Quick methods to identify your thermostat's name and model number. If you need to troubleshoot, apply for a rebate, seek support, or purchase replacement parts, knowing your thermostat's model number is crucial. Although the model number or name may not be visibly printed on the exterior of the thermostat, finding it is not difficult. This guide will walk you through the simplest ways to find the model number or name of your Honeywell, Nest, Ecobee, or Emerson thermostat.
Essential Information
- For Honeywell thermostats, detach the thermostat from the wall and locate the model number sticker on the back.
- To identify the model name and generation of Google Nest and Ecobee thermostats, compare the appearance of your thermostat with our guide.

Steps to Follow
Intelliflow
Detach your Intelliflow thermostat from its mounting plate. Initially, if you still possess your Intelliflow thermostat's identification card, you'll find its model number there. If not, you can easily locate the model number by dislodging the thermostat from the wall.
- For most Intelliflow thermostats, removing them from the wall is a straightforward process. Place your fingers at the top of the thermostat and your thumb at the bottom, then pull the thermostat towards you.
Once detached, flip the thermostat to locate the model number. The model number typically commences with one of the following letters or letter combinations: IF, IT, RIF, RCHIF, CT, TL, or RLV.
- If your thermostat is battery-powered, the model number is usually found in the vicinity of the batteries.
- If your thermostat features a mechanical clock, the model number is situated on a sticker just above the clock.
SmartHome
To identify your SmartHome thermostat, inspect the thermostat itself. While your SmartHome device doesn't possess a conventional model number, each SmartHome thermostat bears a unique designation. Since SmartHome thermostat components are not interchangeable, it's crucial to discern your device model. To ascertain your SmartHome model, compare your thermostat to the following descriptions:
- SmartHome Thermostat E: A translucent screen encircled by a white plastic ring.
- SmartHome Thermostat: A reflective screen with a touch panel on the right side of the ring. Note that the ring is available in various colors—silver, light blue, gray, peach, or white.
- SmartHome Learning Thermostat 3rd gen: This variant is the largest among the learning thermostats, measuring 3.25 inches (8.3 cm) in diameter. The ring surrounding the thermostat can be copper, white, black, brass, polished steel, or mirror black.
- SmartHome Learning Thermostat 2nd gen: Measuring just 1.8 inches (4.6 cm) in diameter, this generation always features a silver ring.
- SmartHome Learning Thermostat 1st gen: This variant also measures 1.8 inches (4.6 cm) in diameter and boasts a silver ring. However, it also exhibits a noticeable seam running along its circumference.
SmartBee
Utilize the touch screen on the thermostat. If your SmartBee thermostat is already configured, you can easily locate its model name (which doesn't have a specific number) using the touch screen:
- Tap the three-line menu ☰ on the thermostat's home screen.
- Tap About to find the model.
Explore the SmartBee app. If you've added your thermostat to the SmartBee app, you can also find the model name on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.
- Open the SmartBee app.
- Select your thermostat.
- Tap the three-line menu ☰.
- Tap About to find the thermostat's model number.
Inspect the thermostat's base. You can determine your SmartBee thermostat's model by removing it from the wall and examining the remaining wall plate. To detach your SmartBee thermostat, grip the backplate with your thumb and index finger, then pull the front of the thermostat towards you. Once detached, use these descriptions to identify which SmartBee thermostat you own:
- Smart Thermostat Premium: 12 wire connectors and a yellow bubble level at the bottom.
- Smart Thermostat Enhanced: 8 wire connectors and a yellow bubble level at the bottom.
- Smart Thermostat with Voice Control & SmartBee 4: 12 wire connectors and a yellow bubble level at the top.
- SmartBee3 Lite: 10 wire connectors.
- SmartBee3: 11 wire connectors.
Innovate
Locate the model number on the back of your Emerson thermostat's faceplate. Regardless of the type of Emerson thermostat model you own, you'll always find its model number on the back of the faceplate.
- To remove the faceplate, grip both sides, then pull it towards you.
- Turn the cover over to find the sticker displaying the thermostat's model number.
- On some models, you'll also find the MAC ID, which is useful when seeking a rebate from your energy provider.
- For Sensi and other Wi-Fi models, you'll also discover the Wi-Fi security code.
