What is Vacation Mode?

Vacation mode is a feature in Honeywell thermostats that allows you to set a specific temperature range for an extended period of time while you’re away from home. This feature is useful when you’re going on vacation or leaving your home for an extended period of time.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Set Your Honeywell Thermostat to Vacation Mode

Before setting your thermostat to vacation mode, it’s important to ensure that the temperature settings are appropriate for the season. For example, during winter, it’s recommended that you keep the temperature at 55°F (12°C) or higher. During summer, it’s suggested that you keep it at 85°F (29°C) or lower.

Once you have determined the appropriate temperature range for your home during your absence, follow these steps:

Step 1: Access Your Thermostat Menu

Locate and press the “Menu” button on your Honeywell thermostat. This will take you to the main menu.

Step 2: Select “Vacation” Mode

Using the up and down arrows on your thermostat, scroll down until you find “Vacation” mode. Press “Select.”

Step 3: Set Your Vacation Temperature

Using the up and down arrows again, adjust the temperature range according to your desired settings. Ensure that the temperature range falls within the recommended range for the season.

Step 4: Set Your Return Date

Using the arrows, select the date you plan to return home and press “Select.” This will ensure that your thermostat returns to its regular temperature settings on the day you return.

Step 5: Confirm Your Settings

Once you have set your desired temperature range and return date, press “Done” to confirm your settings. Your thermostat is now set to vacation mode.

Conclusion

Setting your Honeywell thermostat to vacation mode is an important step in saving energy and money while you’re away from home.
