Resideo Launches Honeywell Home X8S Smart Thermostat

Resideo Technologies has launched the Honeywell Home X8S smart thermostat. The Honeywell Home X8S smart thermostat streams live video from compatible doorbells on the largest touchscreen in its class. It offers a combination of precision sensing and control, an intuitive touchscreen interface, and a premium design, delivering the brand’s smartest thermostat yet.

Key benefits and features include:

Convenient video doorbell streaming and intercom: Homeowners can view live video streams from First Alert or Ring doorbells and speak to visitors directly from the thermostat.
Intuitive customizable touchscreen: The 5-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.
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 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.

Compatibility and Smart Home Integration

The Honeywell Home X8S smart thermostat, available in bold black or classic white models, supports a wide range of HVAC system configurations and has dual-band Wi-Fi compatibility. It is built on the familiar Honeywell Home UWP wall-mounting plate for easy installation. Homeowners can manage set points and schedules on the thermostat or the First Alert app. The X8S smart thermostat is Matter certified and compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home for easy voice control.
