Determine What Type of Thermostat You Have

Before setting the temperature on your Honeywell Home Thermostat, you need to know what type of thermostat you have. There are two main categories: manual and digital.

A manual thermostat has a dial or a lever that you can use to adjust the temperature.

A digital thermostat has a display and buttons that you can use to set the temperature and other features. The digital category has three subtypes: basic, programmable, and smart.

• A basic digital thermostat allows you to set the temperature manually using the up and down arrows. It does not have any scheduling or remote control options.
• A programmable digital thermostat allows you to create a custom program for different days and periods. You can set different temperatures for different times of the day, such as morning, afternoon, evening, and night. You can also override the program temporarily by adjusting the temperature setting.
• A smart digital thermostat allows you to set the temperature, create schedules, and control your HVAC system remotely using a touchscreen or an app. You can also use voice commands with compatible devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. A smart thermostat can also learn from your habits and adjust the temperature automatically. It is called recovery mode. Learn how to disable recovery on honeywell thermostat.
