I purchased this a few months back as a replacement for an older programmable thermostat that had corroded battery terminals, but I just installed it in the last few days. The installation instructions were very clear and the installation went quite smoothly overall. The trickiest part was I needed a COM wire to run this new thermostat without batteries (although batteries are still needed for backup), but I was fortunate that the existing thermostat had some extra unused wires. I just needed to make the COM connection at the HVAC end to have a COM connection for the new thermostat, so it wasn't too difficult. This is a more modern design than the unit that it replaced, so I'm not surprised to find that it has more features to make it more flexible. The touch screen provides access to a good range of menu options, but it didn't seem hard to program, either. I'm very interested in the Automatic Changeover capability which can switch between heating and cooling modes automatically if needed to maintain program temperatures. I think that may be useful in cases when the weather is changing and the need for heating or cooling is not as clear so it's easy to miss changing modes manually. I haven't seen that feature work yet, though. I'm using it in a home workshop area, so appearance is not super important, but it does have a simple and clean appearance, and I consider it a bonus that it displays the relative humidity in addition to the temperature. There is no WiFi connectivity and I chose this model for that reason. If it continues to meet expectations, I plan to replace my other older thermostats with this model.

Basic programmable thermostat, perfect for applications with no Common Wire, or "C" wire. Cannot use use this unit as a Smart device, but perfect for easy daily or weekly, or no programming. Plug-and-Play - took just a few minutes to install, select type of heat source, set clock, program, etc. Great looking, large screen. Excellent humidity reading accuracy, exactly duplicates analog hygrometer. Perfect if you have no desire for a Smart T-stat or don't want to hassle with either running an additional wire, or installing a diode - which requires rewiring panel at furnace.

There are reviews saying that this thermostat cannot be connected to a millivolt fireplace - they are outright wrong, this thermostat can handle pretty much anything - whether new and sophisticated air conditioners/heat pumps or really old and simple heating schemes like in my case a 2-wire hot water heating valve and separately a gas fireplace. On the box Honeywell it generically stating that the thermostat is "Compatible with most systems", which I discovered to be true.I bought 2 of these units, and I'll save you some headache and/or $$ installing it, if you have the same requirements as in my case:- the first one replaced a 2 wire old mercury thermostat for the apartment's 24 volts central hot water heating valve. The wires are connected as: black to the thermostat's "Y" connector, and white to the thermostat's "R" connector.- the second one replaces a regular on/off switch for a millivolt gas fireplace, and now I no longer need to manually turn on/off the gas fireplace to regulate the temperature. For this installation, the wire connection scheme is black to the thermostat's "O/B" connector, and white to the thermostat's "R" connector.The thermostat has an intuitive interface and is easy to set/operate via a nice blue-light touch-screen. Because the thermostat has built-in intelligence, it was able to classify and select the type of unit I was connecting to. I also like the fact that it allows time in 12/24 hours format and temperature in F/C degrees. It also displays the room humidity, which I find to be a plus. The power comes from 3 AA batteries that you need to install, but it doesn't need much power to run - some people were saying that they last over 8 months, but I guess it all depends on how often you touch the screen to activate the blue-background light. Otherwise it displays the readings on a nice LCD display which you can adjust for contrast. Kudos to Honeywell for a well-designed unit, I absolutely recommend it, especially if you are like me and have to replace some antiquated thermostat with something more in line with the times.

Nice little device. Comes with mounting screws. Easy to install and program. Note that you have to hold down the menu button to get to the more detailed selection options. Also nice that you can toggle between F and C. That used to be a problem if you chose wrong. Display dims went not in use and one tap to brighten. System will increase/decrease temperature to meet you setting for the time you select. If you want 60 at 6am it will slowly increase/decrease to get to 60 at 6am. Nice feature to select from the program.

This is an extremely versatile thermostat. Super easy to install. An impressive number of programming features, and the touch screen makes it super easy to program. Very impressed! You can partially or fully lock out the screen. Runs on 3 AA batteries. Has a backlit screen that comes on with a touch of the screen and will go off on a time delay with battery only power. If you have a C wire or want to run a small 24 volt power supply (to power the C wire input), it will stay lit all the time at selectable light intensities. It also gives you room humidity, which is nice as perceived temperature is related to humidity.Although this thermostat has wire inputs for almost every imaginable input, it can also be wired with as few as two wires for an old school furnace like I have. Simply hook your red (or black) wire to the R input and your white wire to the W input. Works perfect. And although I have a simple furnace, this thermostat can still be programmed to anticipate the heat changes and cut in early - if you like. You can program the maximum cycles per hour. Lots of cool features.I appreciated the size, square shape, pleasant white backlight, and ease of installation. It does NOT have a color screen, or Wi-Fi capabilities, but I was looking for a "simple" one without Wi-Fi. It also does not do high voltage switching (120 Volt line voltage). Honeywell has other models, with those features - if desired - see their website.The only feature lacking which I did want is cumulative run time tracking (for the furnace or AC). I had that on one of my previous Honeywell thermostats and really liked this feature. It seems like the only thermostats which offer this any more only offer it if have a Wi-Fi thermostat and log into a website to get the info. Honeywell - please bring this feature back an option on regular thermostats!I have installed programmable thermostats in several houses, and have always liked and preferred the Honeywell brand. Consumers reports also liked this thermostat (Model RTH8560D) for functionality and ease of programming. I could not agree more. Highly recommended!!!
