This second‑generation smart thermostat combines a vivid, changeable color display with remote management and energy‑saving features. Designed for connected homes, it pairs with your Wi‑Fi and the Honeywell Home app so you can monitor and adjust temperature from a phone, tablet or computer. It supports forced air, hydronic and many heat pump systems, provides intelligent alerts for maintenance, and qualifies for Energy Star energy‑saving programs when available.

How will this thermostat simplify my daily temperature control?

The RTH9585WF lets you set a seven‑day schedule or make temporary adjustments on the fly using the touchscreen or mobile app. It also offers auto changeover, so it switches between heating and cooling when needed to maintain steady comfort.

• 7‑day programmable scheduling with permanent, temporary or vacation holds
• Bright touchscreen for easy local control
• Remote access via Honeywell Home app on phone or tablet
• Auto change from heat to cool for consistent comfort

What compatibility and wiring should I check before buying?

This model works with most forced‑air (gas, oil, electric), hot water and steam systems, plus heat pumps with electric backup. It requires a common (C) wire for power and is not compatible with line‑voltage electric baseboard heating (120–240 V) or heat pumps that use baseboard electric heat.

• Requires C‑wire; check for adapter if C‑wire missing
• Compatible with heat/cool systems and most oil furnaces (with C‑wire)
• Not for line‑voltage electric baseboard heat
• Not compatible with heating‑only oil furnaces unless C‑wire present

How does it help reduce energy use and maintenance hassles?

Energy Star certification and monthly energy reports help you track usage and find savings opportunities. The thermostat also sends maintenance reminders—like air filter or humidifier pad changes—and notifies you if indoor temperature or humidity reaches extreme levels.

• Energy Star certified with monthly energy reports
• Smart alerts for filters, humidifier pads, and extreme conditions
• Works with utility demand‑response programs and possible rebates
• Flexible programming to align with peak pricing and savings plans

Can I use voice commands and third‑party smart home systems?

Yes — the thermostat is Alexa‑ready and also works with Google Home, allowing voice control and integration with common smart home routines. Use the Honeywell Home app to link accounts and manage voice permissions and scenes.

• Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home
• Control temperature using voice commands and routines
• App‑based integration for remote access and settings synchronization
• Secure Wi‑Fi connection for reliable app availability

Who is this for: The Honeywell Home RTH9585WF is aimed at homeowners and renters with compatible low‑voltage HVAC systems who want an easy, attractive way to control heating and cooling from anywhere. It’s a solid choice if you value a customizable display, smart alerts, utility program compatibility, and voice control—provided your system has or can supply a C‑wire.
