1. Introduction: Secure Honeywell Smart Thermostat

Locking your Honeywell Thermostat is a good way to keep guests or children from changing your thermostat’s settings while still letting you and your family adjust your home’s temperature within the range you’ve set. Unless someone has the four-digit PIN that you create when locking your Honeywell Thermostat, they won’t be able to unlock the thermostat or change any of the thermostat’s settings.
