Honeywell thermostat install
As part of the Honeywell thermostat installation, we first had to perform the Honeywell smart thermostat removal of the older unit that had a cracked display from falling off the wall. The Honeywell thermostat wiring was pretty simple since you just label the wires you remove off the older Honeywell thermostat, and wire them in the same spot when you install the new Honeywell thermostat
Honeywell wifi thermostat no c wire for rth9585wf
The Honeywell wifi setup is simple, but if your AC system is a 4-wire instead of a 5-wire have no C wire, then you're in trouble and have to do some wiring tricks because you need that 24 VAC on the C wire from the air conditioner to power your new Honeywell smart thermostat rth9585wf. Remember this Honeywell smart color thermostat is not battery-powered, it requires power directly from the air conditioner unit.
The menus on this are self-explanatory and easy to follow and navigate. Consider this thermostat installation video to also be your Honeywell WiFi thermostat instructions, in particular, the wiring instructions for this smart wifi thermostat. Hopefully, this how-to installation video makes your Honeywell thermostat wifi installation go smoothly.
rth9585wf1004
What to do if you get a Honeywell wifi thermostat without c wire
With any smart thermostat with no C Wire, you still have to give it 24 V to power the smart thermostat. In my Honeywell rth9585 installation, I stole the green "G" wire from the G terminal and used it as the C wire on the C terminal to power this smart thermostat with 24 VAC. This means however that I can't have the function where I just run the blower by itself with no AC or Heat, like the vent function in your car. No big deal, we only use our central air conditioning unit in AC mode or in Heat mode. So the blower comes on automatically when your Honeywell Smart Thermostat tells the AC or heat to turn on.

Okay I thinking on getting it, It got confusing on link to Amazon for thermostat, on description it said it uses AA batteries If you don't have C wire? I have a regular gas furnace ( no AC/ cooling system) nothing fancy So I can't use that thermostat that is required C wire hook up even on Amazon it takes AA battery? I want to get one that is password protected that nobody can turn on furnace and jack up the temp and I can shut off and turn on furnace while I'm at work or out of town.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the informative video, it was very helpful. I have a 4 zone system - three that can operate on their own, and the 4th is the main panel that controls the 4th zone but can also control the other three. Will this Honeywell system work in that set up? I do have the 5 wires required and had the Honeywell in another home and liked it. The plan is to replace the existing Honeywell's that are about 15 years old. Thanks! Jeff

@pyromethious 3 месяца назад

Any updates on this? We recently had our HVAC replaced with what I Believe is Heat pump after years of a dead unit and I'm looking into a more advanced controller. What I'd Like to have is one where I can have AC from say 8a-8p and then have it switch to heat from 8p-8a during the warmer months, but during the colder months, have it be just on heat. I was also considering finding one that can adjust based on the exterior temperature, but I'm still pondering how important that would be.

@jazzman9469 2 года назад

Thank you for the video! Question, recently my thermostat (slightly older model) starts turning the air on sooner than the scheduled time. And I know the weather outside is not hot enough to start the program. Example: I have it set to lower the air from 74 to 70 at 8pm. This is starting to lower the air at 6pm. (before it would start around 7:45pm). So I decided to do a factory restart, and still same results. Now another issue. It is registering 75 when I know for a fact that the room is 70 degrees because I have 2 portable thermometers that I am using to make sure this is right and they both say 70. I tried to reach out to Honeywell support, but no response yet, been 3 days. Any advice? The unit is only 5 years old.

@jeffostroff 2 года назад

Maybe your time zone is off on the thermostat? Check the setup menu, find out what city is the time zone that it thinks it is set to

@Itisfinished403 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. I was glad that u mentioned the need for a "c" wire but unfortunately when u installed the thermostat you did not talk about the adjustment that you said you made or even point it out to us at the most important time, installation. What if you only have a heating system etc do you need the c wire and or the adjustment?

@jeffostroff 3 года назад

With most smart thermostats you always need C-wire regardless of whether you have a heater or an air conditioner or what because the C wire is needed to help provide the 24 volts needed by the thermostat to operate and to turn on their own display for you to see what's going on to power up that display. Older thermostat models that operate off batteries won't need a C wire but I highly suggest against using battery operated thermostats they were a source of many arguments between me and my wife as to whether the battery needed to be changed or the air conditioner does not feel right because she thinks the battery has to be changed but in the end having a thermostat that runs off 24 volts is the best way to go.

@georgerobinson9194 4 года назад

@dienekes4364 Год назад

This is awesome. I just bought one of these at HD for $99 (on sale from $179). The thermostat in the house that I just bought was acting weird and this is an older house (built in '99) so I decided to just change it out. Come to find out, it was a battery-operated one. I suspect that the weirdness was because the batteries were low but not so low that it stopped working altogether. I pulled the old module off the wall (but not the backplate) and only saw 4 wires. Well, damn. Then I went to the furnace and saw that there was a 5th wire wrapped around the sheathing, not being used. BINGO! So I went back to the wall and could see that they took that blue wire and fed it back into the hole in the wall. I pulled it out, hooked it up to the C connection on the furnace and, as if by magic, the thermostat powered right up! And it was a sinch to connect to my wifi and my phone, so now I can adjust the schedule without standing in the hallway bending over. So much better for my back. And the old thermostat was only backlit when you did something to it. It's nice to have power going to it all the time so I never have to worry about batteries and I can read the thing without changing something. So far, I love it! Thanks so much for the video to give me enough knowledge to get this replaced without having to call an HVAC guy, although the furnace hasn't been serviced since 2001, so I'm going to have someone come out and do a good cleaning on it just to make sure everything is in good working order.

Thx for the video showing all detail steps to install the device. I just checked my old Honeywell thermostat and found one of the wire is connected to RC, with what I think is a jumper, a kind of U shape little metal hook, connecting the RC and R. Can I ask you how to change this set of wire into the new WiFi thermostat? Do I do the same like the old setting? Connect the wire to RC, with the U shape jumper hooking the RC and R? Thx very much 🙏🏻

@jeffostroff 2 года назад

For most common systems, the default configuration at the factory on the thermostat is to jumper the Rc to the Rh. This is because most systems have only one red wire coming out of the wall going to "R". So they both get jumpered together for single control. If you have 2 lines coming out of the wall that are red, chances are one goes to RC, the other goes to Rh, and you must remove the jumper. Which do you have?

@leochh 2 года назад

@@jeffostroff thx very much for your reply. I am using Honeywell RTH221B (battery needed), and I found only 4 wires coming out from wall (so, no wire for "C"). 3 wires going to "GYW", and one going to "RC", a jumper connecting "RC" and "R" together. Therefore I believe I need to figure out how to provide power to the thermostat if want the one you mentioned in the video...

@@leochh We had to do the same thing on this install. What I had to do was inside the air conditioning unit I found a 24 Volt signal that I was able to use for my C line and Wren dad to the sea line. But by doing that I lose the ability to ever run my air conditioner in fan only mode which is no big deal because I only use it in AC mode cooling mode, or in heat mode I never operated with just a fan only so that was no big loss for me.

I keep getting mixed info on using a wired outside temp sensor. They say it can be done, but no-one has told me which terminals to use for this thermostat. Either it cannot be done, or can someone tell me where to connect? There is no s1/s2, responders say "get an electritian or hvac guy" but I've wired home entertainment systems that are more complicated, taught CCNA (cisco certification part where you had to make and run your own Cat5 wires to routers and switches), so I am not sure how wiring this is too complicated for me. Is there a terminal for external outside sensors or not? If so which? Thank for your response and sorry for being too wordy. Great video.

the colors of the wires you see don't always mean anything, you need to see on the air handler the circuit diagram for the air handler that shows where each of these wires goes to, then see if it lines up with the proper terminal on the thermostat

Did you know that the Ecobee smart thermostats come with a pek module or a power extender kit module that you wire in at your furnace that converts your 4 wire interface to supply power at the thermostat? You don't give up your G wire. You can still independently control you fan without heat or cool being on. That is why I went with an Ecobee. Plus you get added voice control through Alexa or google home.

I doubt the C wire should have 24 volts on it. depending on what wiring the installers used hopefully the C wire is normally black in my case it was green because my older AC did not have AC wire connection on a four wire cable that they had so I had to do some tricking inside the air conditioner to give me a C wire out of the green wire. But if you open up the panel on the air conditioner where your wires all come in to it you should be able to double check which color wire is indeed going to the common or C terminal. They often have a wiring diagram on the inside of the panel or on the outside so you should be able to tell if those wires are indeed going to where you think they are. Also you should search on the Internet for “thermostat wiring diagram” so you can see what all the different colors are and where they're supposed to connect up and make sure you have the jumper going from R to Rc on the thermostat. remember just because you have a set of wires there doesn't mean that they are correctly following the normal convention. Lastly it could also be that you just have a bum unit, but not likely and so you should call Honeywell and talk to their tech support people about whether or not it is wired up correctly or if the unit is just bad . ‘

Hi Jeff, I try to install this one same as yours RTH9585Wi-Fi. I have only four wires White, Blue, Red and Green but the green wire you are connecting is C WIRE? It's supposed to go with G below Y? They told me to buy C adaptor to install. Please let me ASAP so that I don't need to buy Adapter. Thanks

@jeffostroff Год назад

I had to steal a wire from inside my air conditioning air handler unit to pretend to be the see water because I too had a four wire system not a five wire system. So I looked on the schematic for my air handler and found a spot where I could grab the 24 Volt AC C wire but by doing that I had to disconnect one of the four wires going to the thermostat which controls just running the fan only mode on the air handler. So I lose the ability to ever just turn on the fan only which I don't mind because I only use my system in AC mode or in heating mode and I never need just the fan only mode so it was a loss of functionality that I am able to live with.

Hi, great video..Trying to upgrade my heat pump thermostat, the old one has the wires 1-RH with jumper to RC, 2- G, 3- Y with jumper to W and 4- B...It has 4 wires but not C...Where in the new thermostat (Honeywell Home RTH 9585), goes the B wire? It's blue and goes into the B terminal of the old thermostat....Also, I will need to run a C wire from the unit, right? the cable carries several extra wires that are not plugged to the unit yet, so I can use one of them to get C....Thanks!.....

@jeffostroff 2 года назад

I don't use heat pumps so not sure how to connect it. For the c-wire on my older AC, I had to steal if from another circuit inside the AC controller board. I stole it from the "vent fan" circuit, which means now I can never operate the AC in "vent blowing" mode only, no big deal, I only use AC mode or heater mode.

@peluchingamarra3127 2 года назад

@@jeffostroff It's OK, have been reading a little more and already fixed it. Leaving here what I did just in case someone else find similar issue, thanks for sharing your channel full of great info. OK, B wire in my old thermostat (was a blue wire in B terminal) means reversing valve and goes into the new thermostat on O/B terminal, then later on programing choose (Heating Changeover Valve -B wire is connected to O/B).....Now, as for C terminal, since I had extra wires in the cable for the thermostat, I found that C means common and it's the black wire from the 24V side of the transformer placed on the unit control panel. That black wire was attached to the chasis of the unit, so it is some sort of ground, so, I attached the termostat extra wire to the chasis and I was done. Attached the oposite side of the wire to the C terminal on the new thermostat, turned On the breaker and voilà. All perfect!

@@djb8078 G wire doesn't go to the condenser, when I say "fan" I am referring to the blower motor inside the furnace as a "fan". I replaced my 4 wire bundle with a 5, but if I didn't care about being able to cycle the "blower motor" without heating or cooling; as in just the blower pushing unconditioned, and unheated air, when the outdoor temperature is mild and not too far below room temp. There is an option on the Honeywell Unit that allows for the fan to cycle 25% on and 75% off., : 2.5 minutes out of every 10 minutes of something like that. When you reappropriate the green wire as a "C" wire you will lose this ability. Your blower will only come on during heating and cooling cycles.

@Sudz28 2 года назад

Finally got mine installed; a couple of quick notes worth mentioning while I'm here. First, this thing is flimsy as heck. I broke not one but TWO of the plastic terminal housing just pushing the wires in, incredible. I was half tempted to simply send it back right then and there, but figured I'd push ahead and see if I could get it powered up and working despite not having confidence that the wires were securely snug but it appears to be up and working thus far. Second, it seems you MUST set the schedule and edit the schedule via the touch panel on the front of the device - I see no way to edit or change the schedule once you've logged in to your account on the web through that interface. *Edit - I had previously said you were required to toggle the device from heat to AC manually, but this is not true; you can set it to go between both as needed automatically, which is nice. For the price, as long as you can keep from breaking the terminal housing with the wires, it's actually a nice little thermostat.

I have a ranch home, (in Massachusetts), two zones, (2 separate tstats), for heat, 1 thermostat for AC. I replaced the two heat tstats with Lux 1500 about 15 years ago, left the old school Honeywell thermostat alone. The thermostats only have the 2 wires coming out, does this mean I can't install a new wifi type of thermostat? or does this mean bringing in an electrician. Any advice would be welcome

@jeffostroff 3 года назад

Well since you split up the heat from the AC you probably do have all of the wires needed at the AC unit, but they're just not all in one spot for you to hook up this Honeywell thermostat. So, your choices are you could bring in an electrician to run your 5- wire cable and make sure that it has the C wire on it as well connected at the AC handler. The other solution you might want to look at is the new wireless thermostat that I got which is the Lennox iComfort S30 and I bought this to replace the Honeywell that you see in this video, because we bought a new high end Lennox air conditioner and this is the preferred thermostat for that air conditioner. This awesome new S30 is bigger and nicer than the Honeywell. The AC installers explained to me this S30 does not need the 5-wires, only power and transmits everything wirelessly to the air conditioner; there is a Wi-Fi receiver that mounts on the wall outside the air conditioner. So, you may be able to use something like this on yours as well. I would investigate that and looked look into the instructions in the installation guide and the wiring info and see if that is something you might be able to use in your configuration as well

@richardjackson6708 3 года назад

@@jeffostroff When we purchased the home back in 1999, the thermostats were already installed that way.
