Great product
Bought two, very happy with them and all the features. I like that you can integrate it with ring door cam, however I am not a fan of ring due to needless monthly subscriptions. Wish it worked with eufy door cam instead

Packed with smart features
I have not installed it yet, but I already feel confident I made the right choice with the Honeywell Home X8S Smart Thermostat. After weeks of comparing options, this one stood out for its blend of advanced tech and practical energy-saving features. If you want something that does more than basic heating and cooling, this thermostat covers a lot of ground.What really impressed me is that it feels more like a smart home hub than just a thermostat. It can actually display a live feed from your video doorbell (compatible with Ring and First Alert VX1), lets you talk to visitors, and even helps monitor indoor air quality. That is a massive upgrade coming from my older, basic thermostat.Here is what I am most excited about:+ Video doorbell integration: See and talk to whoever is at the door right from the thermostat display, no phone needed.+ Customizable 5-inch display: Clean, modern, and customizable so it fits your space visually.+ Air quality and humidity monitoring: Helps maintain cleaner, fresher indoor air with compatible equipment.+ Presence detection: Adjusts comfort settings based on whether someone is home, which should help reduce energy waste.+ Voice and app control: Works with Alexa, Google, Apple Home, and is Matter certified, so it should stay compatible long term.+ ENERGY STAR certified: A solid bonus for potential rebates and more efficient energy use.+ Remote control via the First Alert app: Great for travel or adjusting the temp before getting home.A few things to keep in mind:- You will need WiFi and a standard router setup.- It is not compatible with 120-240V baseboard heating systems.- Some features may require additional Honeywell accessories or sensors.Who it is for:Anyone who wants to upgrade to a smarter, more connected home setup, especially if you already use Ring or First Alert products. It is also a great fit if you care about indoor air quality or want stronger app and voice control.My final thoughts:Even before installing it, it is clear this thing is going to be a serious upgrade from my old thermostat. It feels like having comfort control, smart home integration, and a bit of home security awareness all in one sleek device. If you are on the fence and want something more advanced than the usual smart thermostats, this one looks very promising.
