In this segment of the video, the YouTube creator demonstrates how to install the Honeywell Home Smart color thermostat, which is a Wi-Fi smart thermostat that can be controlled remotely via a phone or voice commands with Alexa and Google Assistant. They start by turning off the power to the existing HVAC system, followed by removing the existing thermostat and taking a picture of the wiring for reference. The tutorial emphasizes the need for a common wire for installation and highlights the different wires typically found in a traditional HVAC system, such as the fan wire, air conditioning wire, power wire, heating wire, and common wire. Having a common wire makes the system compatible with the Honeywell thermostat.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on replacing the G wire as a common wire and preparing to mount the Honeywell Wi-Fi smart thermostat. The existing thermostat base plate is removed, and the new base plate is shown being mounted on the wall with wiring routed through it. The wires are then inserted into their respective terminals on the base plate according to a previously taken picture of the wiring setup. The process involves securing wires such as the W wire, C wire, G wire, and Y wire into their designated terminals with the help of pliers if needed for a secure fit.

In this segment of the video, the speaker installs the R wire for the heating system into the thermostat terminal. They explain that the R wire would go into the R terminal for a single power system. The speaker then proceeds to insert all the wires (W, Y, G, R, Common) and shows a final shot of the wired connections. They then snap the Honeywell Home Smart thermostat onto the base plate. The final steps include turning the power back on to the HVAC system and setting up the thermostat’s language and system type.

In this segment of the video, the speaker sets up a smart thermostat by first selecting the air conditioning system, followed by the forced air heating system type (gas and oil) and its efficiency level. The speaker then configures the number of cooling and heating stages, connects the thermostat to a Wi-Fi network, and registers for online remote access. The viewer is instructed to note down the MAC address and thermostat code for the next steps, which involve visiting a website (mytotalconnectcomfort.com) to set up a username and password for controlling the thermostat via a smartphone.

In this segment of the video, the main points are creating an account by providing personal information, verifying the email address through a confirmation link, logging in to confirm the account creation, and setting up a location (e.g., Chicago) under the “home” category. The process involves entering notification contacts, verifying location address, registering the device with its MAC address and CRC information, and finally, performing a settings change on the thermostat and verifying it by setting the heat to 69 degrees.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to connect and register a new thermostat to the Total Connect Comfort system. Steps include downloading the Honeywell app, entering login credentials, and gaining control of the thermostat through the app on a mobile device. The presenter shows changing thermostat settings such as temperature, switching between heating and cooling modes, adjusting fan settings, and creating schedules for different temperature settings throughout the day.

In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to adjust settings on the Honeywell Home Wi-Fi smart thermostat using both the smartphone app and the thermostat itself. They show how to change schedules for weekdays or weekends, customize temperature settings, switch between heating and cooling modes, adjust the fan settings, and explore additional settings such as crash logs and analytics. The speaker also mentions features like color themes, equipment status, and station mode preferences. The demonstration emphasizes the ease of making adjustments on the thermostat or through the app.
