!😊🎉
As an "old school" girl who installed her own thermostat, and your neighbor in Westchester, NY, I really appreciate your thorough and easily understood instructions. Many thanks!!!
Omg, I was freezing just had a Honeywell thermostat installed could not make heater turn on froze all night, woke up and found your video, Amazing you were easy to follow and SUCCESS!!!! I HAVE HEAT!!! GREAT JOB!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
You my friend, are a thermostat god! Moved into a new home a few weeks ago, and literally could never get the temp above 74. Every time we wake up, it’s freezing, or it’s blowing cold. After setting it, we are now warm 😭😭 And to think that the havoc guy came out 3 times 😭😭😭
I was in tears of frustration..and from sweat running into them.... You're a real life saver appreciate it more than you know!!!! I can't thank you enough
Just moved into my new apartment and it has the same exact Thermostat. Watched this video and it was very helpful. You explain it good enough for myself being a dummy and being a literate...if I can understand this man and if I can set this thermostat anyone can....Thank you so much for the video because when I first moved it every few hours the thermostat would go straight to 64° cold and I would start freezing...lol...thanks to this video I'm all good to go.....again thanks for the video....👍👍
Thanks for the video. I was about to move out and leave the family because I couldn’t figure it out😂. It’s freezing 🥶 and can’t take it anymore😞. The only difference in your thermostat and mine is…after we set the time, it goes to wake, leave, return, then sleep. There was no setting for days. Hopefully it will run like I set it and it’ll be the same everyday. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!🙏🏾💐
I was having such a hard time and FREEZING because it’s new and had no idea how this thing worked. Thank you as soon as I followed your instructions I instantly started hearing the heat coming up.
I woke up this morning in the dead of Winter and it’s the Spring season here! Thank goodness for this video! He’s better explaining this than the company’s customer service. They should pay him for this lol!
I seen this video a few months ago and with much happiness I set mine right. Then when someone messed it up ugh I searched high and low, far and wide to find your video again. And thank goodness I found it. I went through dozens of videos before finding it and so glad I did
@TheAmateursAmateur HI there... quick question... Do I have to keep it on the heat side always after scheduling ? Thanks ... I just did it step by step with your explanations but I want to make sure about that heating button. Thank you😊
I highly recommend this video!! In Texas and summer in early June is already hitting the triple digits. I remembered this guy’s video had easy to follow instructions. Set temperature schedule for my 85 year old mother. Thanks again!
I use this video all the time! Thank you soo much! You really are great for making this and saving everyone here so much time and frustration! 10 stars for you!
Definitely what I need to show me how to work this thermostat. I especially love that you showed me how to override the system and simply turn it to my desired temp throughout the day… Thank you!
Really appreciate your time and willingness to share. We use these on my job, and I have been given the task of monitoring. Was totally in the dark. Your instructive video deserves an award.
I moved and bought this house five years ago. I never had a thermostat with pre-defined settings already programmed that you could change anyways, I found this video and I used it and I’ve been using it and everything‘s been going good and then something happened I had to change the batteries and I couldn’t remember, I came back to this video and it reminded me because I never really had to deal with it. I was so glad that this video was still here. Thank you very much very helpful. I’m on the east coast too. I’m freezing right now.
Now that it's getting colder, I'm sure this video will be getting a lot more views! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is greatly appreciated and answered our questions perfectly!
You are so dead on with this comment. This video gets so many views between October-January for heat, then June - August for A/C. I'm glad this video was helpful, and thank you for viewing!!!
Thankyou for the very helpfully video.I tried and cried when I read the manual.I am a senior widow not at all familier with programming anything technical.Im warmer now because of your step by step instructions.Thanks again.
Thank you so much! This was super handy after struggling with it for so long! I really appreciate that you showed us how to set it up without a schedule as well (5:10). I’m using mine with a gas fireplace and didn’t want it scheduled at all. I just wanted to turn on the fireplace whenever I wanted. So helpful.
@@TheAmateursAmateur Mine kicks on and off too much. Is there a way to have it kick on say 67 bring it to 70 instead of keeping it at 70? Please and thank you.
Owned one for years never a problem, batteries lasted for over a year, I do however forget how to set it, but now that I've downloaded your video that's solved, THANKS !
Thank you so much!!! This thermostat had me thinking my ac was broken 😅 your video helped me so much to just cancel out the Leave and sleep pre patterns. 🙏🏾
*THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS* ‼️ It's actually very easy to set up once you get into the rhythm of it-- it's just that the damn thing JUST DOESN'T WORK even though I've put brand new batteries in it! First of all, when I went to set the time as shown in the beginning of the video, it was stuck on AM and wouldn't turn to PM until I scrolled past 12:00AM about 8 times. I've learned from this video how to override the "Set" temperature, but the problem is that mine is stuck on 81° and when I put in the lower temporary temperature it goes right back to 81° or 82° as the "Hold" temperature. There's no way that all of these people just don't know what they're doing. The problem is with the appliance not the users.
VEEERRYYY HELPFUL JUST NOW! My husband installed it and REFUSED to read the manual thinking it's the same as the one we had, which was an older model. EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!!!!
This video was very very helpful. When I moved into this apartment complex even the maintenance man didn't know how to set this. So thank you I appreciate it !
so fucking true. I m like can I just simply turn my damn AC on ? I don't need no programs. That should be optional not the priority. I want to punch the guy who came up with this complicated design...
Man…I could give you a brotherly bear hug. I this was the simplest thermostat to buy. All that operating everything from your phone is too much. I just want a thermostat that works. Your video is a blessing.
Broooooooo! Was about to burn the house down before I found this. 38 videos later I was on my knees praying for the good lord to take me and then you came along 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you SO much!! We just bought our first home and had NO idea how to turn off the burning heat that was going on as early in the morning!! This was super helpful
you saved me from a complete and utter meltdown. trying to work this thing when it resets in the middle of summer is a NIGHTMARE. This video was so easy to follow.
Great tutorial. You explain everything in a fairly easy layman's terms. Even though I worked in the property management industry for many years I was drawing a complete blank on how to program my elderly parents thermostat. (I'm a brain injury survivor)They have had this controller for a few years now and it's been flawless. As for the trip A's the ones I just pulled out I put in 2 and a half years ago. Run nothing but Duracell. Great job and I'm now a subscriber. Keep up the great work 🍻
You saved my health, it's freezing cold outside and I couldn't figure out how to set my thermostat, didn't want to go another year using portable plug in heaters, thanks for this informative video!
You, sir, are the hero of the day! It is supposed to snow tomorrow and we thought the thermostat was broke. Turns out the husband , teenager, and I had just panic pushed a bunch of buttons after our power was out last week and messed up the programming. Thank you, thank you, thank you! No telling how much it would have cost if I had to get a repairman to come out, or worse yet my husband was gonna try and "fix" it. lol
Thank you for creating this video! I recently bought a house that came with this thermostat and I have been trying to figure this thing out until I can replace it with a new one. You have helped me immensely!! Blessings to you!
Bruh. Thank you so much. We’ve had nothing but problems with this damn Thermostat. This literally SAVED our house from our random 50 Degree nights in the middle of winter! Thank you!
Great Video! 👏🏿 You did a very good job with explaining the functionality of this Thermostat. Honeywell should hire you to promote all their Thermostats.
Bro , I love you . I live In florida . I come home from a. Long day at work and the gym after to my apartment I’ve been in 3 weeks . A/c off . Battery dead , fixed that and your video saved me bro .
Thank you for posting this. New apartment, never seen a thermostat as non-intuitive as this. You made a very informative and easily understandable video when you didn't have to and I appreciate it so much.
Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!! I was totally lost and had only the quick set guide not the advanced setting guide! This video helped keep me from ripping this thing off the wall and going to get a different thermostat!!
Omg, just what I need. I was about to find a way to have it replaced bc was driving me crazy. You are so thorough and clear in explaining so now I get it...thanks so much, sure helped me out!!
Thank you! The best explanation in 5 years since we got this. I read the manual but could not figure it out based on the written directions. I'm so happy you posted this and I found it.
You should be paid for this demonstration. I was about to pay my warranty company $100 because I couldn't figure out how to set the this thing to temporary hold position. Thanks!
Honestly a life saver! We had bought a plugged heater because we couldn’t figure out our thermostat but this tutorial & step by step helped me loads! Thank you!!
I have this exact thermostat and it is driving me insane!! Watching this video has almost brought my sanity back. I just need to watch it about 20 more times to fully understand lol thank you for this video
Thank you SO MUCH!! You have made my day. After changing the batteries I have been trying my best all day to remove the programming. Your instructions are fantastic! Thanks again!!
Hey, AA-excellent tutorial. Replaced my batteries and didn't know how to program this thermostat as the instructions were nowhere to be found. You made it easy. Thanks a bunch!
