A Honeywell smart thermostat is a valuable tool for optimizing your HVAC system’s performance. However, occasional issues can arise. These digital thermostats often display error codes that offer insights into the problem. Below are some of the common error codes you might encounter on your Honeywell smart thermostat, along with guidance on how to address them.

- Power cycle the router.
- Re-run the initial setup process with your thermostat to ensure DHCP is properly delivered.
