You're a lifesaver.... you are quite correct that most people will not want to spend the 1/2 hour (at least) to get something people got more easily 50 years ago. You cannot figure out this device on your own, which means it is poorly designed. The manual, as well as the wiring instructions, is a nightmare. Only youtube videos like this one saved the day!
Thanks for posting this. I hated this thermostat, but this is what I wanted one temperature tobset and forget, not to jump through hoops trying to figure out how to create a crazy schedule
Thank you so much. The manual is horrible, several of us try to figure this out. However, watched your videos and within seconds was able to set it up and watch the other videos that help with that override. Etc, thank you so very much.
Very much appreciated. Returned from a trip exhausted and late, must've hit the wrong button and couldn't figure out how to get out of sleep mode. Turned the unit off, went to sleep, and thankfully found your video this morning.
Thank You!!! I’m staying with my Mom for a week while she had surgery and could not figure this out. I finally have cool air blowing. I was about to go purchase a fan. 😊
@@ghostfacejoel Ours was the switch wasn’t flipped to cool all the way, it looked like it from sliding it over but when I turned off and back on, it let me do the manual override on temperature. It is staying 70 degrees overnight and when I finally got the temperature to turn the unit on, it was 82 degrees. Now hopefully we can keep it 74 degrees now.
Who was the genius, That designs a thermostat every time you change something it automatically default to a program mode. I would never recommend this thermostat through anyone it is horrible. Older people just don't want this complication. Firing a person is always the last thing you should do, however this person who designed this should be fired. Honestly this is horrible design. Well never buy another Honeywell product
Thank you. Additionally, I leave my thermostat in the on position to avoid all of the resetting I have go through when the unit is put in off position. Unfortunately, when the batteries need to be changed the unit has to be reset, which is not a fun thing to do. To keep the unit from turning on I manually set the temporary setting higher ( in regards to cooling, vice versa when heating). Your video does explain the manual overide clearly. Honeywell ought to be renamed to Honeyawful.
My apartment is so f cold bro. Got the one that only got off and heat option. Been pressing buttons and idk wtf I’m pressing..this office people came over yesterday but still!! Sh** still the same. Like I and my son be freezing at night. Shit ain’t cool
I am so freaking mad that i could break the thermostat, for 2 months weve been in the sweltering hot and the thermostat isnt working. When I push hold it instantly goes bot to 87 but i want it to 59.
i set up my schedule bt once i’m on the menu after setting it up it says 80* then i use the arrow to move it up and it says 70? that means the temperature it’s at 70 or 80? also it’s around the time we leave
Hello! i use it like you say but the heat function doesnt work at all. The heater can be on for hours and you dont get the apartment cozy... Just cold air... what possible be wrong with this? Thank you....
Thank you. I just wanted to set the thing to one temperature and forget about it. I work from home so all the settings for when you leave and when you came back are useless for me.
Wired this Thermostat exactly how it showed and the same as my old one. then turn on the power and it blowed the 3 amp fuse in the furnace. I double checked, then triple checked all the wiring installed a new fuse, turn on the power and pop another fuse. Turn off the power, Unhooked this POS installed the old thermostat, replaced the fuse, turn the power on and it works with the old thermostat ( has a issue with battery connectors ). I have installed quite a few thermostats and never had one Fuses are not cheap, and I don't really want to waste another on this POS Honeywell Thermostat. I liked the added features the new one has, but if it only blows fuses then it won't do a bit of F#@$ing good.
At an air bnb where they have it set to a bs schedule and can't override it to cool this oven off! I tried setting it to 68 and pushed hold and it won't even click on. It's set at some un godly temp for sleep and even hotter to wake 😡 I just want some cold air!
On aTH4210 how do I get into "settings" and then "preferences" then "smart response technology" to turn "recovery mode" off (and to turn off "energy saving mode" ? Thanks
Same. I have been messing with this thing so much. For me, it's that stupid set schedule. The wake, leave, return, sleep... Even if you push hold for your desired temperature to override... it would not go on. I changed the "wake" time and it went on to heat until the hold temperature. It is so damn stupid. There should be an option to turn off the schedule completely.
So I have a Honeywell home rth221b programmable thermostat and I put it on my wall and nothing is showing up but the fan is turned on are my wires messed up anyone have any thoughts?
I have no idea what’s wrong with mine I tried this and it won’t turn on I even hiked it up to the highest temp and it still won’t turn on 😭 we’re freezing man
Seriously another click bait video dont watch this video turn switch to off take batteries out put them in backwards for 10 seconds and then put them in proper way turn switch to heater and its reset this video is just a click bait

Thank you so much!! I just wanted one temperature set point instead of timed settings. This has helped greatly!
That’s what I want but cannot figure it out!!
I can't thank you enough for making it simple and to the point. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to post this.

Everyone have problem with this thermostat
I stg…I haven’t met a single person who never had a problem with it lol
This thermostat is evil and complicated
Yes my neighbor does
I SWEAR THIS THING DOES NOT WORK
Preach man, I hate this thing
It’s hot in my house right now and I definitely programmed it like 3 times
@@delltoid5980 I went and upgraded to a Sensi has been flawless lol. I hate that dang thermostat
Rs bro it says it’s cooling to 60 degrees yet my house is at 80
Same here it’s 114 today in my city in Cali
Thank You!!! I’m staying with my Mom for a week while she had surgery and could not figure this out. I finally have cool air blowing. I was about to go purchase a fan. 😊

This is the worst thermostat I’ve ever experienced I’m becoming depressed!!! Maintenance came out twice and it’s just terrible.
It's cheap
I tried the Hold option and it worked. Thanks for the video.
"This thermostat is perfect for me because I like having a different temperature every 15 minutes" - said nobody ever
Best explanation of RUclips, Thanks
Dude, you rock 🤘🏾 Worked like a charm.

Help. I hit the override and now it clicks like it's gonna turn on but it doesn't
Mine stay at 76 doesn't go up,,its frustrating 😢
Mine to 😢

Jesus Christ how do enjoy the summer living in a cold box. Might as well b in a morgue at that point
ME TOO!!!
So did this help or you got a new one?
I got a rth221b1039, it has no days on it. It only has Wake, Leave, Return, and Sleep.
I can’t get it to temporary
Thank you. I’m house sitting and I was freezing
I did this but it's not heating at all. It has been at 66 degrees for an hr while i am trying to warm up my house. Has only gone up and down 1 degree
I have the same problem, useless pile of junk buying another one that just sets to heat or cold thats all I want not any schedule shit.
I’m having the same issue 🤦🏽♀️ 62 degrees in my house and -4 outside. All the added settings for away and home are stupid. I just wanna be warm 😫
Mine is stuck on 54°f and its-11°f outside
@@annealmasni3954 😳🥶
Fighting with this POS now.. doesn't seem to want to go above 69. -20°F at night
Does it kick on and off at your desired temp when you do a permanent override or does it just keep running?
Thanks a million! 💞
What is the difference in RTH 20410B compared to the other ones I went with that style cause it was most expensive, but they all look the same
i set up my schedule bt once i’m on the menu after setting it up it says 80* then i use the arrow to move it up and it says 70? that means the temperature it’s at 70 or 80? also it’s around the time we leave
Awesome quick video👍🏼
Very easy to follow and your directions are great!
Hello! i use it like you say but the heat function doesnt work at all. The heater can be on for hours and you dont get the apartment cozy... Just cold air... what possible be wrong with this? Thank you....
If it's just blowing out cold air make sure the fan opt-in is on auto and not set to on.
Best video I hate programming stuff
I really only want one setting. I've tried n it goes back to 85 n it so hot. But will try this again.
HOW DO U DO THIS MANUALLY??? I WANT TO SET MY OWN TEMP!! DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS WITHOUT "PROGRAMMING" IT ON A SCHEDULE??
When you figure that out, please send smoke signals for the rest of us.
Thank you. I just wanted to set the thing to one temperature and forget about it. I work from home so all the settings for when you leave and when you came back are useless for me.

I had the exact same experience, and had to get a bit creative with the wiring, but eventually got it.
But will it ever get to desired temperature. Mine will cool to 89 and then go back to 95
At an air bnb where they have it set to a bs schedule and can't override it to cool this oven off! I tried setting it to 68 and pushed hold and it won't even click on. It's set at some un godly temp for sleep and even hotter to wake 😡 I just want some cold air!
This thermostat is garbage
Yes it is. It's bottom-of-the-barrel junk. It's the cheapest crap ever.
Any way to turn on the furnance fan in summer to circulate the air abit? I'm turning the fan "ON" but nothing happens
Thank có for the comments I thought I was dumb
I hate this system. Regret replacing my old crap at least it gave me heat
The video starts at 2:01
Thank you.
THANK YOU! 🤦🏾♀️
On aTH4210 how do I get into "settings" and then "preferences" then "smart response technology" to turn "recovery mode" off (and to turn off "energy saving mode" ? Thanks
Does auto has to be on auto or ON??
My thermostat screen is off but heating still running.why?
Is there a way to lock the temperature so no one can change it?
Thanks
How do you change it to Celsius?
i did this on my house and that flashing Heat On is not on my and the house is cold 🥶

Even if you push hold for your desired temperature to override... it would not go on. I changed the "wake" time and it went on to heat until the hold temperature. It is so damn stupid.

How to change battery ?
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET IT BACK TO farenheight
So I have a Honeywell home rth221b programmable thermostat and I put it on my wall and nothing is showing up but the fan is turned on are my wires messed up anyone have any thoughts?
Does anyone know if turning it off will reset it to start over I hv it set on 69 it’s registered when sitting to 63 just sitting - I hit hold
But somehow this POS Might be programmed at 63 ? Thought he said hit run to start over? Will try turning off and just start with 69 hold -
This termostato is difficult to use
I don’t know why it has to be difficult! I’m sitting in a freezing house right now because I literally have to take a learning course to use it 🤦🏽♀️
@@sweett4791same 🥲🥲🥲 i hate this honeywell thermostat w my lifeeee
Why do we have to follow a schedule why we cant control when we want air or heat
I have no idea what’s wrong with mine I tried this and it won’t turn on I even hiked it up to the highest temp and it still won’t turn on 😭 we’re freezing man
I did this for AC, set it at 68, but it eont go below 75
🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for the instruction that doesnt work, even though it us exactly loke mine.
Never mind, skip to 2:05…JC this guy 😅
This thermostat is trash
I've done this exactly as instructed, 3 times. It hasn't worked for me.
Mine does not hold it says hold b7t the temperature doesn’t move lol
All i want is 68 the rest of my life. Why do fucking hard?
This came in so clutch soneone playibg with the thermostat ehen im not home in hot Georgia triple digit day today to 🥵
Just moved into my house and unfortunately have this dated thing 😒
Now it's flashing "Leave" wtf do i have a ghost?!
Skips to 45 seconds y’all…
This does not work. Maybe it works on a brand new unit but it surely doesn't work on my thermostat.
Mine reverts to the factory schedule after a day.
The temporary temperature only stays till the next set schedule. Go watch ( The Amateur’s Amateur) video on how to set it.
Won't let me hold
Make sure you are in heat or cool. And setup menu settings are configured properly. I have another video going over that
Hurry up l hate prolonging
it does not work
It’s not working…it’s not cooling down..and shuts off
Worse thermostat ever!
Not working heat not coming on, tried and tried again another pile of junk thermostat
"can u help me with this"
I hate this thing too
Nope this thing is junk
Thermostat very confused
Why do these thermostats suck so bad???
THIS THERMOSTAT SUCKS
Seriously another click bait video dont watch this video turn switch to off take batteries out put them in backwards for 10 seconds and then put them in proper way turn switch to heater and its reset this video is just a click bait
This video will not help you
Horrible thermostat. It's supposed to be a simpler design, but it's not user friendly
Hate it
Who invented this crap ..
Nope 👎
Garbage
NOT the video, I hope you mean. The thermostat, yes, it is thoughtlessly designed and hopelessly complicated.
