Do you have to use the backing plate that comes with it?
@326 he states the QR quote is on bk of the blue hello guide – mine was on the back of the Amazon thermostat. If that helps.
What if I have a hybrid system (both electric and gas)?
I dont have Alexa can i just use the app to operate?
thanks
Btw, I’m going from a dumb thermostat to a smart, unlike the YouTube’s I’ve watched that are going from smart to Alexa Smart thermostat
What if i don’t have a yellow wire…just white, green, red, and blue/C
Thank you so much for posting this, it was extremely helpful!
Did you have to use a C wire adapter?
What are you speeding through and leaving out when you put the different wires through the holes at 1:46 – for those of us who don’t already know how to do this? Or you just stick them through the holes and leave them hanging ?
Cayenne blue is a great color.
Thank you!
I felt like I was doing calculus with the wire reprogramming of a c-wire adapter but i figured it out. Take pictures and write everything down
What happens if your internet goes down?
When you need to open up the Alexa app, and you call it the Amazon app, that’s kind of confusing. Not everybody knows.
Which amazon app
I set up mine,but giving me hot air instead of cool. What is a force air system? I answered no🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I can not find Amazon thermostat in the devices when you add the device can you help me?
When connecting to the thermostat, mine just says: "Unknown Failure." Power's on, but no response from the device.
C for Common or Power
How do you install it if you have a heat pump???
I'm just beginning to get into the smart thermostat. I notice that it has an option for a C-Wire attachment. What exactly is this for? I'm not sure if it's something I need. 🤔
Quick question: I have an orange wire. Is that going to be an issue? Or do I just need to cap it?
Would the features of this thermostat work work as intended without the c wire?
Thanks
Does that work with traditional electric baseboard from Cadet ?
What are those 2 blue (what look like switches) at the bottom of the wiring plate? How do i know if i need use either one or both?
On my old Ritetemp thermastat, there is a horseshoe shaped jumper wire from RH to RC. Do I use it on the amazon thermostat?
I was able to pop my honeywell thermo out and put the amazon one in its place. Exact same internal box. But i did end up switching because the backplate was different and You could see the screws. But if you have a Honeywell check and see if it matches. The Amazon is made by honeywell. Could literally take you 1 minute to change it, counting flipping the fuse
Hey sir what happens if you do all this and get the thermostat installed but the furnace fan or (blower) stays on even when you tell the thermostat to turn off? It just keeps running and running. We had to kill the breaker to HVaC outside just to get it to stop. Thanks!
what happen if my wifi break down and needed to replace the device to bring it up. Is it possible to survive in the winter
So whats the c wire or c-wire adapter they mention?
Hey thanks for the video, the wires I have are red, green, white, and blue. Red=rc, green=c, white=w1, and blue is plugged into pek. What would pek be on the amazon thermostat?
Would this directly replace a honeywell mechanical thermostat?
My system has a ORANGE wire. Not sure where will it go on the amazon thermostat
Any way to remove clicking sound? Wakes me up at night.
I don’t see amazon brand coming under thermostat in Alex app
Any thoughts on using this thermostat with a dual zone system? Specially if you can ask "Alexa raise upstairs temp to 73" for example?
Could you kindly assist me with a matter?
I am interested in purchasing the new Amazon Smart Thermostat – ENERGY STAR certified, designed for DIY installation, and compatible with Alexa.
However, I am unsure about the term "C-wire" and its significance. I would appreciate it if I could share an image of my current thermostat with you for your evaluation.
Could you also please inform me if a "C-wire" is necessary in my situation? I want to express my gratitude for the informative video you've provided.
Thank you sincerely.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g0b-bjCgyemscIUBjwg5YcOD_frg_Ljc/view?usp=sharing
My actual thermostat don't have the blue wire, could that be a porblem?
