General

  1. What thermostat commands does Amazon Alexa support for TCC?

    When using the skill, you need to specify by name which thermostat/sensor to use. There are two ways to define this/these names:
    - Use the name(s) you set up already – these are shown in the TCC app and can be changed on http://mytotalconnectcomfort.com, or
    - Create an Alexa group, like Bedroom or Downstairs, and add the thermostat and/or one or more sensors to the group. More information at http://amzn.to/2965dCE

    Once you know the name or group of your thermostat, you can say the following:

    Alexa, set [group or thermostat name] to X degrees.
    Alexa, raise [group or thermostat name] by X degrees.
    Alexa, lower [group or thermostat name] by X degrees.

    You can also try variations, such as “raise [group or thermostat name] temperature” or “cool [group or thermostat name]”.

  2. How do I integrate with the Amazon Alexa?

    Search the Skills database within the Amazon Alexa app or http://alexa.amazon.com for “Honeywell” and click “Enable Skill” to start the process. Fid more information about connecting Smart Home devices at http://amzn.to/291lR7u

Android users may notice a set of permissions when you first use the new version of the app. These are auto-generated by Google. They address some of the features you’ve been already using such as the ability to reach out to a contractor near you from the app. As we prepare Total Connect Comfort for future updates, we’ll continue to communicate what this will mean for you.

Wi-Fi Thermostat

  1. What is My Total Connect Comfort?

    My Total Connect Comfort is a web portal for remote access to a Honeywell Home Home RedLINK™ enabled or Wi-Fi enabled thermostat.

  2. I do not have a C wire on my old thermostat.

    If you do not have a wire connected to a C terminal or one that is labeled labeled C on your old thermostat, there might be an extra wire that is pushed into the wall or wrapped around the wire bundle coming from the wall. Gently pull on the wire bundle to check whether there are any additional wires. If you do not have any additional wires, please refer to http://wifithermostat.com/installation-videos for alternative wiring.

  3. Do I need a C wire to install my new thermostat?

    Yes - the C wire is necessary because it provides power to your new thermostat.

  4. Why do I have to verify that the heating and cooling system door is firmly secured?

    Most heating and cooling systems have a built in safety switch, which stops power to the heating and cooling system if the door is not secured.

  5. Do the color of the wires correspond to the letters on my new thermostat?

    There is not code governing color of wires and thermostat connections. The thermostat should be wired by letter found next to the wire screw terminal block. If you do not know the letter labels, then you can trace the wires back to the air handler/furnace or heat pump/ac unit. That will allow you to determine the function of each wire at the system and then allow you to attach it to the matching terminal on the thermostat.

  6. I have additional wires in my wall that were not connected to my old thermostat. Do I need them to install my new thermostat?

    An extra unused wire in the wall can be used as the C wire for your new thermostat. The extra wire will also need to be connected to the C (common) terminal at the heating and cooling system. This will provide power to your new thermostat. Please refer to the video section for more information.

  7. My metal jumper wire fell out of my new thermostat, which terminals does the jumper need to be connected to on the thermostat wallplate?

    The jumper wire can easily be replaced connecting it to the "R" and "RC" terminals on your thermostat wallplate. If you are unable to find the factory installed jumper, a short piece of wire can be used in its place. Please refer to step 1.7 in the Quick Start Guide.

  8. My heating and cooling system has a terminal labeled "COM". What is a COM terminal and what do I do with it?

    A COM terminal is often used as another name for the C terminal and issued to provide power to your thermostat. COM can also refer to a communication circuit and will not provide power to the thermostat. If you have both a C and COM terminal on your heating and cooling system the thermostat should be wired to the C terminal. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for more information.

  9. I am not sure whether my new thermostat is wired correctly.

    Resideo offers several resources to assist in the wiring of your new thermostat. These resources include: Installation videos, a User Guide and a Quick Start Guide. If you are still unsure if your new thermostat is wired correctly, please contact Resideo Customer Care at 1-855-733-5465.

  10. I am having difficulty removing my old thermostat.

    Often times, the thermostat will snap off of the wallplate with moderate pressure. Other times, there might be small screws holding the device in place. If you are unable to pull it off, please refer to your thermostat manufacturer's website or manual for removal instructions. NOTE: Do not place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at www.thermostat-recyle.org or 1-800-238-8192 for information on how and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat.

  11. How do I know if my old thermostat contains mercury?

    The thermostat will have a glass tube with a silver liquid inside of the tube. Mercury is typically found in older mechanical thermostats like the Honeywell Round T87 and rectangular T8090. NOTE: Do not place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at www.thermostat-recyle.org or 1-800-238-8192 for information on how and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat.

  12. What tools or materials are necessary for the installation of my new thermostat?

    In most cases, the only tools and materials required are a small flat edge screwdriver, #2 Phillips screwdriver, your thermostat ID card (located in the box), and your home Wi-Fi Network password.

  13. Why do I need the lithium battery when I have a C wire?

    The battery maintains the time and date in your thermostat during power outages. It does not provide power to your thermostat.

  14. I do not know if the battery cell is fully inserted in the back of the thermostat.

    The battery should slightly stick out of the battery slot. A correctly inserted battery will extend about halfway out of the battery slot on the thermostat.

  15. What is a cycle rate?

    Cycle rate is the maximum number of times a system will run, in an hour, when using 50% of its capacity to maintain a given temperature. For a high efficiency (90%+) gas or oil forced air systems would have a recommended cycle rate of 3. This means the heating system will cycle a maximum of 3 times in an hour. If it is really cold outside the heating system will be on longer and cycle less, if it is mild outside the heating system will run less (be off longer) and again cycle less. Again, the actual on and off time of the heating system will vary as the load on the heating system varies.

  16. How do I find the password to my router?

    Check the operating manual or the router for the password. If you are still unable to find the password contact the manufacturer of the router.

  17. Will my thermostat still work if I lose my Wi-Fi connection?

    Yes, the thermostat will operate your heating and/or cooling system with or without Wi-Fi.

  18. Why am I not seeing my Wi-Fi setup page?

    You are probably connected only to your router, not to your thermostat. Try connecting to the thermostat again.

  19. Why isn’t my thermostat connecting to my Wi-Fi router even though it is very close to the thermostat?

    Verify that the password entered for the Wi-Fi router is correct.

  20. What are the MAC ID and MAC CRC for?

    The MAC ID and MAC CRC are the unique identifiers used for registering your new Wi-Fi thermostat.
