Honeywell VisionPro 8000 Programmable Themostat
Honeywell VisionPro 8000 programmable (RTH 8500) is the simple-to-use thermostat ever. Its intuitive logic responds to your choices for optimal comfort and Maximum energy savings. The best to put it isthe VisionPRO 8000 works hard so you dont have to.
Honeywell did a study on programmable thermostats and found that most people who have them don’t really use them. Instead they leave the thermostats in “hold” mode permanently and just manually the thermostat whenever they want to adjust it. Basically, if it’s not easy to use, you’re not going to use it.
I went through the instruction manual and used an online demo before deciding on a Honeywell Vision PRO 8000 series thermostat. Honeywell has done a fantastic job designing a simple, intuitive user interface. For those who are not much into computers, all this means is that it has easy-to-use controls that anyone can learn in just one or two minutes.
Think of it like a simplified Palm Pilot that controls your furnace and Air Conditioning. It’s easier to program than your VCR, and it’s nearly as easy to use as your microwave.
Programming Features
There is also a “holding” setting that you can allow when you want to physically set the thermostat. I think most programmable thermostats have this feature. . The RTH8500D has additional temporary setting for holding for a few hours, in increments of 15 minutes, or until the next scheduled time period. It also has a vacation hold setting. If you are going on holiday for two weeks, you can the thermostat to hold at a fixed temperature for 14 days. The thermostat will be sure to revert to its normal schedule 2 weeks later.
