This setting allows you to customize air quality and comfort levels based on your preferences.
Setting the Time and Date
To ensure your Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 thermostat operates accurately and schedules heating and cooling cycles effectively, setting the correct time and date is crucial. The thermostat features a user-friendly interface that simplifies the process. Start by locating the “Settings” menu on the touchscreen display.

This section provides a clear and intuitive way to adjust both the time and date. You can use the touchscreen controls or dedicated buttons to modify the values. For instance, you might use up and down arrows to scroll through numbers or tap on specific digits to change them. Remember to confirm your selections to save the changes. After setting the time and date, your Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 thermostat will be ready to operate according to your preferred schedule and optimize your home’s comfort and energy efficiency;
Setting the Fan
The Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 thermostat offers flexible control over your HVAC system’s fan operation. To adjust fan settings, access the “Settings” menu on the thermostat’s touchscreen. Navigate to the “Fan” section, which may be labeled as “Fan Settings” or “Fan Control.” The thermostat typically presents various options for fan operation. These options may include “Auto,” “On,” and “Circulate.” “Auto” mode automatically activates the fan based on the heating or cooling demands of your system. “On” mode keeps the fan running continuously, providing consistent air circulation. “Circulate” mode, often found on heat pump systems, operates the fan independently of the heating or cooling cycle, promoting air circulation even when the system is not actively heating or cooling your home. Choose the fan setting that best suits your preferences and comfort needs. You can adjust the fan setting at any time to suit changing conditions or personal comfort preferences. For example, you might choose “On” during periods of high humidity to improve air circulation and remove moisture from the air, or opt for “Circulate” to ensure consistent airflow even when your system is not actively heating or cooling. By customizing fan settings, you can optimize your home’s comfort and potentially reduce energy consumption.
Programming Your Thermostat
The Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 thermostat empowers you to customize your home’s temperature settings to optimize comfort and energy efficiency.
