Unboxing and Component Checklist
Upon opening your Honeywell Wi-Fi 9000 package, carefully verify the contents against this checklist. You should find the thermostat unit itself, featuring a vibrant color touchscreen display.
Also included is the thermostat baseplate for wall mounting, mounting screws and anchors for secure installation, and wire labels to aid in proper wiring. A quick start guide provides initial setup instructions.
Confirm the presence of all components before proceeding. If any items are missing or damaged, immediately contact Honeywell Customer Care for replacement. Retain the original packaging for potential returns or warranty claims.
Safety Precautions
Important Safety Information: Before installing or servicing your Honeywell Wi-Fi 9000, always disconnect power to your HVAC system at the breaker panel to prevent electrical shock.
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermostat yourself; this will void the warranty.
Keep the thermostat dry and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. Follow all local electrical codes during installation. Improper wiring can damage the system or create a fire hazard.
Installation Guide
Begin installation by verifying system compatibility and the crucial C-wire connection. Securely mount the thermostat base and carefully power on the system for setup.
System Compatibility Check
Before installation, confirm your heating and cooling system is compatible with the Honeywell Wi-Fi 9000. This thermostat supports most 24 VAC heating and cooling systems, including furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners.
Check your existing system’s manual or contact the manufacturer to identify the wiring configuration and ensure a 24 VAC common (C-wire) is available.
Incompatible systems may require a C-wire adapter kit, sold separately. Verify voltage requirements and consult Honeywell’s compatibility tool online for detailed guidance.
Wiring the Thermostat – C-Wire Requirement
Proper wiring is crucial for Honeywell Wi-Fi 9000 functionality. This thermostat requires a 24 VAC common (C-wire) to provide continuous power. Without a C-wire, the system may not operate correctly or consistently.
Identify the C-wire terminal on your existing thermostat base. If a C-wire isn’t present, you may need to run a new wire or utilize a C-wire adapter kit.
Refer to Honeywell’s alternate wiring videos at honeywellhome.com/wifi for detailed instructions and diagrams. Incorrect wiring can damage your system.
Mounting the Thermostat Base
Before mounting, ensure power to your HVAC system is completely OFF at the breaker; Carefully remove your old thermostat from the wall plate, noting the wire connections. Use the included screws and wall anchors to securely attach the Honeywell Wi-Fi 9000 baseplate to the wall.
Ensure the base is level for proper display alignment. Gently push wires through the opening in the baseplate, avoiding any pinching or damage. Double-check all wire connections against your wiring diagram before proceeding.
Powering On and Initial Setup
With the baseplate securely mounted and wires correctly connected, restore power to your HVAC system at the breaker. The thermostat display should illuminate, initiating the startup sequence. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your language and set the date and time.
The thermostat will then guide you through a system check, verifying proper wiring and component functionality. You’ll be prompted to name your thermostat location for easy identification within the Honeywell Home app.
Connecting to Wi-Fi
Establish a wireless connection by downloading the Honeywell Home app and following the guided setup. Register your thermostat for remote access!
Downloading the Honeywell Home App
Begin by downloading the Honeywell Home app, essential for Wi-Fi connectivity and remote control of your thermostat. The app is available for free on both the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) and the Google Play Store (for Android devices).
Simply search for “Honeywell Home” within your app store and select the official app developed by Honeywell International Inc. Ensure you download the correct application to avoid compatibility issues.
Once downloaded, launch the app and prepare to create an account or log in if you already have one. This app is your gateway to unlocking the full potential of your Wi-Fi 9000!
Wi-Fi Network Selection and Password Entry
After launching the Honeywell Home app, the app will guide you through connecting your thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network. The app will scan for available networks in your area, displaying them in a list.
Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list. You will then be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi password. Ensure you enter the password correctly, as it is case-sensitive.
A successful connection will be indicated within the app. If the connection fails, double-check your password and ensure your thermostat is within range of your router.
Thermostat Registration and Account Creation

Creating Custom Schedules
Custom schedules allow personalized temperature control throughout the day, maximizing comfort and minimizing energy consumption; Access the scheduling feature through the Honeywell Home app or directly on the thermostat’s touchscreen. You can define different temperature settings for various time periods – wake, leave, return, and sleep – tailoring the schedule to your lifestyle.
Easily copy settings to multiple days, creating a consistent weekly routine. The thermostat supports up to four distinct schedules per day, offering granular control. Remember to save your changes after each adjustment to ensure the schedule is properly implemented.
Setting Temperature Hold Options
Temperature Hold overrides your programmed schedule, maintaining a specific temperature for a defined duration. You can initiate a hold directly on the thermostat or via the Honeywell Home app. Choose between a temporary hold, reverting to the schedule at the next programmed change, or a permanent hold, maintaining the set temperature indefinitely.
Specify the hold duration in hours or set a custom end time. The thermostat clearly displays when a hold is active. Utilizing hold options provides convenient, on-demand temperature adjustments without disrupting your established schedule.
Using Geofencing for Automated Control
Geofencing leverages your smartphone’s location to automatically adjust the thermostat. Through the Honeywell Home app, define a virtual perimeter around your home. When your phone enters this zone, the thermostat switches to “Home” settings, optimizing for comfort. Conversely, exiting the zone activates “Away” settings, conserving energy.
Customize temperature settings for both “Home” and “Away” modes. Geofencing offers seamless, automated climate control, responding to your presence without manual intervention. Ensure location services are enabled on your device for optimal functionality.
