What is, Temporary Hold? Our unit is stuck on it.
Get the point ! How do you turn the ac on?
Installer initially setup the lowest temperature to be 68 degree as default, is it possible to adjust to be 60 degree?
I just bought a house the thermostat was already installed same ☝️ one. But Im trying to sync to the app so I can manage it in my mobile. I have honewellhome app but it doesn’t work. What can I do?😊
Hi, if I want to turn off heating and cooling mode both in spring season, can I just on fan for air circulation. Plz explain in detail what to do. Thanks
The schedule on this thermostat sucks super confusing.. im a truck driver and hardly home i dont want my ac or heat coming on when im gone i just want too have it come on a few hours before i get home from work too save on energy.. there is a ventilation mode on some of these and a boost feature where it will blow air harder and faster and cool the room and house down way faster a lot of people dont know about this feature i figured it out but its only available on my main floor.. my basement thermostat same one and brand doesn't have that feature idk why but i definitely need the boost mode on the basement level it would help cool it faster it get humid down there in the summer..
I just installed the t6 2 day. Ithaca actual install was straight up. However, I spent over an hour trying to find the battery back up compartment. Tge Honeywell video even stated that batteries were not required but suggested. After exhausted search of videos this model has an internal battery that gets recharged by the power from the c wire. Also, the app to download is now resideo. Works great now. Just a heads up.
I have the t1 the tech just installed but AC wont shut off what can it be ??
Hello I see you vídeo now but I have question in my screen not show the wifi selection if beacose not have or another way to connect, they show z-wave setup it they not connected
Hold down the menu button for five seconds and scroll through device settings and turn the auto change mode on, and you can set your heat temp and cool temps for automatic
Most helpful comment ever!!
This thermostat has a setting for heat and cool as one mode.
That’s in your ISU under “system changeover” yours is likely set to “manual” and for that feature you’ll need to enable it to “automatic” after that you’ll have a 4th setting named Auto that does both Heat and cool.
The auto mode you wanted can be enabled as an option in the advanced menu. A piece of tape would solve your camera red light issue.
I'm confused because after you enable auto mode, you can setup up a schedule with this thermostat that will switch between cool and heat.
Just got to the point geez
I got the same thermostat and it's missing the heat mode ,is there a way to activate it?
When mine was first installed i saw hold...now i cant get it to show up at all?
How do you open the f ing thing to replace the battery?
How do you put it on hold ?
What will happen if i set the mode to "off" and set fan to "auto"? Which app i need to download on my iphone?
I follow all the steps ans still appear 63° and it is really cold. How do I have to increase the temperature? Thank you.
I just have this unit installed in my home yesterday and the app is showing no data in the runtime. Can you tell me why and what I need to do to get it to show? I had no luck with their support center.
Did the heat or cooling system need to run? If not, there'd be no actual runtime. I just installed mine Monday, it hasn't ran, so no data.
Thanks for your video. It helped me understand it. I pushed the wrong button so, temp hold till 6pm is on. How can I get rid of it?
Seriously? Go back into the menu and reconfigure.
Hello, what is mode off option means??
When this thermostat is connected to the WiFi it’s linked to accurate weather so why not have a mode automatic for heat and AC especially when Arctic blast weather come into play so can adjust to protect home pipes.
There might be a custom schedule option to make that happen, it won't happen in manual mode (only set to heat or to cool) You colud inquire with Honeywell on if so, what to set so it will, if it is possible.
@@johnf5122 Thanks.
I don’t have a wifi section on mines and even when I press on it for 5secs no response I do have a WiFi symbol with a x on it on the corner
My keeps saying 58% humidity and it is 78 in the apt but set at 71 and it is not cool in the apt.
Where do I find the model number?
Mine keeps sending “system offline” messages. So I went on the Honeywell support website & used the chat option; the rep kept saying the model number is on the back of the faceplate. Except it ISN’T!
Do you have the optional wide faceplate? The T6 itself is only 4" wide if there's no optional faceplate. The model might be on the red circuit board in the center of the rear of the display (the back of the 4" part, where the wall wired block snaps into. It might show the model under a menu option as well.
Does it work with batteries
Camera red light on anything reflective *(or when using a flash in photos) can be avoided by angling the view, so offset the camera to the right/left/top/ bottom, any position that works best.
Wish you would explain what all the symbols mean such as what is the symbol upper right corner??
Can you do a video on how u setup the mobile app to the thermostat pls? I'm in the same boat as @D Hansel for the life of me I can't get this to setup to my mobile app... thank you in advance
You and about a million others
Hi. I need the same wall plate as you have in your video. Where did you get yours?
It comes with the thermostat
Hey Luke. All I wanted was how to set the AC ON. And you never showed how
Can you show me how to change the battery? I’m getting a low battery alert and can’t find how to get it off the wall
Did you ever get an answer 😭
Thanks sir to show us the right path
Does that back cover plate come with the thermostat? Or is it built on it? If it's not built in..where do you find it at?
Mine came with it. I would look at the description of for the one you buy.
You find it in the description of the T6 product you want to purchase.
Shows in the manual as an optional part.
Where and which Honeywell app do you use?? This is si why I searched for this in the first place
Good luck on setting this thing up. My first T6 Pro wouldn't connect to my network. I was able to call and talk to a man at Honeywell. Stepped me through the process OK. After several years this thermostat went out so I purchased another T6. The instructions told me to put my phone in airplane mode and go and log into the thermostat. I was in airplane mode which meant I could not get WIFI or blue tooth. I called Honeywell support line and the wait was 2 1/2 hours. I had my HVAC company come out and try to set it up. They did not have any luck getting this thing to work either.
Right now I am using it manually. Buyer beware of getting this thing to work.
On Android, you set Airplane Mode, but then enable Wi-Fi and then connect to the thermostat Wi-Fi. I did this today. Not sure on iphone, but you're basically dropping any Wi-Fi you're connected to so you can connect to the T6, shouldn't really need to set to Flight/Airplane mode to do this.
You could try pressing Menu, arrow right twice, Select on WIFI, Select again on SETUP WIFI. Mine is already setup, so I'm not sure of the options you see after to manually configure it. I'm a Network and technical engineer, I've worked with Honeywell support before. I might be able to assist if you on this.
Others noted ZWAVE WIFI, etc. You need to have 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi for this device.
Do you need a wire C to connect instead of the batteries?
Various T6 models, mine doesn't have batteries, no place for them. It needs the C for powering it, yes. If your T6 model uses batteries, then a C wire might not be required. On some thermostats types, batteries are only to retain the setup and schedules though.
I am so confused with this what should the fan be set at so it won’t run all day, also that it will cut off when it reaches the desired temperature?
I would talk to the company who installed them for you for more help.
Set the fan to “auto”.
@@KI-xf3vq thanks
What app did you use to download? There's tons of them and not sure...
Its now called Resideo app.
Our builder installed a Honeywell T6 Pro non-wifi, we tried to replace it with a regular nest and the fan speed of the blower was significantly reduced for some reason. So we put the T6 back up and the fan speed returned to normal. My question is, will this T6 wifi work exactly the same without reducing the blower fan speed like the nest did? We have a Lennox system with a honeywell z311 two zones.
I would talk to an HVAC pro about that. I don't know what system you have and I'm not an expert on it.
That can't really happen with proper wiring, these are low voltage thermostats, they control higher current relays and such to power the fan and other. Some thermostats have options, such as this model to set the number of cycles/hour. Also some systems have single-stage, some two-stage (a lower and higher speed) sounds like it was possibly miswired or not compatible with the Nest.
That's most likely a wiring issue.. Make sure green wire is connected to the G terminal on the thermostat.. The green wire being energized is what tell fan to ramp up when AC/heat is running or when fan option is set to On.. That's the first thing to check..
My havac guy just recommended Honeywell WiFi . We just installed nest 2 weeks ago and our control board broke maybe a coincidence maybe not but the furnace definitely ran differently after nest was installed
My AC tech said if I didn't set it properly the heat and cool would run simultaneously. Any ideas? It's a "1 heat 2 thermostat dual fuel unit" pointers anyone?
How do you unlock the thermostat
I am locked out my husband messed with the thermostat and I don't know the pin?
Newbie To This, What's The Right App? To Download From My IPhone
Is this hard wired or batteries? My screen is off and I don’t see a power button
Kind of wish you would show how to unlock it if it's if you're new to it and you don't accidentally lock it and it asked to put the code in if someone don't know how to unlock it because it's wasn't there they just moved into the house you know it'd be nice if you could show someone how to reset the unlock
Do you have a video showing how to override the temperature range?
That can only be done in the app from my understanding.
It is done in the device set up. You have to press menu for five seconds and then you have access to the temp stops, autochangeover, schedule options, etc. Be careful.
I just verified this, hold Menu 5 seconds, press Select when Device Setup is displayed, press right arrow 15 times (until it displays 430 at the top MIN COOL TEMPERATURE, press Edit, press - until your desired minimum is reached, press Done, press right arrow until FINISH SETUP is displayed, press Select (SAVING is displyed) press Back. Test setting the tempertature lower in Cool mode. You can change Maximum as well, etc. Careful not to change others settings under that Advanced Menu when doing this change!
If you do make any other change, note what the current setting was first, and also the setting number at the top (such as 430) that way you can set it back later if the changes don't do what you want.
I have followed the resideo app to use on my I phone and all I get is the local weather info how do I see the thermostat settings. I can't get past this point?? note: wifi has been setup location and password are working I can log off and on just can't get passed local weather info. I can also manually change ops and thermostat works great: just can't get passed local weather message??? any assistance appreciated.
Sorry I have never seen that issue. I would contact the HVAC company.that installed it.
I set mine up today, there's various settings it asks you to select, I did the basic, then I could use it from the App and set it up. There might be other videos on how to set it up. A technical friend probably could or any HVAC worker might be helpful.
I’m having the same issue, my HVAC company just came out an install this thermostat the t6 pro, he told me to download the app, did that and after installing the only thing showing on the app is the weather, it has no programming.
My app. Only sets vacation, I don’t see schedule on it? Any idea?
You need to create your own schedule.
I have same model pro series but I can't see wifi option in my thermostat. Can I connect to wifi through Z-WAVE SETUP? I tried tht too but it shows failed to include. How I can connect my thermostat to wifi?
I would contact the company who installed it for help.
You have to turn on wi-fi in the device settings. Look on the back of your thermostat. If it has a WF in the model number, it is for wi fi. If it has a WZ, it is a Z wave compatible. Thermostat model is in the equipment info section.
@@AngusMahm how do you set up with Z wave
The time is set incorrectly and I cannot find a place to change the time. I only see a choice for DST (Daylight Savings Time) and 12 - 24 setting under the Clock in Menu. The clock is 3 hours off.
I have the same issue did you fix it?
Make sure your entered your actual address info. I did this, then I turned location off under App permissions as I don't use geofencing. Mine shows the correct time.
Require C wire ?
My Honeywell th6320zw2003 ProSeries don't appear WiFi in menu how can I get wifi
How do you remove from
The wall?
Which app???? The manual say download either the Honeywell Home app or Resideo Pro app -
Honeywell Home does not show up in the app store and Resideo Pro does not work. The company that installed this says to use “Total Connect Comfort”. none of these apps have any QA as they are beyond buggy but not even compatible and it even states so.
Why is there no “Honeywell Home” like the T6 Pro Smart says there is? (Apple App store does not have it)
They just renamed it to the Resident app last week.
Honeywell Home is now the Resideo App. I set mine up today, configuring it with that App.
I keep hearing my fan come on. But it’s off. How do I stop that?
Your in re-circulate mode…From the main screen touch fan until it cycles to auto then it will only run when cooling or heating is on
Where is permanent hold on there ?
My menu screen doesn't show some of these options. . . . . like schedule and WIFI. We control the schedule with the app but I want to be able to use the screen too since I'm always home anyway.
Press Menu, then left or right arrow, one option shows Wi-Fi
My daughter didn't know how to turn the heat down.
Now it has a cool down time and l don't know how to keep my temperature idle.
I have this same thermostat, why does mine not have the “wifi” menu? Is there something i did that removed the wifi setting?
I would talk to the company who installed it for you for more help. To make sure you have the right settings.
There's some contractor setup, you get there by pressing something many times in a row, someone might've used it before and disabled Wi-Fi if possible, but perhaps a PIN is set, not allowing you (as a user) to see Wi-Fi. I'd try to factory reset it.
The Honeywell T6 is made with Wi-Fi and one made without Wi-Fi. You may have purchased the one without Wi-Fi
How can I reset the pin?
My Honeywell is locked and I can't unlock it to get heater to cone on. What can I do.
Try pressing Menu, then arrow left or right to Reset or Recovery, try either and press Done.
Look for a factory reset in a small deep hole on the rear, I thought mine had that. Didn't use it. Or search online factory reset Honeywell T6
What app is it
Is this unit powered by batteries? Thanks!🙏
Thanks for sharing. I wanted to see a demo of a Honeywell thermostat, and now that I've seen one, I'm not very impressed. The graphics on the unit and the app look like they're from the 80s, really unimpressive. They could have done a better job than that. Do like the circulate function, but as you said, the lack of a heat/cool setting is a disadvantage. Surprising Honeywell didn't include that.
It sucks. Get a Nest instead.
@@ericaw Have had one for years.
Is it better to leave it on heat or cool? I’m confused by that.
If u want it cold then cool if u want it hot then heat, its common sense🤦♂️
Same I don't want it running all the time like it's been doing
It depends where you live and what season. You can manually set back and fouth heat or cool and set the temp, but you can maybe set a schedule that cools during the hottest part or the day, but also heats *(if really needed) at night. Try that out. Also, if you have the App, you can set to heat, cool and any temp even if you're away from your home anytime.
@@youngrios sounds as your fan is in On mode
I just purchased a new house and it came with this thermostat, but i am not able to connect it to my account . It says the thermostat is registered with another account. Can factory reset fix that issue ?
Contact the old owner to remove it or contact the thermostat company for help.
No
Contact Honeywell support, they should be able to remove it from the account, or they might send you a replacement.
Press Menu then left/right arrow to either Reset or Recovery, try either, press Done. It probably won,'t and you need Honeywell support to release it from the other account, but you can try.
How do you change the batteries?
You can pull the screen case out. The batteries will be there.
There's more than one type of T6, mine, I remove the display box, there are no battery areas, other T6's, there are. My manual shows nothing about batteries required either. It works from the heating or cooling system power.
How do I turn it completely off
I tried to program mine to stay off from3pm to 6pm but it wont stay off
How to replace the batteries
For the FAN mode, how do i turn it OFF ?
All I see Auto, On and Cir
Auto mode will only run when the heat or air conditioning is on.
@@TheBreakdownWithLuke thank you for the response - but i have both Heat and A/C "off" and the fan still runs intermittently in Auto mode
@@wchomes106 you possibly have a fresh air damper in your home. It will override the thermostat and run the blower to bring fresh air into the home.
@@AngusMahm wow, i guess that is a nice feature...so i assume there is no way to turn it off, correct? (thank you for the earlier reply)
How do you take the lock off of you don’t know the password my kids lock me out
How do you know if its on cool or heat?
When heat or cool is functioning, it displays Heat or Cool to the left of the temp, somewhere there. If you want to change which one, click on Mode and select what you want.
does this thermostat have batteries
How do I adjust humidity with this thermostat?
You need to talk to the company who installed it to find out if your system is capable of doing that.
There is more than one type of Honewell T6, depends on the type you have and your system. Search online with the thermostats actual model number.
How do I change from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Press Menu on the thermostat, then keep pressing left or right arrow, when you see Temp-Scale stop, press on Temp-Scale, then left or right arrow to change, press Done.
Looking for a thermostat that I can set a timer on fan...
Eco bee will run your thermostat for 5 minutes per hour and up to 55 minutes
I haven't tried this, but you might be able to set fan only in a schedule with this one.
Si el ac está apagado y el abanico sigue funcionando no tiene opción de apagar. Siento frío lo quiero apagar totalmente los dos ac y abanicó. Gracias
I would call a HVAC company for help.
This is the Fan setting, you need to set it it Auto. When in Auto, fan only runs when AC is being used. If that is set to Auto, you have a wiring problem.
Mine says cool but there is no air any help would be appreciated
I would contact an HVAC company.
Circulate runs the thermostat 35% percent of each hour at minimum... roughly 20 minutes.
Thanks, mines runs still on off mode
We had this thermostat installed last night. I need to know exactly how to cancel "Hold Until" off. And operate it manually. I had to keep getting up during the night to override the temperature setting to keep it from dropping below 70 degrees. The HVAC tech who installed it told us the only two things we needed to know was how to operate the mode and temperature settings.In that case, we did not need such a sophisticated (And expensive!) thermostat such as this, but our heat pump had stopped working due to failure of our old thermostat and it was the only one he had on his truck on a Sunday night. It was either get this or do without heat for another night. Ugh!
Never mind. I figured it out on my own. I am a little squeamish when it comes to interacting with hi-tech stuff, But at least I will be able to sleep tonight and not have to worry about it cutting off! Thanks for the video. Between the owner's manual and this video, I got it done.
I had one installed for the same reasons and am having the same issues. Keeps dropping down to below 60 in my home don’t know wtf is going on
Check and make sure your thermostat is not scheduled to shut off. If it is, you will see "Hold until" at the top of the LED screen. Go to menu and scroll to "schedule" and select "off". That's what I did and have had no more problems. You should be able to operate your thermostat manually after that.
Need info on unlocking with forgotten pin
@@pamalford8319 does your thermostat have the humidity setting? Mine does and it keeps going up above 60 and I’m getting concern because I’m hearing that humidity level in your home above 60 is when one should be concern any advice ?
Somehow my heat doesn't come on while on and only come on here and there during the auto cycle.
I would contact a HVAC company for help with that.
There's a pro youtube video on the T6 and other thermostats T1-T10 I think. It is very good, but goes into serious detail about wiring, etc. It sounds like a possible wiring problem or maybe scheduling. I could share the other link, after I find it.
I don’t know if it’s the thermostat or my actual electrical connection that sucks
Why, what problem are you experiencing?
Just trying to figure out how to have it be 72 all the time. The video didn't help
Turn off your schedule and just set it to 72.
How do you take off to find code to get pin
Try pressing Menu, then arrow left or right to Reset or Recovery, try either and press Done.

I just purchased a house that has the proseries T6 wifi thermostat. I don't use the wifi. My problem is when on A/C I can't lower the temp setting lower than 67 degrees. However my twins have lung issues and need the house cooler then 67. How do I adjust the minimum temp on cool below 67 degrees?
I would contact a HVAC company for help.
I own the ProSeries T6, however, there's mulitple type of T6's, different models for various systems. Mine doesn't use batteries, some of them do. Mine- I just adjusted it in cool mode from 90F down to 50F *(I did this using the App, but also on the T6 itself)
Sounds very strange. I check heat mode, also goes down to 50F. What is the specific Honeywell model number of the one you have? Its a long number, not T6. I'm a technical engineer with over 40 years experience, you might need to factory reset it, perhaps has a problem with that unit, as there are some Advanced Menus for contractor configuration, so is it possible an installer configured this for you at installation and set min and max thresholds? (I did this at my work Data Center on another Honeywell thermostat so employees would stop changing it!)
Someone answered that you hold Menu 5 seconds for the Advanced Menu, try that to change current setting for min and max.
I also just verified this, hold Menu 5 seconds, press Select when Device Setup is displayed, press right arrow 15 times (until it displays 430 at the top MIN COOL TEMPERATURE, press Edit, press - until your desired minimum is reached, press Done, press right arrow until FINISH SETUP is displayed, press Select (SAVING is displyed) press Back. Test setting the tempertature lower in Cool mode. Careful not to change others settings under that Advanced Menu when doing this change!
Help I put a password on the thermostat but I don't remember it, what can I do?
Try pressing Menu, then arrow left or right to Reset or Recovery, try either and press Done.

This t-stat is way more technical and feature heavy than you elude to here. My suggestion is try doing your video again... sorry, just trying to troubleshoot mine right now and you make it way to devoid of real information.
Can you turn the fan off?
Yes, click on Fan
Mine just turned off overnight. Do you know how to turn it back on.
Typically means there is an issue with your system. Call somebody for a service call.
@@TheBreakdownWithLuke okay. Thank you.
Are you sure it was off, not in the sleep/darker mode? My T6 doesn't have batteries as some do, so if the red furnace switch is turned off, it will power off the thermostat too.
@@johnf5122 yes it was off. My water pan was full and wasn’t draining properly. I had to drain it manually until maintenance repaired the drainage issue. It’s been fine ever since.
I dont have heat on mine, whys that
I would contact the HVAC company who installed it.
Very important note: NOT ALL T6 Pro Wifi thermostats utilize the same security communication protocol. You must match the right T6 thermostat to your Wifi Network/software you are gonna be using. Example, the T6 "Z-Wave" security communication protocol must run on a Z-Wave capable network and be 2.5GHz; Ring Security Devices running eero routers work with Z-Wave protocol (To access Z-Wave wifi/setup press and hold menu on the T6).
RESIDIO is the Honeywell app and it DOES NOT connect to Z-Wave protocol (It uses "LYRIC" (or something like that) or other wifi security communication protocol; LYRIC protocol T6 t-stats, Residio app tells you to Press and hold the room temperature number in the middle of the T-stat screen to access LYRIC WIFI setup). This explains why a lot of people CANT CONNECT the app to the thermostat...Google home does connect to my Z-Wave T6 pro thermostat but not to RESIDIO app. Also ADT security does connect to Z-Wave devices.
To find out which protocol thermostat you have, lift the T6 from it's base on the wall and look on its back for the com's protocol it is capable. I believe the model numbers also differ somehow amongst T6 pro WIFI T-stats according to the protocol they use. My T6 pro is Z-Wave, has 3xAA batteries on it's back and it says Z-Wave next to the QR code/wifi logo on its back. It does not connect to the RESIDIO app on appstore as of today... Google home does connect to my Z-Wave T6 pro wifi t-stat in my network(But it's limited in wifi functions...). Good luck to every one, cause I am still trying to figure this crap out.
There's several versions of the T6 for various system types, mine doesn't use batteries.
Please let us know if you figure it out, about to trash this thermostat
@@savemyass Resideo rather, is the App and company name not Residio
Thank you very much unfortunately can't connect mine to Resideo nor ring app
@@savemyass were you able to connect the Z-wave version
One thing that really annoys me about this thermostat is that if I come home and it is set at 72 and then I lower it to 69 and it runs for a few minutes and I decide it is almost cool enough to I want to raise the set point from 69 to 70, it cuts the AC off and goes through a 5 minute cool down. That is so ridiculous. If the temperature is 72 and I only raise the set point to 70 why should it cut off? It should not cut off unless I raise it to 72 if the temperature is 72. Just saying sometimes I adjust it when I am downstairs and I might not want it to cut off but I want to raise the set point but I don't raise it to the current temperature so it should not cut off!
How do I find PIN #
Contact ADT for help.
What is WAC setting?
it's heating.
What is the name of the app?
Residio
how do I unlock my thermast
A PIN# was likely set for some or all features, parental control. I own this. I think there might be a factory reset in a small deep hole on the rear. I didn't try it, not labeled as that. Search Honeywell T6 factory reset online.
