WOW I have had a Honeywell RTH9580WF1005 for many years and never has had any issues. On 10/20/23 I had all new a/c heat system installed that came with the Vision Pro 8000. They talked me into installing the VP8000 saying it was a better thermostat. WRONG! This thing keeps showing a sensor error with a message to contact the dealer for thermostat replacement. ?Whats up with this crap. Only 2 days and is gave this error twice now and shuts the system down. I can not find any info online for this error. I have to disconnect the thermostat from the wall and plug it back in to get it to go away. Then it sits at Waiting on system for about 10 minutes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Cliff W, this is not what you should expect. We recommend you having the installer checking the thermostat configuration, it is possible that they configured it for sensors but it doesn't have any. They will be able to verify this and replace the unit in case that it is necessary.
This seems to be a feature of the line of thermostats. You can register and use the app one time before it disconnects. The thermostat is connected via wifi, but that displays continues to remind you to register.
If I could give this expensive lump of plastic a zero stars I would. Here it is only 1 yr after install (with a full HVAC system replacement) and poof it is shutting down, meaning it goes blank on the screen and if it is in a/c cycle the a/c shuts down. And in order for it to start back up you have to take the face place off the wall and I count to 10 and put it back on. And you may have to be done several times to get it to work. As far as I can see there is not a battery to be changed and the wires are connected. And lets not forget to mention the WIFI option is horrible too.... even though it is connected to wifi it still states connect to wifi or update at resideo.com. I HAVE DONE THAT several times. Very frustrating when you pay high price for a product to be this bad.

Hi AMS2313, we are sorry to hear about this. The screen going blank could indicate that your thermostat is not receiving enough/constant voltage. Please check the AC voltage between the R and C wires of have the installer of the thermostat verifying this. We recommend making sure that your thermostat is connected to a 2.4 GHz only Wi-Fi network.

good product but the app and pc controls are very simplistic no ability to set a vacation schedule or temporary schedule from the app you can do it at the thermostat per their own documentation " Use the VisionPRO™ 8000 WiFi Programmable Thermostat to set a temperature schedule for any day of the week. Set the same schedule each day, adjust it on weekends, or customize it by the day. Use vacation and holiday scheduling to help save energy while you're away" why wouldn't the app have the same functionality we have 7 thermostats so vacation scheduling is an event ,walking around 120,000 square foot facility

Just like so many others have mentioned, My VisionPro 8000 won't stay connected to WIFI! I've deleted and reinstalled numerus times, and it's off again right now. Very frustrating!! Way too expensive a product to have these problems! Would never buy again.

I need some help. I have a Vision PRO Series with RedLINK thermostat, but I would like to have a WIFI thermostat to control by APP. Is there any option that you recommend? On my Honeywell thermostat, only 2 wires connect with a honeywell unit and it connects with my furnace. Is there any option for me to change my thermostat and put another compatible wifi using only these two wires?
Great Thermostat with Internet access and control.

I have 8 of the VisionPro 8000 in multiple buildings on the same network in operation and almost never have any issues with any of them. I installed them myself but I am an engineer and understand WiFi well. I have seen no issue with firmware. I stumbled on this review page while trying to see if I can add a dehumidifer to my system and control its operation. Looks like they will allow dehumidifier to turn on when system is on but not regulate dehumidifer based on humidity settings which is what I want. Only need this in one zone so may add an additional device.
