Honeywell Home X8S WiFi Smart Thermostat with Video Doorbell Compatibility & IAQ Control

Overview

The Honeywell Home X8S is a WiFi smart thermostat that blends comfort, convenience, and energy awareness into one modern device. The 5 inch touchscreen is bright and responsive, with color and idle screen style options to match your room mood. It pairs with First Alert VX1 and Ring video doorbells so you can see and speak to visitors from the thermostat, with doorbells sold separately. Coupled with indoor air quality IAQ monitoring and control, the X8S helps you manage humidity and ventilation for a breathing space that feels fresher. Remote control from the First Alert app makes it possible to adjust settings while you are away, and the thermostat fits neatly into a larger smart home ecosystem through Matter certification and compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home.

Designed with real world homes in mind, the X8S scales with your HVAC system. It supports up to three heat and two cool heat pump configurations with electric backup, or two heat and two cool conventional systems, plus options for hot water heat and forced air. If your current setup lacks a C wire, a voucher for a Honeywell Home C-Wire Adapter is included to simplify wiring and installation. This flexibility makes it easier to upgrade without a full system change while energy program participation can bring rebates or savings opportunities.
