Possible Causes

Unstable internet connection, Router firewall blocking outbound connections, Frequent router reboots, Outdated thermostat firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: This affects remote control but not local HVAC operation.

  • Stabilize internet: Ensure your modem and router are not rebooting frequently. Replace failing network hardware.
  • Check router firewall: Allow outbound connections for the thermostat. Avoid overly restrictive firewall rules or parental controls on the thermostat’s IP.
  • Assign static DHCP lease: In your router, reserve a fixed IP address for the thermostat to reduce connection drops.
  • Update firmware: Use the Honeywell Home app to check for and install firmware updates.
  • Relocate router: Improve Wi‑Fi signal at the thermostat by moving the router or adding an extender.
