Hey yall
Had to get an all new furnace and heat pump installed. I opted for the Honewell thermostat. I don’t want this thing on my wifi. I don’t need to have it connected right?

Holy shit, you have a nearly 40 year old HVAC system with a heat pump!? I don’t know if I can help you with that, that’s older than me and I’m not familiar with that technology. But yeah, I agree if the old one didn’t need it, the new one certainly shouldn’t either.
I use a “smart” thermostat but all the smarts are in the thermostat itself. I bought a specific Honeywell one because it seemed to be the only one in existence that is able to switch hot/cold automatically without requiring it to be connected to remote servers just to function.
Yeah the heat pump was a 1987 trane and the furnace a 1990 trane. Heat pump died so decided to replace it all.
Yeah, I’m hoping this Honeywell works without internet, if I am forced to use it I guess I will have to limit it’s connection and block everything it uses except the weather.
It just drives me nuts the techs don’t know anything about how it actually works, and they just want you to hook it to your internet…I at least have it on an isolated vlan now
Wait so you’re replacing the 1987 one with a new one?
Yes, the motor just burned up in it last week.
So the entire HVAC system was replaced, furnace and heat pump.
Okay what’s the new one?
I posted the full model earlier,
