Smart Thermostats

A smart thermostat connects your heating controls to Wi-Fi, so the heating can be monitored and scheduled remotely. This page has the Honeywell Y6H920RW5031 kit with the T6R-HW smart thermostat, the Sangamo CHPWIFI and Fort ECSPST Wi-Fi thermostats with receivers, and the Sangamo CHSTAT3CHK wireless kit, which controls the hot water and 2 heating zones from 2 RF programmable thermostats.

Choosing Smart Thermostats

Choose by the heating system the thermostat will control, then by how you want to set it: on the thermostat or in an app.
