Your WiFi-connected phone or tablet can support your home comfort. Make the most of your thermostat's features, including options to view and change settings for schedules, system fans, even humidifier and dehumidifier settings.

Whether you left the house in winter and forgot to set the heat back or realized you meant to cool it down before you arrived home during summer, it's not too late. View and change temperature settings from anywhere using your phone or tablet.

The original driver uses an old, perhaps obsolete, certainly deprecated, unpublished Honeywell Cloud API. The Honeywell server(s) reject automated logins regularly. The solution seems to be "don't hit the login server too rapidly". Adding multiple copies of the original driver would certainly allow logins virtually on top of each other, causing more rejects than a single thermostat would encounter.

The goal of converting the original driver to Parent / Child was to take advantage of a single code thread for any number of child thermostats. Collisions in the login path are avoided. There's no mechanism to prevent Honeywell from rejecting connections, but we don't have to hammer the connection either.

A significant upgrade in this driver is the accumulation of changes into one message to Honeywell. If you want to change a temperature setpoint by 4 degrees, for example, you can click the button 4 times and after 1.6 seconds of no more clicks, the the message is sent.

@csteele - I just installed the driver and it looks like it is working well. A quick question for you - I currently have the driver set for 5 minute updates (see below). If I don't see and entry for "thermostatOperatingState" or "fanOperatingState", does that mean that there is no change in the fan/thermostat status?

Looking at the log entries above, can I assume that at 6:27PM, the thermostat and fan were idle. Then they both turned on at 6:37 and turned off at 6:52. I know the status at the times may not be exact, but should be correct to within 5 minutes?

Thanks - I'm just trying to get a rough idea of how long/when the AC is running and plot it against the power draw from my Tesla Solar panels/battery/grid. If I miss a quick cycle, I don't think it will matter much.

I have my refresh set at 5 minutes, but it seems to be scheduling the refresh every 20 minutes? It should have updated at 8:03 PM, but there was no change. I thought it could be because Honeywell rejected the connection, but the next scheduled run is exactly 20 minutes after the last update and the time I took the screenshot was 8:06 PM

what's generating that error? HPM? "Manifest" is a word I instantly associate with HPM. "betaLocation" is another. I'm not intending that there be any "beta" for that driver, but I'll look at the HMP manifest to see if there's a typo.

It's not hard to recover from, if you accidentally delete the Outdoor children, the next poll will recreate them BUT any automation you had will be broken. If you accidentally delete the whole thermostat (includes the Outdoor children as well) just add a new thermostat and re-select the 6 options.

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: user_driver_csteele_Honeywell_Thermo_Parent_988.refresh() is applicable for argument types: (com.hubitat.app.ChildDeviceWrapper, java.lang.Boolean) values: [Guest Room Thermostat, true] Possible solutions: every() on line 852 (method refreshFromRunin)

Everything seems to be working correctly, so not sure if this is a "normal" error or something to be concerned about. Below is a screenshot of the log entries related to the thermostats around this time

When integrating a Honeywell WiFi thermostat into your ClareHome project, no extra connections are necessary. Install the thermostat according to the Honeywell documentation, register the thermostat on the Honeywell portal, enable auto mode in the thermostat, and then connect it to the network using IP.

A qualified HVAC installation technician should install the Honeywell thermostat. Refer to the documentation that came with the thermostat for detailed installation instructions. Clare Controls does not assume any responsibility for damages caused by improper installation or connection to the data network.

If you have a Con Edison electric account and central air conditioning, a Wi-Fi network, and an eligible smart thermostat, you may qualify for an $85 rebate through your thermostat's manufacturer, either Nest, Honeywell Total Connect Comfort, Honeywell Home, Emerson Sensi or Amazon.

The summer adjustment periods for electric participants will typically last no longer than four hours (limited to four hours for Nest customers) and would likely take place between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. on weekdays.

Energy Star Wi-Fi Programmable Touchscreen Alexa Read
I have two of these in my home. However they do not work with Resideo. They use a platform/APP/website called My Total Connect Comfort. Honeywell Home - My Total Connect Comfort I can talk to them via Alexa - but would like to have a direct link via Homey Pro. Anyone aware of any connections here?

I have the same issue. The Homey Honeywell apps do not support the 9600 series thermostats. If using Home Assistant, you can import the devices thru one of the Home Assistant apps. Appears to function OK but at times connections need refreshing. Would hope the Honeywell author could add thermostats other than the T50.


A single license will unlock as many instances of the driver as needed in your project. Cloud Driver is required to activate all DriverCentral licenses and trials. To find out more about drivercentral features click here. Additionally, here is a quick video that demonstrates the licensing process.


All Cinegration Development drivers for Control4 come with a 7-day trial. Simply add the DriverCentral licensing driver along with this driver and you can fully test the driver before purchasing. Including Cinegration Development drivers in your showroom project will give you unlimited use without purchase.

How is this unit controlled?
This unit is controlled via the cloud through the Total Connect Comfort username used when setting up the thermostat.

Where do I register my Honeywell TCC Hardware?
To register the hardware, go to: mytotalconnectcomfort.com/

Do you offer showroom discounts?
All Cinegration Development drivers support the DriverCentral showroom project.

Can I try this driver out before buying it?
All Cinegration Development drivers for Control4 come with a 7-day trial. Simply add the DriverCentral licensing driver along with this driver and you can fully test the driver before purchasing.

We work full-time on these drivers and always struggle to find the right price to make people happy and to make the time spent on them worthwhile. We are always open to suggestions, what would you suggest the price be?

It would be ignorant for me to give a price since I don't have any idea of the costs or potential revenues you plan on trying to make from this driver. I have mentioned before that I think Control4 should be making more drivers in house and/or contracting out companies to make them and then include them with the system

Hi, I have bought the Honeywell thermostat driver from Houselogix and it is not working very well. Once in a while it stops working or reporting weird temperatures. I wanted to know how Cinegration's driver is better and hopefully move drivers because I can't seem to get in touch with houselogix and cannot find the driver in their website anymore for updates, and I have heard Cinegration drivers have been better for other stuff as well.
