Nest smoke and CO alarms can shut off the furnace with the nest thermostat if CO is detected

How do u know which color wire goes to which one??

[godfrey_of_america]

Old thermostat had one wire to RH and one wire to W/B and a jumper from RH to RC (but I don't have air conditioning. The new thermostate has B, O, G, T, W, Not Used, R ad RC. So, where do I put the wires? I'm assuming I would put the RH into the R and the W/B into the W. Is that correct? And I would think I would just not use the jumper, since I don't have air conditioning. Help!

This video actually sucks because it assumes you know which wires are, as the host says, “appropriate.” The colors don’t always correspond between various models nor do all models, especially older ones, use the same wiring pattern. Mine has 7 screws and 4 wire colored while the instruction for my new one uses no screws and shows how to transfer from a 5 screw device.

Wonderful How To video! Explained very well !

She left out the part about all the different wires you may need to run depending on what you had installed before.

I have a question maybe someone can help answer?
Some landlords control the heat directly themselves, not the Tenants in some apartment complexes. What is the reason for this? Is it a deal they have with the energy provider and they receive efficiency credits back? I think most people like the ability to control their own Thermostat. I am aware of the warranty laws that the landlord must follow.

Now let’s see a video without the old existing thermostat?

Going to downgrade the smart Nest thermostat that came with my house to the cheapest nonprogrammable honeywell thermostat I can find. The Nest broke within a year of purchase, first the wifi stopped receiving and then the internal battery stopped holding charge, even after I dismounted it and charged it with the usb. It also had a lot of weird behaviors, even after I turned off the smart features and calendar and stuff. Google told me to just buy a new one. Why would I spend 200$ replacing a piece of garbage that will break in another year when I could just get a simple 20$ one that will probably last forever?

I'm not necessarily adverse to a smart thermostat my Google Nest experience has really made me lose trust in the concept. They are too expensive for how many vectors of failure there are. And I barely ever found myself using it over wifi.

Yeah, it's "easy" if you have the basic knowledge of what to look for in the first place. I just had my old thermostat replaced with a WiFi brand. I utilized the two items in my toolbox that can fix anything from the crack of dawn to a broken heart. A credit card and a phone.

Why would I need to adjust my thermostat while I'm away? Turn it off when you leave. Turn it on when you get home.

[DoVibes]

After watching, i have no information from your video! Important is color code! You just plug and plug without any information. Yours having multi cable. But mine has 2 cables? Color code? Useless video

[Unstopapple]

What if I dont want a straight thermostat? What if I want a gay thermostat?
