Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostat Questions

[danjp (Daniel Pena)]

I have the RTH9580WF, and yes the “heat” button allows you to toggle through modes and there is one below it that allows you to “resume program”

I had the thermostat before I had smartthings and there is some issues with third party connections sometimes, I think if I could get the same functionality out of a Zwave thermostat I might have went that way, but here is some things I’ve done with it.

I like this one because the circulate function for the fan is kind of built into the schedule and this way I can just turn it on base on temperature difference between upstairs and downstairs.

when changing thermostat temps by routines it changes temp to a permanent hold and doesn’t really allow to resume program, so I use this to resume the built in thermostat program when some one comes home.

I also use the thermostat mode director to turn it on or off based on the upstairs temperature instead of downstairs where the thermostat is at

[OBSOLETE] Thermostat Mode Director

Hey guys! I am pleased to announce a new app into my “Director Series” of apps. Pretty simple one here. Basically it controls your thermostat mode (heat, cool, off, auto) from a customizable temperature range from a external sensor. So if you want it to be in a “cooling” state when it is warm outside you can do that! If you want to have it off when it is between 40 and 70 degree (like i do) you can do that, and of course if it is below 40 degrees you can put it into a “heating” state. The exciting part here is I have added the ability to check contact sensors as well! So if you want to open your doors during the warmer months my app will see that and turn off your thermostat for you! I tested this the best I could but please give it a whirl and let me know if you see any issues! A…
