Install your thermostat
Switch OFF power to your heating/cooling system
- Important! To protect equipment, switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system switch.
- Confirm power is OFF. Try to turn on heating/ cooling equipment by changing temperature on your old thermostat. Your power is OFF if your system does not turn ON.
This thermostat works with common 24 volt systems such as forced air, hydronic, heat pump, oil, gas, and electric.
It will not work with millivolt systems, such as a gas fireplace, or with 120/240 volt systems such as baseboard electric heat.
Remove old thermostat faceplate and leave wires connected
- Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference.
- If no wire is connected to a terminal labeled C or no C terminal exists on the old thermostat, view the Alternate Wiring videos at wifithermostat.com/videos
Important! C wire is required and is the primary power source for your thermostat. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.
Label wires
Do not label by wire color.
Use the supplied sticky tags to label each wire as you disconnect it. Label wires according to old thermostat terminal designations, not by wire color.
Note: If no tag matches a terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag.
Remove wallplate
Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires are labeled and disconnected.

Note: You may be able to use your existing wall anchors. Hold the wallplate up to the existing anchors to check for alignment.
Connect wires
- Starting with the C Wire, match the sticky tag on the wire to the terminal labels.
Important! C wire is required and is the primary power source. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.
View the Alternate Wiring videos at wifithermostat.com/videos - Loosen screw, insert wire on inside edge of terminal, then tighten screw.
- Verify wire is firmly secured by gently pulling on wire.
- Repeat steps 1.7a–1.7c for all other wires.
- Push any excess wire back into the wall opening after all wires are installed.
