I have the RTH6580WF thermostat. It is functioning well. However, I'm wondering if there is a "swing control" available on this unit. I'm getting a lot of "short cycling" on my heating system. This keeps the house at an even temperature but I'm concerned about the wear and tear of the heating system due to frequent on/off cycling.

Hi, I have a geothermal heating/cooling unit with electric backup heat. The present thermostat is Aprilaire model 8538 with 8 terminals y2, w1, y1, g, r, 24v, 24vc, w2. Would I be able to replace the present thermostat with the RTH6580WF?

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Honeywell RTH6580WF below.

Where is the best location to place the thermostat?

The best place for the thermostat is the room where you spend the most time, in many cases the living room or kitchen. Place the thermostat about one and a half metres above the floor, not in the sun and not on an outside wall.

What is the dead band of a thermostat?

If your thermostat has a dead band, your installation is, as it were, 'at rest'. The thermostat only switches on when, for example, the difference deviates more than 2˚C from the set room temperature.

What is the ideal room temperature?

Most people find that the ideal room temperature is between 19 and 22 degrees Celsius.

Why is my Honeywell RTH6580WF thermostat not turning on?

Make sure the thermostat is securely mounted on the wall and properly connected to the power source. Check if the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the thermostat has tripped or blown and reset it if necessary.

How can I set the temperature schedule on my Honeywell RTH6580WF thermostat?

Press the "Menu" button on the thermostat, navigate to the "Program" option, and select it. From there, you can set different temperature settings for various times of the day to create a schedule that suits your needs.

My Honeywell RTH6580WF thermostat is displaying an incorrect indoor temperature. How can I fix this?

Ensure that the thermostat's temperature sensor is not obstructed or affected by external heat sources such as direct sunlight, electronics, or air vents. If needed, you can recalibrate the thermostat by following the instructions in the manual.

Can I control my Honeywell RTH6580WF thermostat remotely?

Yes, you can. Download and install the Honeywell Home app on your smartphone, create an account, and connect your thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network. This will allow you to access and control the thermostat from anywhere using your phone or tablet.

How can I troubleshoot if my Honeywell RTH6580WF thermostat is not connecting to Wi-Fi?

Check if your Wi-Fi network is functioning properly and ensure that the thermostat is within a reasonable range of the Wi-Fi router. Verify that you are entering the correct Wi-Fi credentials during the thermostat's setup process. If the issue persists, try restarting your router and then reconnecting the thermostat to Wi-Fi.
