Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat RCHT9510WFW2001
The Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat is a WiFi-enabled programmable thermostat designed to control compatible home heating and cooling systems. It supports wireless Smart Room Sensors that measure temperature, humidity, and motion in different rooms, allowing the thermostat to manage comfort according to selected rooms or detected occupancy.
The T9 Smart Thermostat features a touchscreen display, indoor temperature and humidity readings, programmable heating and cooling schedules, smartphone control, and automatic heating and cooling changeover. Through the Resideo app, temperature settings and schedules can be managed remotely.
A key feature of the T9 is room priority control. Instead of relying only on the temperature measured at the thermostat, the system can use measurements from selected Smart Room Sensors. Rooms can be selected manually or prioritized automatically when motion is detected.
The thermostat supports up to 20 wireless indoor sensors. These sensors communicate directly with the thermostat through Honeywell Home RedLINK technology and provide temperature, humidity, and occupancy information.The T9 also supports location-based temperature control through geofencing, time-based programming, Smart Scheduling, Adaptive Intelligent Recovery, Apple HomeKit, maintenance reminders, and system alerts.
The thermostat operates using 24 VAC power supplied by the HVAC transformer through a C-wire. The wireless Smart Room Sensors use two AAA alkaline batteries each.

Main Features of the T9 Smart Thermostat
Room Priority Control
The thermostat can use the temperature of selected rooms rather than relying only on the temperature at the thermostat itself.
This allows different rooms to contribute to the temperature used for heating and cooling decisions.
Motion-Based Room Selection
Compatible Smart Room Sensors detect activity using passive infrared motion detection.
When Active Rooms priority is selected, rooms with detected motion contribute to the temperature average.
Remote Temperature Control
The Resideo app allows thermostat settings to be changed using a smartphone or tablet.
Flexible Scheduling
The thermostat supports time-based schedules, geofencing, Smart Scheduling, and manual operation without a schedule.
Smart Alerts
The thermostat can provide warnings about extreme indoor temperatures, wireless sensor problems, WiFi connection issues, and maintenance requirements.

Understanding Smart Room Sensor Priority
Smart Room Sensors allow the T9 thermostat to control temperature using measurements from different rooms.
Two room priority arrangements are available:
- Selected Rooms.
- Active Rooms.
Selected Rooms
Selected Rooms allows specific rooms to be chosen manually.
The thermostat calculates an average temperature using the selected rooms.
Rooms that are not selected do not contribute to the average.
For example, if bedroom and living room sensors are selected, their temperature readings contribute to the effective indoor temperature.
Active Rooms
Active Rooms uses motion detection to determine which rooms should contribute to the temperature average.
When motion is detected in a room, that room becomes active.
The thermostat then includes its temperature reading in the calculated average.
Rooms without detected activity are excluded.
Comparing Priority Modes
| Priority Mode | How Rooms Are Selected |
| Selected Rooms | Rooms are chosen manually |
| Active Rooms | Rooms are selected according to motion detection |
When No Active Room Detects Motion
If Active Rooms priority is enabled but no wireless sensor detects motion, the thermostat uses its own built-in temperature sensor.
The remote sensors are excluded until active room information becomes available.
Motion Detection Timing
Smart Room Sensors use a dynamic occupancy algorithm.
If someone briefly walks through a room, the sensor normally treats that room as occupied for approximately 10 minutes.
If someone remains in a room longer, the occupancy timeout increases automatically.
Multiple Occupied Rooms
When multiple rooms detect motion, their temperature measurements are averaged.
The thermostat uses that average as the effective indoor temperature for heating and cooling control.
Selecting the System Mode
The T9 supports heating, cooling, automatic changeover, and emergency heating where compatible equipment is configured.
How to Change the System Mode

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the Honeywell T9 Smart Thermostat need a C-wire?
Yes. The T9 thermostat requires 24 VAC power supplied through the HVAC transformer and C-wire.
The thermostat does not use batteries.
The wireless Smart Room Sensors use two AAA alkaline batteries each.
2. How many Smart Room Sensors can connect to the T9?
The T9 supports up to 20 wireless Smart Room Sensors.
These sensors measure temperature, humidity, and motion and communicate with the thermostat through Honeywell Home RedLINK technology.
3. How does Honeywell T9 room priority work?
The thermostat supports Selected Rooms and Active Rooms priority.
Selected Rooms uses the average temperature from manually chosen sensors.
Active Rooms uses sensors in rooms where motion has been detected.
When no motion is detected in any active room, the thermostat uses its own built-in temperature sensor.
4. How is a Smart Room Sensor paired with the T9 thermostat?
Open Menu on the thermostat, select Devices and Sensors, and choose Add.
Follow the on-screen instructions to pair and name the wireless sensor.
If the sensor was previously connected to another T9, it must first be removed from that thermostat.
