How to Set the Temperature of Your Honeywell Thermostat. If you have a manual thermostat, setting the temperature on your Honeywell thermostat is simple. All you need to do is to press the up and down buttons to set the temperature. The temperature you set will stay until you change the temperature again.
To completely bypass all programming, simply press the HOLD button once. HOLD will appear in the display. For as long as HOLD appears in the display the thermostat will not change the set-point temperature unless you adjust it yourself with the up or down arrow buttons.
HONEYWELL DIGITAL THERMOSTAT
If you have a programmable thermostat, you need to look for the 'hold' button. Manually turn the temperature up, or down to the desired setting, then press the 'Hold' button once. The word 'hold', or 'permanent hold', or something similar should appear on the digital thermostat.
For the Honeywell Home app: Select the thermostat, press the Schedule icon, choose Options, then Turn Schedule Off. For the 8000 series thermostat: Press the "Sched" button, select "Edit," choose the days and period to clear, then select Cancel Period to clear the schedule.
To permanently ignore the schedule, press up or down until the desired temperature is displayed. Then, press the Hold button to maintain the new temperature indefinitely. The word Hold will appear on the screen. Press the Run button if you wish to cancel either override and resume the schedule.
By pressing “Hold”, your thermostat will lock in the temperature it's currently at until you change it again. When you are ready for your normal schedule to resume, simply press the “Run” button and return to your typical programming.
Problem: Outdated or Faulty Thermostat
If you try to resolve the issue after checking for default programming, energy-saving programs, old batteries, and even if someone has been changing the temperature in your home it may be time to contact a professional. There may be an issue with old wires or software.
Weak or Old Batteries
One of the most common reasons for a thermostat to reset itself is old batteries. If you haven't changed them recently, replacing them with new batteries is a good first step. Weak batteries can't maintain the necessary power to keep your thermostat running properly, leading to resetting issues.
If the temperature is set to 74°F but the thermometer shows 78°F, you will have to recalibrate the thermostat to account for this 4-degree deviation. Even with older AC units or furnaces, you might have to recalibrate your thermostat from time to time.
To permanently override the schedule, press the up or down buttons until your desired temperature is displayed. Then, press the Hold button to maintain the new temperature indefinitely.
Using the “hold” function on your system means you can suspend the program if you'll be away from home for a while, such as while you're on vacation. This means you can tell your HVAC to stay put at a specific temperature to keep your pipes from freezing in winter but as warm as you want it to be for comfort.
Remove the temporary hold: Once you have found the current temperature setting, you should see an indicator that shows a temporary hold or override. This indicator may be a flame symbol or a clock symbol with a plus or minus sign. Press the appropriate button or use the arrows to remove the temporary hold.
How do I bypass the schedule on the series T6 non connected thermostat? 1 Press + or - to adjust the temperature. 2 Once at the desired setpoint temperature, no further action is needed. The new setpoint temperature will be held until the next scheduled time period begins.
Both features can allow you to save money on your energy bill. For example, the “hold” button can help you set the temperature to an energy-efficient level if you're out of the house for a few hours. On the other hand, the “run” button allows you to ensure that your scheduled temperatures remain energy-efficient.
