HONEYWELL HOME T6R Smart Thermostat
Introduction
The T6R smart thermostat is designed to provide automatic time and temperature control of heating and stored Hot water systems in homes and apartments. It’s compatible with 24-230V on/off such as gas boilers or OpenTherm® appliances such as combi-boilers or heat pumps. Also, works with zone valve applications and is suitable for Sundial S, Y, and W plan stored hot water systems (on/off). Not with electric heating (240V). The T6R is available for table stand or wall mount installations (wireless) and consists of a thermostat and a Receiver box. The solution is designed with the installer in mind and includes a 2-channel Receiver module with mounting options for directly on the wall or on a wall box. Wiring can be from below or from the back by lifting the terminal platform, which makes installation quick and easy. The thermostat has a high contrast PMVA display with dynamic text line and touch screen buttons. The thermostat has a simple programming philosophy to make it easier to install and very user-friendly. The T6 is ideal for consumers who want to control their comfort and hot water remotely and is based on a modern design, which is simple to program and easy to use.

| Optimization (optimal start, optimal stop and delayed start) | Optimal Start: learns how long it takes your system to reach the programmed temperature. It turns on the heating system earlier to make sure it’s comfortable at the scheduled time. Optimal Stop: Saves energy and money by switching off a little bit earlier than the normal programmed time. If the home is up to temperature, it will not notice the effect on the temperature but will show a difference in the fuel bill.
Delayed start: Saves energy by slightly delaying the start of heating depending on the difference between the scheduled temperature and the actual room temperature |
| Clock setting | Change display format (default 24hr) and adjust time and date. When connected to the Internet time and date will be synchronized |
| Low Load Control | If the Receiver box is connected to an OpenTherm appliance this setting is used in the demand control. When an appliance is no longer able to modulate lower the control switches from modulating control to low/off control. |
| Temperature Offset | If the Thermostat is located in a hot/cold location and cannot be moved because of wiring then the measured/ displayed temperature can be adjusted by +/- 1,5 oC. This feature is useful if the homeowner wants the reading to match another appliance temperature display. |
| Binding | Menu to bind the Thermostat and the Receiver box, test the RF signal strength of the radio communication and to clear an existing binding. |
| Reset | Menu to reset the thermostat back to factory default settings, reset the schedule to default settings, reset the Wi-Fi and Homekit settings. |
| Failsafe | When the radio communication between the Thermostat and Receiver box is lost for longer than 1 hour the Receiver box will start to cycle the demand 20% on / 80% off. |
Open Therm Communicate
OpenTherm® is a manufacturer independent communication protocol between modulating appliances (boilers, heat pumps, air heaters and heat interface units) and room thermostats.
Via the OpenTherm® protocol, the Receiver box of the T6 / T6R thermostat constantly communicates with the connected appliance (boiler, heat pump or heat interface unit).
Modulating
The T6/T6R thermostat controls, via the Receiver box, the OpenTherm® communicating appliance modulating. This means that, depending on the heat demand, the burner capacity is adjusted in the appliance. This creates a very accurate control of the room temperature. On top of that, this method of temperature control is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Low Load Control
When the home is at its comfort temperature or if the heat demand of the home is so low that the burner’s capacity is reduced to about 20-30% of the total capacity, the thermostat switches from modulating control to a on/off cycling, the so-called low-load control. During the low-load control, it is continuously calculated what the optimum on and off time of the appliance should be, so that an accurate control of the room temperature is achieved.
Hot water control
Most Combi-boilers have a small internal storage for hot tap water. By keeping a number of liters of hot water, the appliance can supply hot tap water directly without having to heat it up first. With a longer period of none use or absence, for example sleep or holiday, the hot water storage does not have to be kept at a high temperature. The T6/T6R thermostat can provide additional savings here. With the last programmed period (sleeping) the hot water status can easily be switched to a saving level or completely be switched off. With these Combi-boilers, a menu “Hot water during sleep” (on/off) will be available in the installer menu (page 6).
OpenTherm® data
De T6/T6R thermostat offers the ability to view some appliance data via de OpenTherm® communicatie. See table on page 6 which data can be viewed.
Note: Depending on the connected appliance, more or less data is displayed on the T6/T6R thermostat and certain settings of the appliance may or may not be changed from the thermostat. Refer to the instruction manual of the appliance for specific information.

Set Up And Configuration
Binding
The T6R Smart Thermostat wireless thermostat comes bound from the factory and binding Is therefore not required during installation. The binding operation described below is only required if:
- The T6R thermostat or Receiver box is replaced.
- The T6R thermostat or Receiver box has incorrect or no binding data stored.
- The thermostat will indicate the Alert message: NO RECEIVER BOX BINDING
- The receiver box status LED remains green blinking (no communication from thermostat)
- The receiver box status LED does not light up (not bound).
To rebind
Note: When the Receiver box has been bound before first press with a small pin pinhole for approximately 3 seconds to reset the binding. All LEDs will flash amber for a moment.
- Put the Receiver box into binding mode by pressing the Heat button for 3 sec.
- The first LED will flash amber
Enable binding on the thermostat:
- Enter the advanced menu by pressing the button for 5 sec.
- Navigate to BINDING
- Select BIND and the signal will be sent
When the binding is successful:
- The thermostat will show SUCCESS
- First Receiver box status LED will show green
When the binding is NOT successful:
- The thermostat will show FAILED
- Receiver box will exit binding after 3 min.
- RF communication might be too far or is blocked due to wrong location of the
- Thermostat or Receiver box. Try to move closer or re-locate and re-bind again.
Troubleshooting

Try to move thermostat or Receiver box closer or re-locate. Check the power to the thermostat |
| WIFI RADIO ERROR | The Wi-Fi radio of the thermostat is faulty. |
Replace thermostat |
| INTERNAL MEMORY ERROR | The internal memory of the thermostat is faulty. |
Replace thermostat |
| INDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR ERROR | (wired only) The external temperature sensor is not connected or the wiring is faulty. |
Check external sensor wiring and sensor |
| NO COMMUNICATION RECEIVER BOX | The thermostat receives no communication from the thermostat: RF signal is blocked due to the location of the thermostat.
The receiver box is no longer powered. |
RF communication might be too far or is blocked due to the location of the Thermostat or Receiver box. Check the power to the Receiver box |
| RF SIGNAL RECEIVER BOX LOW | There is a weak radio signal from the Receiver box | Try to move the thermostat or Receiver box closer or re-locate. |
| NO RECEIVER BOX | The thermostat is not bound with the Receiver box | Bind or re-bind the Receiver box |
| NO INTERNET | The thermostat has no longer Internet connection. | End user needs to check their Internet connection via router. |
| NO WIFI SIGNAL | Thermostat has no longer a Wi-Fi connection. | End user needs to check their Wi-Fi network of router. |
