Honeywell Home RTH6580WF Wi-Fi 7-Day Programmable Thermostat - Amazon Warehouse - Good used

In the last two weeks I bought three of these. I tried one first and it was really good so I standardized our house on them. The price has fluctuated. At one point it was $16 and I got two of mine for $18. $21.26 (now $26.51) is still a great deal on a good Wifi thermostat. I wanted a wifi thermostat without too much tech (no motion sensors or too much automated guesswork) that was reliable and easy to use. These filled the bill nicely. The app works reliably. The thermostat fit two of my three marks on the wall from the old thermostat with no painting and the old holes in the wall lined up nicely from all three. Both came in the orginal box and had been carefully repacked. Take a picture of the mac address on the back of the thermostat before you click it into place on the mount. You'll need the Mac address. They were easy to get online, I used my 2.4 wifi band as that seems to work better with all my home automation. A C wire is needed for these and I ended up running that to all three because I only had four wires on my older setup.

Look for the Amazon Warehouse listing for the best price. The price fluctuates so YMMV on the actual price.

That's a great price. I can't tell if these are refurbished or if they're new. It says something like "Save with Used - Good".

No thanks Honeywell. I've gone through 3 in 4 years! AC tech from the company that installed my system told me they're the worst. My Honeywell kitchen light died after 2.5 years. I was told 12 weeks to receive a new one. 4.5 months later. Yes! 4.5 months! Half the LED light is now burned out after 4 months! No more Honeywell for me.
Weird, I've had 2 since they came out close to 10 years ago and no issue...

Love mine!

I believe mine were returns, which is what most Amazon warehouse deals are. A lot of people will return these when they realize that they need a C wire and then discover that they don't have one and they would have to run one to the thermostat. All three set up and function well.

Why C wire?
And why people don't have one?

Without c wire it operates solely on internal battery which apparently this model does not have.
Side note: I would only buy a thermostat the has temperature differential settings anyhow.

Check the reviews, sounds like nightmare fuel unless you just like waiting around for 1800 customer service or doing never-ending troubleshooting.

I'll value my time a little bit and go ecobee every time.

Must be referring to lighted display?

The C wire provides low voltage from your HVAC system to the thermostat, powering it for advanced features.

In the past, it might have been used for thermostats that allowed you to set up schedules, although many could achieve that with a thermostat using AA batteries.

Now, it is more commonly used with IoT thermostats that have Wi-Fi. Older homes didn't have the C wire because thermostats were mechanical controls.

It's not too difficult to run the C wire, or if your thermostat is near an outlet, you can simply get a power brick, though that's not the cleanest installation and may be an eyesore for some.

If your home was built in the last 20 years, there's a good chance you have the C wire connected to the thermostat.

I have been using a Honeywell Lyric T5 for the last 8 years without any issues, and it is integrated into Home Assistant. I use geofencing to turn the heat on or off depending on people's locations, which is a great energy saver!

Remember folks, the 'S' in "IoT" stands for security.
Wouldn't it be terrible if someone hacked your thermostat and.... changed your home's temperature?

I've had one similar to this for about ten years. Does the job. No temp swing adjustment and you HAVE to use their servers, which don't seem to be connecting recently.
