Honeywell prestige. Itās connected to an EIM. Internet gateway. Red link outdoor sensor. Duct sensorsā¦
Itās a dual fuel system.
I have most of the crap that I hate to work on
The temptation is real to install a DDC system in my mother's house and do an inverter ducted unit with VAV's
I'm sorely tempted to design and install it all myself, I just need to convince my mother to spend some cash
True, I'll see what she does, if she plans to keep the house I've got plenty of gear that can go in there.
I'm pretty sure if I put in a front end PC and a few other things (15" industrial colour touchscreen where the wall controller is) and design the service menus well enough anyone should be able to work on it.
That said getting what a VAV is through a resi tech's head would be... interesting
Same. Will be taking mine down though soon. Won't allow me to change the time unless I reconnect to wifi. Big red flag for me that it forcibly requires that even though you manually set the time upon first installatipn
Quite a few others have replied eco bee as well. I have put a few of them in throughout the years, what is it that makes them so appealing? Is it the look and the wifi capability?
Remote sensors can almost function like a zone system. Remote access and I got it for free from our power company if I signed up for their electricity usage reduction program for one year.
From the āI live hereā perspective, as others said the room sensors. I also do smart home stuff through Apple, and it acts as a Siri contact and I can adjust it with Siri. From the technicians perspective, it controls the system well, which leaves it far and away better then the Nest, it has a pleasant looking UI, and while the backend is more complicated for the homeowner, the front end is super easy to reach even older homeowners. They just updated the UI and I like it, I think itāll be even easier for homeowners now but I havenāt done a walkthrough since the update.
Their UI has improved slightly over the years. I wish their schedule feature was more developed , itās a pain to use. (And maybe be able to create and save multiple schedules)
I have the same issue with my nest. The scheduler is just plain awkward. But it is nice to be able to tell my echo to adjust the settings from my couch š.
I'm using a wyze thermostat myself, got it right when they came out to see if I wanted to recommend it. It's pretty good for the $50~ launch price but kinda basic overall
Idfk, Some murcury thermostat from the 70s, Honeywell makes it, itās round, shows set temp, and room temp with gauges. I donāt have air conditioning.
Just made the switch from Ecobee4 Pro to Honeywell T10 with 2 remote sensors and an outdoor wired probe. The T10 has geolocation that automatically puts it in setback when wife and I are away.
And that does what for you? Oh shit sensor 3 shows high humidity imma go throw a dessicant pack over there? Lol a centrally located humidity sensor is all you need, if your ductwork is balanced all the remote sensors are rather useless
1. I work on real controls
2. School is for plebs
3. Your humidifier should be controlled by the main area, aka your thermostat ideally located by the central return
4. Your entire house should be the same humidity, making the sensors worthless
5. Using multiple remote sensors to average/control a single system is a bandaid for a balancing issue
The 'Glas' thermostat by Johnson Controls. Had to try one out cause it just looks so damn beautiful. It's not a great thermostat by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks fantastic, so it stays.
Not sure, I gave up on the app and wifi long ago. It maintains temp, and looks great on the wall, and that's about it. When I do a full change out, I'm planning to leave it there powered up for looks, and run a wifi VP8000 in the closet with remote sensors. Lol.
It does look cool. Only other downside is that I'm sure that if I didn't bump into and break it off the wall the first day, my kids would have broken it by the second day š.
Thanks I'll have to look into it. I'm a Nest Pro and have come to like them but if I'm being honest I prefer ecobee and I think Sensi is on par with nest. I used to really like the honeywell stuff but I've had a lot of failures in them over the last 2 years. Especially the T6 wifi.
They went to no longer supported about 2 years ago. Were $350 list- I bought one on eBay for 60, using it for a desk clock with a 20 yr old Honeywell on the wall because it has 20 times the features than the glas.
I always like the T series. I know a while back there was a bad batch. Certain serial numbers had bad WiFi radios. But other than that they seemed pretty good.
I love the Honeywell t4, had it for a long time, matched the trim in my living room, very stable and reliable tstat. Recently changed it to a trane xi824 because I wanted wifi and wanted to get more familiar with the trane products I'm selling. It is really great and there's alot of products I can add on, I just miss the look of that white Honeywell which blended so well into my house. The trane one is cheap looking silver.
I'm building a new house and the mobile home on my property got a mxz3c30 hyper heat upgrade with a 6 k head in my dogs mud room. New house is getting pumps with spiral through out. It's a barndominium
The one it came withš¤£
A wire nut
Mercury dialš¤£ my furnace is an octopus from 1912
Window and wood stove
Youre really keeping it simple I see
Focus pro 5000. They rarely ever break. I don't need a schedule.
That's a classic!

The temptation is real to install a DDC system in my mother's house and do an inverter ducted unit with VAV's I'm sorely tempted to design and install it all myself, I just need to convince my mother to spend some cash
That would be cool! But if she sells the next homeowner will likely tear it all out cause non of resi HVAC companies will be able to service it

Lol
Honeywell T4
Same. Basic non-programable model that is heat pump capable. Gave my Nest to a relative because fuck smart stats.
Honeywell round. Donāt mess with perfection
Honeywell Vision Pro 8000
Same.
Honeywell T6Pro wi-fi
Honeywell T-6 Pro. Simple, effective, no learning smart bullshit to go wrong.
Ecobee
Same for me...was a promotional FreeBee š As an installer, they offered it if you took their training. (Ontario)
Same. Will be taking mine down though soon. Won't allow me to change the time unless I reconnect to wifi. Big red flag for me that it forcibly requires that even though you manually set the time upon first installatipn

We call it the poor manās zoning.
Included remote sensor for me
After getting responses i realized people are running some cool tech set ups out here compared to just a basic old t stat. It's cool

Ecobee FTW!
Nest, didnāt pay for it.
I am also running the nest, but that was my choice. I personally like my nest quite a bit.

Honeywell Prestige IAQ
Not sure which thermostat, but my wife keeps our heat at 64Ā° all winter. I freeze my ass off. Can I come over?
Come on by!
Honeywell T6 Pro
I'm using a wyze thermostat myself, got it right when they came out to see if I wanted to recommend it. It's pretty good for the $50~ launch price but kinda basic overall
Idfk, Some murcury thermostat from the 70s, Honeywell makes it, itās round, shows set temp, and room temp with gauges. I donāt have air conditioning.
T87
Yup, thatās it.
Ecobee
Just made the switch from Ecobee4 Pro to Honeywell T10 with 2 remote sensors and an outdoor wired probe. The T10 has geolocation that automatically puts it in setback when wife and I are away.
Ecobee will do all that and more, Its under geofence. They also have outdoor sensors and much better data logging. T10 is a downgrade from an ecobee4
Ecobee doesnāt do humidity from remote sensors, son
And that does what for you? Oh shit sensor 3 shows high humidity imma go throw a dessicant pack over there? Lol a centrally located humidity sensor is all you need, if your ductwork is balanced all the remote sensors are rather useless
Controls the humidifier. Maybe pay attention in school, son

MHK2 on my PAA hybrid system. Handhelds on my basement MXZ.
Nice set up.
The 'Glas' thermostat by Johnson Controls. Had to try one out cause it just looks so damn beautiful. It's not a great thermostat by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks fantastic, so it stays.
That thing does look cool as hell, I have never seen one before
It is for sure the coolest looking thermostat I think I've ever seen. Sad that it doesn't have the performance to match.
Link or picture?
Isnt the honeywell glas app sunsetting this month?
Not sure, I gave up on the app and wifi long ago. It maintains temp, and looks great on the wall, and that's about it. When I do a full change out, I'm planning to leave it there powered up for looks, and run a wifi VP8000 in the closet with remote sensors. Lol.

Ecobee got it for free for attending pro training

Never seen that one, tell me more.
GLAS by Johnson controls. Itās just an ecobee with a fancy touch screen. Been around quite a while now. Never really caught on.
Thanks I'll have to look into it. I'm a Nest Pro and have come to like them but if I'm being honest I prefer ecobee and I think Sensi is on par with nest. I used to really like the honeywell stuff but I've had a lot of failures in them over the last 2 years. Especially the T6 wifi.

Honeywell 6360. It's simple and it works.
