User questions & answers

Question:	How to wire up voice thermostat with only 2 wires ,r and w
Answer:	In most cases, Nest thermostats can get enough power from your system’s heating and cooling wires. But in a small number of situations you may need to connect a common or C wire to deliver enough consistent power to your thermostat when your heating and cooling wires are not able to deliver the needed power for your Nest thermostat. Battery drain issues normally happen when the power from your heating and cooling system goes out. The 2 AAA alkaline batteries are used as a backup, or to supplement if your system can’t deliver enough power.
Question:	I don't have a 'C' wire... how difficult is to adapt the Ecobee using the included cable and how is it done
Answer:	No
Question:	If you have an echo (alexa) in the room already, is there a way to turn the alexa on the thermostat “off”? or turn off the microphone/listening
Answer:	I found an interactive video on my utility’s website (Commonwealth Edison) that ran through the wiring questions. It will tell you if your system is compatible with Nest thermostats.
Question:	Can the Mic and Alexa be turned off
Answer:	No. Sensors are not compatible.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product compatible with the Bosch Greenstar condensing boilers
Answer:	Yes there’s an auto function. You can set your desire temp and set it to either “heat, cool, auto” and if the thermostat is set to auto, it will adjust to the temp by cooling or heating. If it is set to either heat or cool, then the thermostat will just cut off once it reaches its temperature by heating or cooling. It won’t constantly adjust. Just heat when needing heat. And cool when needing cooling.
Question:	My home is very old. With water steam radiator. Would this be a problem
Answer:	It has dim bright and off. Very nice
Question:	Will it automatically switch switch between heat and cool to maintain desired temp
Answer:	The main unit,, thermostat, will shut off when the desired temperature reaches the set temperature at the sensor if the sensor is selected on the nest app.
Question:	How bright is the back lighting, and can it be dimmed or turned off? I'm using it in a bedroom
Answer:	Yes

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this require a c wire? why does it need aaa batteries
Answer:	No need to have a Honeywell gateway for the Honeywell rth6580wf. You only need a wireless Internet modem dsl/broadband service phone line.
Question:	Will this work with the nest remote temperature sensors
Answer:	I found this information on another website (http://programmablethermostat.info/honeywell-rth6580wf-wi-fi-7-day-programmable-thermostat/)Real Time Clock:This thermostat does NOT have an internal battery. All program and installer set up functions are saved on to a chip and retained in case of a power outage. It does utilize a super capacitor for short term retention of the clock. If there is a lengthy power outage and if the RTH6580WF is connected to the internet, when power is restored it will automatically resynchronize with the internet time.
Question:	I have 4 wires, 1st wire is w/ 2nd y/3rd is g/4th is rh will this thermostat work with these wires
Answer:	If you have no Internet, this thermostat will simply operate as a non-WiFi enabled programmable thermostat (e.g., follow the schedule that you previously created) OR you use the buttons on it to adjust it manually. The only thing you lose with not having the Internet is the ability to use your phone to interact with it (e.g., change the settings and/or update the schedule). Just pretend like it is 1970 and adjust the thermostat like your parents did.
Question:	Does this work with the nest temperature sensor
Answer:	I did the following in a two-wire heat-only setup and it worked: 1) On the back panel of the new thermostat, remove the small jumper between the RC and R connectors. 2) Connect the outputs of a 24V AC transformer (I happened to use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DJ7RHS5?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image) to the RC and C connectors on the new thermostat back panel. It does not matter which of these two wires goes to RC and which goes to C. 3) Connect the wire that had gone to either RC or R on the old thermostat to the R connector on the new thermostat back panel. Connect the wire that had gone to W on the old thermostat to the W connector on the new thermostat back panel. 4) Plug in the transformer to a nearby 120 V outlet. Snap the body of the new thermostat onto its back panel. Continue with the instructions provided with the new thermostat.

Chicken Thighs with Caramelized Onion andBacon Dressing from Calorie-Smart Meals

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat about 10 minutes or until browned and crispy, turning once. Drain bacon on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings in skillet. Add onions. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, 13 to 15 minutes or until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook and stir over medium-high heat 3 to 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from heat.

2. Chop the bacon. In a bowl stir together the bacon, caramelized onions, and the next five ingredients (through pepper). Divide dressing mixture among four individual 12- to 14-ounce casserole dishes.

3. In the same skillet cook the chicken in hot oil over medium heat about 5 minutes or until browned, turning once. Place one chicken thigh on dressing mixture in each casserole. Bake, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until done (165°F). Before serving, sprinkle with additional snipped fresh parsley.

Tip: To dry bread cubes, spread them in an even layer in a 15×10-inch baking pan. Bake in a 300°F oven 10 to 15 minutes or until cubes are dry, stirring twice; cool. (Cubes will continue to dry and crisp as they cool.) Or let bread cubes stand, loosely covered, at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours.

Simple Swap: You can use any multigrain bread for the ciabatta rolls.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you program just the fan mode
Answer:	Hi there, this unit REQUIRES an internet connection, based on a WiFi (wireless) connection. Once the device establishes an internet connection to the Honeywell cloud (which is cool!) you can effectively control the thermoostat from anywhere you have an internet connection.... even your smartphone. Enjoy!
Question:	Is it smart enough to decide whether to run the heater or cooler to keep the temperature fixed
Answer:	The WiFi setup requires you to create an account on mytotalconnectcomfort.com. It’s not that hard. The biggest problem with this thermostat is the unreliable remote connectivity ever since Honeywell spun off their thermostat division 6 months ago. Now it’s frequent periods of time where the thermostat will not respond to remote commands. It’s maddening
Question:	What if i have a C wire
Answer:	When you put it on circulate, the fan comes on for about 10 minutes every 20 minutes or so. The owners manual says it runs about 35% of the time. I used this feature this Fall with the system off (no heat or a/c) just to circulate the air through my Filtrete filters.
Question:	Can you create a fan schedule? I’d like the fan to always run from 10pm until 6am
Answer:	These thermostats are not the same. Even the screen is different. The RTH9580 doesn't have the 3D look of the 9300 series.
