Step 1.2
Set your phone aside and turn off the power at the circuit breaker to both your heating and cooling systems before performing any wiring.
Step 1.3
Confirm that your heating and cooling system is powered down by changing the temperature on your thermostat.
Hint
Your system should not make any noise and you should not feel any air exiting your vents.
Step 1.4

Use the included wire labels to mark which wire is connected to each terminal in your old thermostat. Take a picture of your current wiring layout, you will need this picture later.
NOTE: If you have any wires at your thermostat that are not coming from the wall, please leave those wires in your old thermostat. They are not needed for installing your Greenlite AirzTM.
Step 1.6
Confirm that you have a C-Wire. If you do, please turn to the next page. If you do not, please skip ahead to page 10.
Installing with a C-wire
Before starting
Turn off the power at the circuit breaker to both your heating and cooling systems before performing any wiring.
Step 2.1
Identify your system configuration (see wiring diagrams in the appendix). Potential configurations include:
- Conventional 1H/1C (Y, G, W, R, C)
- Conventional 2H/1C (Y, G, W, W2, R, C)
- Heat Pump Single-Stage (Y, G, R, O/B, C)
- Heat Pump with auxiliary heat or dual fuel (Y, G, R, O/B, W, C) If you have only one R wire, please use the RH terminal. If you have a different configuration other than what is listed above, please call Greenlite Technical Support for help with your installation.
Step 2.2: Remove each wire from its terminal – make sure that they don’t fall down back into the wall.
Step 2.3: Remove the mounting screws from the base of the old thermostat. Remove the base from the wall.
Step 2.4: If you would like to use the trim plate or wall anchors, you can install them now.
Step 2.5: Separate Greenlite AirzTM from its base, and pull the halves apart from the bottom edge. Pull the wires from your wall through the center hole of the Greenlite AirzTM base. Secure the base to the wall using the included mounting hardware.
Option 1 – Conventional (Furnace) Systems
Step 2.6(f): Following the terminal labels marked “Conventional” on the thermostat base, loosen the screw and insert each labeled wire into the top hole of the corresponding terminal, tighten the screw.
Step 2.7(f): If you have both an RC and RH wire present, then remove the red cap located on the left side of the terminal pins. You can now skip ahead to step 2.8.
Option 2 – Heat Pump Systems:
Step 2.6(hp): Following the terminal labels marked “Heat Pump” on the thermostat base and referencing your wiring photo, loosen the screw and insert each labeled wire into the top C W1 hole of the corresponding terminal, tighten the C W1 screw.
If your old thermostat did not have a W1 wire but did have a W2 wire, please insert the W2 wire into the W1 terminal.
Step 2.7(hp): If you have both an O wire and a B wire (i.e. in some systems), please install the B wire to the “C” terminal. For more detailed directions, please see the wiring diagrams in the appendix or call Greenlite Technical Support.
Installation with C-wire
Step 2.8: Securely fasten Greenlite AirzTM onto its base. Once it has clicked into place, return power to your heating and cooling system.
Step 2.9: After your thermostat powers up, you are ready to configure Greenlite AirzTM for your heating and cooling system and connect to a wireless network. Please skip ahead to the “System Setup” section of this manual on page 18.
Installing without a C-Wire Using the Power Wire (included)
