Geofencing

Your new T6/T6R Smart Thermostat supports location-based scheduling which can intelligently override the time-based schedule. If your schedule varies or you regularly depart and return at different times, the Thermostat can automatically adjust to your life. No rigid scheduling. No learning period. Just comfort when you’re home and savings when you’re away.
When you enable the geofence schedule in the Honeywell Home App, it intelligently controls your heating based on whether you are home or away.

To learn more about configuring the geofence schedule, see ‘Create New Schedule’ menu in your Honeywell Home App.
To learn more about how smart geofencing can work for you and how it fits to your busy lifestyle, go to getconnected.honeywellhome.com

Heating optimisation functions

Your T6/T6R Smart Thermostat has several heating optimisation functions. These functions aim to save energy while making you as comfortable as possible.
Configure these options via the OPTIMISE menu on your Thermostat.

Optimum Start
Over time, the Thermostat learns how long it takes your system to reach the temperature you want. It turns on the heating or cooling system earlier to make sure you’re comfortable at the time you expect.
The Thermostat displays when it turns the system on early.
Optimum Stop
Saves energy and money by switching off a little bit earlier than the normal programmed time. If your home is up to temperature, you will not notice the effect on the temperature, but you will see a difference in your fuel bill.
Delayed Start
Saves energy by slightly delaying the start of heating depending on the difference between the programmed temperature and the actual room temperature.
