Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

I have bought many different types of thermostats throught out my life and by far this one takes the cake. Honeywell makes the best products around, I mean this. I have spent countless hours researching what will work perfectly for my new home. I love this model. The HD is awesome. I can see the display from over 30 feet away. I love the precise accuracy that the temperature it holds and keeps. The outside temp with humidity is right one to the degree and percent. I am not joking. I am more than happy that I bought this unit and would totally recommend this to anyone who wants comfort, ease of use and a display that rocks. I also love the remote control unit. Before I get up in the morning, I turn the heat on right from my bed side. Instead of having two thermostats, I use the remote and it is like having a dual unit. Now this completes my new custom built home. Awesome!!!

All the info about installing was here. I am not an HVAC expert. 10 min install.

I think this product is great. The controls are easy to use. I have only had the product for three weeks and still need to look into some more features, but if you are looking for a thermostat and humidistat in one along with a wireless remote, this is definitely the way to go. Also, if you have a new born, it's really nice to have the remote so you know the room the child is in maintains an accurate temperature even in an old home. Hope this helps.

This is a well made thermostat with a nice remote unit (personal comfort control). You can feel the quality of the thermostat and remote when handling - they feel solid and work very well.
The installation was straight forward. Even though the manufacterer recomends a pro install, nearly anyone can install this. Just be sure to check how many wires go to your current thermostat - this unit requires 5. However, if you only have 4 (like I did), be sure to pick up the Honeywell wiresaver ( THP9045A1007)that will easily fix this issue. The wall thermostat was a bit smaller than my old thermostat, so I also added the wallplate (THP9045A1007) for the unit, so I didn't have to do any wall repairs. It looks and works great! At night I operate my thermostat from the remote unit up in my bedroom - since upstairs bedroom gets hot while downstairs is cold, this feature will save me a fortune this winter (5 degree temp differential between upstairs and downstairs). I have no regrets in paying a bit more for this great equipment.

Great product. Easy to install (Prothermostats.com includes video tutorial). This product solved a builder error in our new home. We needed to move the thermostat to our living room and this product enables us to do that, at a fraction of the cost of having the house rewired! Actually, this product is better because we can now place the thermostat in any room! The display is attractive and includes a remote for outdoor temp. We love this product! [...]the lowest price on the Internet. Thanks!

Replaced my old thermostat in a few minutes. Very easy to use. Very convenient to have remote control. Also can use the remote as the temperature sensor.

This is a great product, however I would like to see another accessory and an added function. First would be a wall mounted remote that resembles the primary touchscreen unit. This would be good for the upstairs area instead of the night-stand remote. Second, how about making the primary or secondary touchscreen unit controllable via IP. This would allow remote control of thermostat on vacation homes or while traveling.

This thermostat requires an extra power wire. Some builders, to save a buck, only install a four-wire cable to the original thermostat. Fortunately, Honeywell has a $30 solution: The Honeywell WireSaver Module, part #THP9045A1007, available from this site. This module mounts near the furnace (or zone controller). It accepts four wires coming from the Prestige thermostat and connects to the furnace with five. The Prestige is designed to communicate with this device using only the four wires. Your furnace or zone controller, however, will "see" five wires and be happy.

This thermostat is the best of the best. When considering this thermostat, do not hesitate to spring the extra cash. It's worth it. The only thing is, this thermostat needs to be installed by a very confident DIYer or by a professional. When I ordered this stat, I didn't realize that this was part of Honeywell's "Professionally Installed" line of thermostats. Not wanting to spend the money to pay someone for a service call and installation, I decided to do some research and find out if it could be done myself. After reading info all over the Internet about this and other stats, I gave it a try. Turns out, reseach pays off. Installation went smooth and the stat works very well. Menus are very intuitive. Layout is excellent. Touch controls are fantastic. The remote is incredible and a VERY nice convienence. Excellent comfort system. Don't hesitate.

Make sure you have access to 24v wire which is usually not needed in standard thermostat install.

This was a very pleasant experience from shopping and purchasing down to installing and using. My wife is very happy with the easy to use touch screen. The only "con" to this is it's pricey compared to other "smart" systems but you get what you pay for.

Get the date code for programming this item under the equip status query button. Then you need to enter it as the password before going to installer options. The date code is the password.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

This is a great thermostat but I would only recommend it if you get the remote control. I live in a townhouse w/ 3 floors and I was tired of running downstairs to adjust the heat during the winter. The remote is great because A. I don't have to run around anymore and B. it saves me money because I am mainly upstairs and having the thermostat on the main level was killing me on costs to keep the upstairs warm (the remote can serve as a thermostat too - reading the upstairs temp to start/stop the heater)

Other than my very specific reasons I can't really recommend spending $250-$300 on a thermostat unless you like really cool gadgets and have excessive income.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

The design and implementation of this thermostat is first-rate, from the hardware with its beautiful touch-screen to its software design, which is as good as I have ever seen on any touch-screen device. It is a joy to set up, a joy to use, and a joy to show off to visitors. It is pure luxury to come home at the end of the day to a house that is always the right temperature, whether the sun is beating down outside or the fog has rolled in, plunging the outside temperature by 50 degrees. (It cools as necessary, heats as necessary, without your intervention.)

The Vacation mode is also deluxe: You touch your start date & time and your return date & time, and it goes into your desired vacation mode, bringing the house back to a livable temperature just in time to welcome you home. That is the very essence of luxury.

A couple of gotchas: First, one that has been covered in other reviews: You have to have five wires running to this thermostat. It requires power which many thermostats don't. Please note, however, that the benefits of this thermostat are so tremendous that it is worth doing anything necessary to get it to work, even if that means running a new wire.

Second, the remote controls have a significant limitation I never found mentioned before ordering: You cannot tie more than one remote control to a given thermostat. That means that, if you and your spouse each want a remote in the living room, you are fresh out of luck. (We had to send our extra one we ordered back, at our expense, since they didn't warn us.)

The remotes have other limitations as well. You have your choice of either using a remote to control multiple thermostats or having richer capabilities by tying it to a single unit. Specifically, you can have the thermostat regulate the room based on the temperature measured at the remote, rather than at the wall unit, quite useful if the wall unit was not optimally-sited. That capability goes away as soon as you tie the remote to a second thermostat.

If you do want the remote to talk to more than one thermostat, it might find itself unable to do so. Our master bedroom in our 2800 square foot house is far enough removed that the living room remote cannot make contact at all with the bedroom thermostat. This was at first of concern since our experience with other programmable remotes was that their programs were so hard to set up and modify that we pretty much reverted to manual control. These thermostats are so easy to program and to change once programmed, that we rarely if ever touch them. We don't need to control the bedroom from the living room.

One other piece of missing info is that a single Wireless Outdoor Sensor will support multiple thermostats, so there's no reason to own more than one. (While the living room remote couldn't talk to the bedroom thermostat, we were easily able to find a location for the outdoor sensor midway between where it could communicate with both thermostats.) On the other hand. the kit prices are such that it may be cheaper to end up with an extra one than to buy everything separately.

Our control system consists of:
1) Honeywell HZ432 4-Zone Controller
2) THX9321R5000 Prestige™ HD Color Touchscreen Thermostat
1) C7089R1013 Wireless Outdoor Sensor
2) REM5000R1001 Personal Comfort Station
2) Generic thermostats for our other two bedrooms

Everything has been great about this thermostat[...] how easy it installs and operates. The controls are very easy to operate. The only con is how the screen is unlocked. I would prefer it prompt for the password if you want to make adjustments, instead it requires a few more steps. It is helpful to lock the screen until the little ones understand they are not to turn up the heat to 90!

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

I wanted to replace an old mercury switch style thermostat in a home my wife and I had just purchased. I've installed other digital thermostats and when I found this I had to have it. Turns out that this thing is just perfect. It's better than any other digital thermostat I've had or seen. Touch is sensitive and works like you'd hope it would. Can't get this at the bog box stores at the time of this writing.

The only slight hang-up for me was that it requires a 24v power supply and that wire was not specifically behind my old thermostat. I was basically missing the blue wire (typical color used for 24v although could be any color of course). There were a couple extra unused wires in the main thermostat cable and luckily after stripping it back a couple inches and finding a 24v connection on the furance in the basement all systems were go. Just keep in mind that it is a large color touch screen and a 24v power supply is required, this unit doesn't take batteries and will not run without giving it the 24 volts it needs.

The remote is not in color (monochrome) but the added functionality of having a 2nd portable thermostat is hard to beat. The remote is heavy and feels very solid. It stands up nicely on a bed side table. It is easy to wirelessly pair up to main unit.

Outdoor sensor is a breeze to pair up as well and works fine. Not as big a deal as the remote or the fancy main unit but nice bonus to know outside temp.

Good luck, enjoy!

This is the best thermostat I have ever seen or used, period!!!! I can see this in the middle of the night without having to get my glasses or turn a light on.
The only thing that I am dissappointed about is that the description states that: USB Port allows downloading of installer settings to quickly and consistently perform setup of thermostats in similar applications, let me to believe this would come with software.. Had I known, I would have looked for a higher end unit.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

This is a great thermostat and is super easy to use and install. But if you have 900mhz. baby monitors then don't bother buying the wireless remote or outdoor sensor. Every 30 seconds or so it sends and aweful static interferance through the baby monitors which is unbareable so I needed to disconned the wireless options and they are now expensive toys sitting back in the box. But other than the interferance issue it is great.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

After trying 2 other remote-controlled thermostats, decided to go with the best! This has not only met all expectations but exceeded them. Love the "portable" remote/sensor. Installation was a breeze. Can't say enough good things but you can see how pleased I am by this big smile on my face!

Great product. Everyone is impressed with the color screen.

High ceilings rooms are hard to guage an accurate temperature. The remote thermostat feature of this system has made the living space much more accurate for temperature control.

bought this stat for our home. the price scared me a bit but wanted a really nice looking stat to hang on the wall. instalation took a bit but was not hard just wanted to make sure i got it roght. the screen is as advertised, beautiful....touch screen is wonderful and very responsive. everything you need help with is right on the thermostat, if you have a question there is a little help button you touch and it pops up a screen to help you out. also have the outdoor sensor, not sure how accurate it is but i would say it is withing 4 or 5 degrees. aslo have the wireless remote which is very nice, can carry it from room to room and that has been wonderful, when i go to bed at night and i am hot dont have to get up and walk all the way down to the thermostat can just adjust it from my bed via the remote. overall it is well worth the pricetag

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

I am very impressed with this product. It was very easy to setup and I like the sleek look and feel of the unit. It was simple to hook up the wireless devices and I really like how you are able to use the temperature reading on the thermostat or the wireless controller. The only issue you would need to be aware of is that this unit requires a 24V common connection. In my case I needed to run an additional cable from the thermostat to my furnace. If you are not the handy type this can be difficult.

I would really recommend this thermostat to anyone.

This is really a pleasure to install, configure and use. The user interface is wonderful, the touch screen has perfect sensitivity, and the high resolution color screen is just beautiful.

This is one of the best thermostats I have ever seen, if you can get over the cost for the complete package you wont be let down. This units display is like none other and the functions are a easy to navigate. I like cooling or heating the fist floor of our home from the bedroom upstairs. If you want to add a level of elegance in the room where your unit is located than look no further, your search has come to an end. I bought mine from NTS Supply in Indianapolis, IN, Great people to deal with and a great price.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Prestige HD YTHX9321R5003 Deluxe Comfort Thermostat System Kit:

I purchased one of these thermostats through the IAQSource.com, but I did encounter a problem during the install no display on the thermostats screen. My owe thermostats cable have five wires and the green cable is not use, base on the document the green cable is connects to the 24VAC common (C label on thermostats). I try to install for three hours with no luck then I called the Honeywell support, after 30 minutes on the phone, he told me this thermostats is only for professional installation. [...]The same problem with the first thermostats. I open the air condition panel and look for the green wire. The green wire is not connected to the C label or transformer. I connected the cable and the thermostats work right away. I love the display and touch screen, easy install wireless devise and program. I can see the big number from 20ft. Base on the manual, the installer Options is only for professionally qualified technicians. If you know litter about computer and wireless, you can add the remote and outdoor sensor to the thermostats very easy. To install or replace the old thermostat, just follow the cable color codes and labels on the old thermostat. My wife loves the remote controller. She can turn on or off with out to leave the bed. I love my new Honeywell! It does exactly what I want it to do and it is so easy to operate. Plus, it looks pretty cool on my wall. [...] I installed the second thermostats on the second floor for about 15 minutes. You will love these high end thermostats.
