Honeywell Home T6 Pro Smart Thermostat

User sentiment is heavily polarized between power users and casual users. Power users strongly value the T6 Pro's Z-Wave capability for local, cloud-independent control — multiple Reddit commenters specifically chose it over Nest to avoid Google cloud lock-in, with one noting 'Z-wave devices don't have IP addresses and their only contact with the Internet is via the hub.' Home Assistant integration is frequently mentioned as the preferred control layer. However, significant pain points emerge: (1) The Z-Wave interface cannot manage the on-thermostat schedule — you can override or resume it, but changing timing requires touching the device physically. (2) Ring integration is a recurring source of frustration — one user reports Honeywell tech support blaming Ring and anticipating Ring will blame Honeywell back, calling it a 'system that is capable of working' but stuck in vendor limbo. (3) The Ring app is described as 'trash when it comes to thermostats with no scheduling or geofence.' (4) Wiring issues surface: one user's system kept cooling to 71°F when set to 75°F even after pulling the thermostat, suggesting a stuck fan relay or contactor. (5) Privacy/utility control concerns are raised — users reference Texas electric companies adjusting thermostat temps remotely (though another user clarifies this only happens if you opt into a subsidy program). Overall, the T6 Pro is respected by the DIY smart home crowd but requires technical competence and the right hub ecosystem to unlock its value.
