Hi all, does anyone know how to figure out the model of Honeywell. We have just moved into this house and inherited a touchscreen Honeywell thermostat, but we have no idea what the model is. We also can't figure out if it connects to Wi-Fi or not. Surely it does, if it's all touchscreen. What are your thoughts?
