*Works as expected **Fastly.Cool*

[@zirotohiro6416]

I hate how you people keep saying "wash your nasty hands" my dad is a construction worker and his hands are always dirty and hard to wash so show the man some respect.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

i usally just superglue the camera to my forhead works great .good review

[@StephenRardon]

You sir are never dull in the comments!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

lol

[@angiemoore4589]

Literally I just want to be able to change my temperature MANUALLY A AS NEEDED. DONT WANT ANY SCHEDULES. House is set to 80!! Need to change it to cooler :...(

[@ceoWoomanEnterprises2023]

No heat is coming out of my furnace because the thermostat was accidently stuck in a funky mode that comes on at weird hour. I don't want to pay hundreds for new furnace motor that isn't broke or for expensive Honeywell tech to change mode. How can I work mode button to cancel scheduled on /off feature and make it just normal auto run heat not scheduled heating?

[@angiemoore4589]

All I want to do is clear all schedules and just pick a temperature which I can change any time I want!!! Please help!

[@rozperry7306]

Stephen what can i do if the inside temp is at 66 and i have the heat set at 73 and the heat doesn't come on?

[@StephenRardon]

+roz perry best thing would be to call an Hvac company to check it out. If it doesn’t blow at all then it may be simply a breaker that is tripped but most often it is internal to the unit and not something that an untrained person should dive into

[@luke49050]

Looks like the hat cam did it's job pretty well, good video

[@StephenRardon]

It's going to take some getting used to, but so much better than one-handing everything! Thanks for watching

[@over50txtech8]

Hey Steven, A nice easy to understand and follow video. The under bill cam worked great. This could be a nice addition to the training videos that you guys are posting on KZbin. Keep up the good work. Ray

[@StephenRardon]

Thank you sir, thanks for keeping my ego stroked! Haha, I'm working on more content. I wished I had been more focused earlier on regarding KZbin but I never expected that anyone would watch this sort of thing!

Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 thermostat walkthrough TH8321

[@tamd952]

My schedule and hold setting "buttons" are blank. I dont know how to fix that and the heaterwil only work on the "ON" setting. Any suggestions on fixing this ?

[@everythinghomerepair1747]

will this work with a two wire system?

[@StephenRardon]

Everything home repair yes and no. It could work for a heat only 24 volt system but it won't work as a communicating system control like the newer Honeywell iAQ

[@everythinghomerepair1747]

+Stephen Rardon (HVAC with Stephen Rardon) thanks!

[@RobHVAC]

Hey Steve, have you used the new 8000 with red link yet? It is great and so easy to setup.

[@StephenRardon]

Yep, I've played with that device as well. Certainly a simple, easy to follow plain English programming process.

[@angelinaslps9766]

What's your professional opinion of Robertshaw thermostats? And what about Honeywell issues of cycling so much? Any opinions.

[@StephenRardon]

sorry +angelina'sLPS i don't have an opinion of either subject, honeywell has always served us well and so i've not used Robertshaw devices except for maybe once. I don't recall the reason but i think it all worked fine.

[@mg6818]

Hi how can I delete all schedules ? Help it keeps blinking safe at the top?!!

[@StephenRardon]

Sorry, probably too late but you’ll need installers manual for that. Google is your friend

[@alisannsmookler139]

I have this thermostat and have programmed it as shown in your video. I have it set for WAKE 5AM and SLEEP 10PM. But every night it comes on at 3:30AM and not 5AM as programmed. I do not have a manual because I bought the house a few months ago and seller left no manual. How can I fix this issue? Thank you

[@StephenRardon]

There is a feature called “adaptive intelligence recovery” which allows the system to come on early to get the temperature to the desired set point at the time rather than start at the time you program. Easy fix would be change the time to 6:30 rather than 5:00 or disable the adaptive recovery feature. Don’t recall which setting that is off hand but if you go to forwardthinking.honeywell.com you should be able to dig up the full manual.

[@alisannsmookler139]

@@StephenRardon Thank you so much. I will do that. Happy holidays!

[@nodd85]

Thanks for the video, you answered a question that I couldn't find in any other reviews. Subscribed!

[@StephenRardon]

Thanks so much for Watching and subscribing!

[@chrispurvis25]

Success thanks again!

[@Eknott13]

What's "Aux heat" and why does it come on instead of "Heat On"? My heat is set to 80 degrees but it's only 67 degrees in my house. What am I doing wrong?

[@StephenRardon]

Ladi Leo sounds like you probably have a heat pump system. The "aux heat" means that the electric heat strips are supposed to be coming on to help the heat pump do it's work. if the system is not keeping up even using the aux (auxiliary) heat then it sounds like either the electric heat strips aren't working or the heat pump itself isn't working. are you able to select Em Heat or Emergency Heat on the thermostat? A fairly easy way to confirm if the heat strips (aux heat) is working is to select Em Heat and see if the air coming out of the registers is warm or not. if it's not warm, at all, then your heat strips are probably not working and you should call a professional to check the system out and make necessary repairs. as a consumer it will be difficult for your to 100% confirm if the heat pump is working. other than going outside to see if the unit outside is running i can't explain how to confirm if the heat pump is working properly. so, select em heat and see if the air is warm and if not call a professional. wish you the best of luck!

[@Eknott13]

Thank you very much for your response, I truly appreciate it!! So I turned on my EM and the house only warmed up 4 degrees in 2 hours; it's only 71 degrees and I still have it set to 80 degrees.

[@StephenRardon]

Ladi Leo I'd say it's time to call a pro! Hope there are good techs wherever you are.

[@Eknott13]

Figured as much!! Thanks for your help :-)

[@Eknott13]

Stephen Rardon Just wanted to update you and let you know that a professional came out and told me that it was my filter and it needed to be changed. Not in a million years would I have thought that something as easy and inexpensive as changing the filter would have caused me so much grief. I am now on a strict schedule to make sure that it's changed monthly. Thanks again for all of your help :)

[@thegreatmcgonical5947]

WILL YOU PLEASE .... ?????

[@StephenRardon]

Please what?

[@chrispurvis25]

Hi Steve i have the Honeywell 8000 vision pro thermostat but i am still unsure of the terminals i should be hooking the 2 wires up to. Is it the heat relay terminal "W" and "R"? thanks in advance

[@StephenRardon]

Chris Purvis No Problem Chris, the R terminal is the incoming power and the W is the heat relay. did you notice which wire was connected to what terminal on the old thermostat? Ultimately it doesn't REALLY matter as the system only has 2 wires and the R & W terminals will simply connect inside the thermostat when as call for heat is initiated. Make sense? i would suggest to probably remove the small jumper wire between RH and RC as that is only for a system that also has cooling connected to it.

[@chrispurvis25]

I'm running the thermostat on batteries.....does that matter with my setup? There are no letter designations on my old thermostat.... Its an old mercury WHiTE Rodgers thermostat

[@StephenRardon]

you'll HAVE to use batteries actually, otherwise it won't work at all. The joy of digital devices, they need power. so, if they didn't designate what was what you should be fine just hooking up either which way you want. it's just a contactor (basically) inside the t-stat which put the power in touch with the heat relay. shouldn't matter at all

[@chrispurvis25]

10/4 I appreciate the clarification! I'll pass along the good word of your help!

[@tooker22]

thanks for sharing.

[@StephenRardon]

well, thanks for watching! i'm working on other thermostats here soon, stay tuned!!

[@gonzo13fox]

My system and fan button is locked, so I cannot switch it from cool to heat. How do I unlock it?

[@StephenRardon]

files.acrobat.com/a/preview/3f07430f-2db5-494e-ade2-63be7e096c25 This pdf file ought to have your answer

[@gonzo13fox]

+Stephen Rardon (HVAC with Stephen Rardon) I appreciate the effort but nothing in here address my problem. Maybe "locked" is the wrong word, they simply will not respond at all. Other buttons work except for those.

[@StephenRardon]

[@chrispurvis25]

hi is it possible to install this thermostat with my existing 2 wire thermostat thanks

[@StephenRardon]

What type Of system Does the current thermostat control? This thermostat can be setup to control a wide array of systems but it will not Work with a communicating system. If you've got a heat only system it can be setup for that. And may be able to work if you've got cooling only. I think, off the cuff, that the only system that would be two wires would most likely be heat only.

[@chrispurvis25]

Its a 2 wire thermostat operating a natural gas furnace.

[@chrispurvis25]

Heat only..... I got thermostat for free and was hoping I could utilize it to swap out my 30 yr old thermostat! Thanks

[@StephenRardon]

Chris Purvis the thermostat will do that system! It's in the installer setup.

[@chrispurvis25]

Great thanks for your assistance!

[@nicholasrowan2768]

I always go with a wifi 8000

[@StephenRardon]

I like the wifi functions that are available with new thermostats. My personal favorite would have to be the Nest. Honeywell comes second, Lennox, Carrier (sucks) and Trane is last only because I've not played with many and have little to no opinion either way.

[@nicholasrowan2768]

Yeah I have the nest at my house I'm not the biggest fan of it only because you can not do dual fuel with the thermostat. I like the train XL950 only problem is that you need to pay for a subscription how do you feel about being able to buy wireless thermostat Sat and Depot for $117

[@StephenRardon]

Now there you're only correct with the first gen, maybe. I've set up a bunch of them on dual fuel but can't recall if they were only second gen devices. Dual fuel on the nest is AWESOME, don't need outdoor sensor wires, it takes the odt from the web like the Honeywell wifi ones.

[@StephenRardon]

Nicholas Rowan nest.com/thermostat/installation/#nest-thermostat-compatibility

[@nicholasrowan2768]

Stephen Rardon yes you are right about the first generation models that is what I have my house. I just installed one at a customers house yesterday and it definitely had a dual fuel option

[@skywinder1]

Wow dude....wash your hands....These things are a piece of shit. I wanted a straight forward thermostat that allows me to set the heat temperature or cool temperature and then turn it on to heat or cool. This thing is a nightmare maze of programming and hidden schedules and special secret codes. It's like having to solve a puzzle just to turn your light switch on. I can't get this damn circulating fan to stay off. It's costing me money just blowing all the time. No one seems to know how to shut it off. Piece of techno junk.

[@StephenRardon]

My hands are always at different levels of unclean.
