"Smart comfort is more than just the perfect temperature - it's understanding and actively managing your air quality, knowing that you won't have a surprise HVAC system failure, and seamlessly saving money and energy," said Pat Tessier, Vice President of Product Development for Honeywell Home and First Alert solutions at Resideo. "The X8S does all that you would expect of a premium thermostat, and so much more - like seeing who's at the door without lifting a finger through our doorbell integration. It's the centerpiece of a smarter, simplified home."
New Honeywell Home X8S Smart Thermostat Features
Backed by over a century of innovation, the Honeywell Home X8S smart thermostat is ideal for customers seeking a sleek, modern design and a smarter, energy-efficient solution. Its key benefits and features include:
-- Convenient video doorbell streaming and intercom: With a
first-of-its-kind video doorbell integration,(2) homeowners can view
live video streams from First Alert(®) or Ring(®) doorbells and speak
to visitors directly from the thermostat.
-- Intuitive customizable touchscreen: The sleek, five-inch touchscreen
enables intuitive operation of temperature programming and customized
idle screens that display information the homeowner wants to see,
including a five-day weather forecast, digital clocks, indoor air
quality (IAQ) information, design themes and color combinations to match
any home décor.
-- Awareness and control of IAQ: In addition to maintaining ideal
temperature, the smart thermostat monitors humidity, tracks volatile
organic compounds and estimates carbon dioxide levels. HVAC installers
can help homeowners maintain optimal IAQ with humidity and ventilation
control to keep the home's air fresh.(3)
-- Proactive HVAC system performance alerts: The X8S smart thermostat
continuously monitors the HVAC system, and a notification is sent to
both the homeowner and their technician(4) when an unusual pattern is
detected - enabling a proactive service that helps prevent minor issues
from escalating into costly system failures or unexpected loss of
comfort.
-- Intelligent energy savings: The thermostat's optional Smart Room Sensors
help prioritize room comfort when at home, Adaptive Recovery technology
learns how long the heating and cooling system takes to reach the
programmed temperature, and auto-away technologies on the First
Alert(®) app adjust the system automatically to deliver energy savings
when away. Honeywell Home smart thermostat users save on average $204
annually when using its recommended scheduling feature consistently.(5)

It is built on the familiar Honeywell Home UWP(®) wall-mounting plate for easy installation.
