Honeywell REM5000R1001 Portable Comfort Control, White (Open Box)

My thermostat is located in my hallway, so when the bedroom doors are closed, the temperature of the rooms is based on the hallway temp readings which makes for the bedrooms being too hot or cold and not reflective of the temps needed in the rooms. This product solved that issue for me. This allows me to take the thermostat into the rooms and control them from bedside which is great. Also makes for a good nightlight if you need a quick light to check anything. Installation was fairly easy. I viewed some YouTube video general installation of these types of product but Honeywell, of course, doesn't provide any videos that I could fine because they are totally clueless about their do it yourself audience but I tried my hand at the installation and it worked beautifully. Luckily my house was wired with the additional wire needed to make the wireless feature function properly (you need four wires at the thermostat, older houses have only three in some cases, the fourth wire provides power to the wireless feature. In my case I had a fourth wire and I suspect most houses that are 20 yrs or less are wired this way but not using the fourth wire which was pushed back in the wall and and this fourth wire needs to be connected at the AC unit also). Yes, you have to read a little to do this but it can be done by you. In other words, this product only works with their wireless featured thermostats so you need to have that wired in place first since you need to replace the unit in the wall that don't have that feature, like I replaced my wall units. One other thing about this product that I have come to appreciate is that I can set up min/max temperatures that allow the air conditioner or heater to kick in when I am not at home. My older system was set up in a way that I had to manually change the system to use the heater or the ac, one or the other, and this was a royal pain when I was traveling and the temperature outside would drop but I wasn't home to switch the system to heat instead of AC. This new Honeywell wall unit that was compatible with this remote controller (Honeywell TH8110R1008 Vision Pro 8000 Touch Screen) resolved that issue, so if you have an older thermostat this will make your life easier. In addition, Honeywell provides the worst installation instructions and no clarity at all in the product literature you need to determine which products to use. I suspect they want the average person to use a professional to install this even though it is not necessary. Honeywell, you need to understand that with the internet you have many customers that want to save money and do it yourself. They are using your pathetic product literature to figure this out and You Tube videos do a much better job than your terrible site and information you provide. We know you need to stay loyal to your resellers but please get a clue already and get your marketing geniuses to figure out the proper balance between your paying end user customers and your resellers!
