Purchased the RENEWRTH6580WF 7-Day Wi-Fi Programmable Thermostat and chose renewed to get a better deal. It had a little smudge on it but other than that it looked brand new. My main reason for replacing my old programmable thermostat was it is not Wifi and I can't control it with Alexa. The 6580 requires a C-wire connection and my previous one didn't so I looked to see if there were unused wires and there were. So, I checked the furnace/air handler and saw there was a wire connected to the C terminal. I tagged the same color wire at the thermostat end. I also tagged the other 4 wires as to the terminals they were connected to. I disconnected the wires and removed the old thermostat base, after turning off the power, and installed the new base. I leveled it since the directions said to do so but there's no mercury bubble, so I don't see the purpose other than aesthetics. I snapped the thermostat to the base, turned the power back on and started following the Quick Start Guide that came with the thermostat. Creating a Total Connect Comfort account, connecting to Wifi and my home network using my phone was easy but when registering, the Total Connect Comfort web site needed information from the Thermostat ID Card which was not included in the box, so I called support. They told me the information was on the back of the thermostat and sure enough it was but the Quick Reference Card that I was directed to slide into a slot on the back of the thermostat was hiding it. After entering the needed information, I received Thermostat Registration Success. Then I downloaded the Total Connect Comfort app and it found my Thermostat. Now for the tricky part, connecting it to Alexa. When connecting it to Alexa she asks what type of thermostat do you have, and I chose Honeywell Home which prompted me to sign in to Resideo(formerly Honeywell Home). I never had a Resideo account and I thought maybe my Honeywell information would transfer but it didn't. After multiple attempts I decided to delete the Resideo account and start over. This time I chose the Honeywell Total Connect Comfort type of thermostat and VOILA! I was connected to Alexa.
The disappointing part of this is Alexa allows me to view the present state of my thermostat, change the temperature up or down through the app or with voice commands but nothing else.
The Honeywell app allows me to change from cool to heat to off, change fan setting from auto to on, create or change my programmed schedule, displays the current temperature OUTSIDE, provides a 5-day forecast for my location along with showing the present state of my thermostat and allowing me to change the temperature up or down, and the app is free. (place mind blown emoji here)
Bottom line: Evidently the thermostat ID Card is attached to the back of the thermostat and not a separate card in the box so copy the info before installing. If connecting to Alexa manage your expectation because you will not have much control, do not choose Honeywell Home for the thermostat type choose Honeywell Total Connect Comfort and do not attempt to use Resideo, it does not work. I use the Honeywell Home Total Connect Comfort app (TCC) because I don't have any other Honeywell smart products in my home. If you do you may want to choose one of the other Honeywell apps like Honeywell Home Suite. Setting up a schedule was easy but I had to do it for each day separately instead of one schedule for M-F and another for the weekend. I may have missed something, so I'll look through the user guide later.
I'm happy with the thermostat and would recommend. It is a very good value at a nice price point and comes with a user-friendly app that allows access to multiple thermostat controls as well as controlling multiple thermostats. I may upgrade one day to a thermostat with the color touch display but for now this one works just fine.
