There is normally a "minimum cooling set point" setting in the tstat. it doesn't matter if you have wifi or not you have to read the manual and change the setting. Do you really need your house cooler than 69???

SOURCE: fan on but no heat

I never liked the user un-friendliness of the Chromatherm, I would suggest finding a thermostat that you can understand and operate. Yes the Chromatherm is a good one, but so damned hard to figure out. Stay away from thermostats that still use mercury. Good Luck!

SOURCE: Honeywell Digital Thermostat won't click on if temp is below 59

do you live there? if so here are the rules for setting back temperature: do not lower the temperature more than 8 degrees F from the temperature you want it when your there, setting it back for periods of less than eight hours is also somewhat futile. Due to laws of thermo-dynamics the heat required to recover from more extreme setbacks or shorter periods of time exceeds the savings acquired by taking said action. As to your question directly there are no reasons why your thermostat should not function at any setpoint temperature that it is allowed to set to (45 normally being the lowest) if it does not function below 58 degrees it has a failure and should be replaced before it fails completely. Suggest a Robertshaw or Braeburn brand thermostat, Honeywell quality has slipped over the past decade to unacceptable levels. Unless your considering a Hunter in which case buy another Honeywell.

SOURCE: can not get temp below 77

Is the thermostat set up for automatic change over from heat to cool? If so, the heat is probably set for 75, you will need to lower the heat setting in order to Lower the cooling. the stat won't let these settings with in 2 degrees of each other so the heating and cooling don't fight each other.

SOURCE: When this thermostat is in the HOLD position,

If you still have the instructions for the thermostat, then it will show you how to get into the menu and set the swing on the temps. I would try to explain off the top of my head, but its actually quite a bit off numbers to remember. Hope it helps somehow.

Have a honeywell RTH230b and this morning the display on the thermostat is flashing a house with a 4 inside the outline of the house and the heat is at 63 We had it set at 70. This is a 205 model

The Honeywell RTH230B indicates that the system is running the overnight (sleep) program with the 4 inside the house symbol. When the house flashes, the desired temperature has been changed from that programmed temperature (bypass mode). The bypass mode should only run for 2 hours.

The default programming starts the sleep period at 10 P.M. and ends at 6 A.M. On the original program in the thermostat, the temperature target was set to 62 during the heating season and 82 for the air conditioning season.

Since the thermostat was set to bypass, you should check who in your house pressed the Up/Down buttons on the thermostat to change the house temperature. Beyond that, check the start and end times and the programmed temperatures for each scheduled period. Honeywell has the manual for the RTH230B here: https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-1800.pdf .

I hope this helps

(On my own programmable thermostat, we recently found that one period in the week had been left at the default setting. Thus the thermostat was programmed to maintain 60 degrees when we wanted 65 during the day.)

RTH6580WF how do i reset to factory default?

It is actually an extensive process to reset or reconnect with a new wifi setup. To try to explain it would probably be confusing and couldn't give you step by step. Here is the link to the installation instructions that explain it perfectly and visually, https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-2718EF.pdf

We have a new a/c and the system has heat strips. For a/c. we have had the thermostat set on AC at 72degrees. Now that it is getting colder and may need some heat in the house, do we switch the...

If your thermostat has an emergency heat setting this means you have a heat pump system.
Yes you need to set the thermostat to heat for heating the house.
The emergency heat setting should never be used unless your outside unit is not functioning.
The emergency heat setting overides the heat pump (the outside unit will not be energized).
The emergency heat setting will run the auxillary heat (heat strips) only.
When the thermostat is set in the heat position the heat pump will run to heat your house.
If the heat pump can't keep up (extreme cold) then then the auxillary heat will kick in to augment the heat pump until it satisfies the thermostat settings. If your room temperature gets 2 degrees below your thermostat setpoint, your auxillary heat will kick on. Example, say you are going to be gone a couple of days and you turn your heat down to 60 degrees. When you return and it is 60 degrees in your house, you turn the thermostat up to 70 degrees. Since you are turning the temperature up 2 degrees or more (10 degrees in this case) from the 60 degree room temperature then the heat pump will come on and the auxillary heat strips. The unit will continue heating like this until the temperature in the house gets to 69 degrees and the heat strips will turn off and the heat pump will continue to run until the 70 degree setpoint is reached.
Hope this helps.

AC comes on and stays on until you move the setting up to around 90. At times the unit will not cut off no matter what setting you choose. If it cuts off at 90 after manually moving it there, you only have...

If the house is actually cooling, but the thermostat thinks in 90 degrees in there, you definitely need a new thermostat. If the house is actually 90 degrees, the AC SHOULD cycle on and stay on till it reaches the preset temperature. Since it doesn't make sense that you would complain about the AC cycling on at 90 degrees, I can only conclude that you have a faulty thermostat.
