Before purchasing, check to see if this thermostat is compatible with your home and to determine if your home needs a C-wire power adapter.
Many of the best smart thermostats require a C wire ("common" wire) to provide enough power for LED displays and Wi-Fi-powered advanced functions. That's why some homeowners need smart thermostats without a C wire requirement. These self-powered battery thermostats (usually powered but 2 or 3 AAA or 1 9V battery / batteries) run on low power or ship with DIY power adapters that anyone can install.
I Want a Smart Thermostat but Don't Have a C Wire? The good news is that all smart thermostats don't require a C-wire. Some can work equally well without them.
A 5-wire structure is the most common one found in thermostats like a standard Honeywell thermostat found in most American homes. 2 Wire Thermostat is used in furnaces. 3 Wire Thermostat is for boilers and water heaters. 4 Wire Thermostat is used in HVAC systems and heat pumps.
What are the 5 wires in a thermostat?
Here is the industry standard color code for thermostat wires used for most systems:
The W wire is connected to your heating system. ...
The Y wire is yellow and connects to your air conditioning compressor.
The G wire is green and connects to the fan.
Rc and Rh: The red wire(s) are the power source for your thermostat.
Thermostat vs Thermometer: A thermometer tells you the temperature in the room. A thermostat regulates the temperature. It helps control the temperature in the room by making small adjustments to heat or cool the room. If it gets too cold in the room, the thermostat adjusts and warms it up.

Not a dumb video at all. It helped me pull the same thermostat off my wall. I did not want to break it. Thank you very much. 🏆🏆🏆

[@adairvazquez3213]

Great video

[@samanthawisdom7881]

Very helpful thank you! My thermostat keeps turning off 🙃 I wasn’t sure how to get it off the wall to reset it.

[@Marcus-kc9wc]

I'd like to know how to take the damn wires back out😅

[@EyeOnAiman]

Easy! Cut the sheet rock with any knife or try to fish the wires out using coat hanger.
