My old Thermostat did not use the C wire but there are extra wires to the thermostat. How can I tell if one of these is the C wire, just see if I have 24v on any and that is the C? AND can you just supply 24vac from any source such as a transformer?

Great video! I just purchased one and picking up today from BB. Question tho: What option would I select when setting up? Forced air or heat pump? I have a trane unit Outside and I have a heat pump that warms our home in the winter. Thanks again!

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 great choice truly a great product. Double check your manual but I believe you pick forced air in the summer then in the winter change it to heat pump. Make sure to look at how your old one is wired take a picture before unconnecting this might be a tricky one. Nice nice thing is it's easy to go back and change the settings just start the setup process over definitely try it both ways and make sure things are running right before leaving it.

[@NHseacoast]

I’m guessing you need a 24 volt C wire? What if you lose wifi and this thermostat is for a 2nd home. Does it default to a certain heat setting if your away ? Does it have a non smart hold temp feature say for a 2nd home? And will it email alert you If your not home, Thanks!

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏😇 Great question... its settings will hold at whatever your last settings are. You can also have it set to do what works for the home and it will stay that way until you change it and set it as a locked setting no difference than like a old style and yes it will email you and also emails you your exact use how much air or heat used😉

[@inteligenciam]

Thanks. I wanted to know the difference in why is older price higher

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 great question and I definitely wondered the same. I dont know if this is everything but besides technology getting much cheaper as its more main stream i believe that the screen was of much higher quality than then the new one it truly was not needed to be of that standard overall the experience is awsome on the old and new. But just looking at it and touching it side by side almost seems it went from like a tv screen to a much simpler screen. It hard because those kinds of specs on this product I cant find🤔

Do you know if it is able to control humidity level? thank you

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇🙏 Humidity is actually controlled by your ac unit. A ac unit actually pulls the humidity out of your home as this is one of the ways it cools your house. The thermostat takes all this into consideration as it displays the temperature of your home so it is actually controlling humidity buy telling the ac when to shutoff. If you have dirty air filters or a undersize or manufacturing ac it can leave your house feeling yucky and humid 😊 it also displays the outdoors weather

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 put the red in the R slot and keep the blue loop in below then turn your breaker back on and it should work if you matched up everything it needs the power cable to be connected as it has no battery so make sure the wires are all in nice and tight and that it has power😇

Hi.. where did the wire inside the wall came from??

[@JbTechFanatic]

I not sure if I'm understanding the question correctly but the wires are usually ran when the house is built by a electrician. Or sometimes a ac company will rerun if you get a new ac unit and have issues. You also can purchase wires from your local lowes or home depot.

Its hard to say. But try as is. Just make sure it turns on ac and then heat also if it wrong it will only turn on one not the other but if only using ac it will be ok for now.

[@tommyboy443]

@@JbTechFanatic than you for getting back to me😊 no only thing I'm using is the app that it's connected to

[@JbTechFanatic]

Of course anytime 😊 so likely what is happening is you setup a schedule with a hold temp. Go into the app touch the desired AC unit then go into schedule what you will notice is it will set auto to keep your house at a specific temperature so what happens is let's just say you set it to 70 the AC will kick on if it's 71 and the heater will kick on if it's below 70. It keeps the house at that temp. go ahead and delete that section completely start over only pick one or the other for the winter season so just pick heat for now. Then shut off auto. Now go ahead and select your desired temperature and re-save it just for your heater this should fix the problem. kzbin.info/aero/PLMdd-qroR8HVCBrFHTNorn89kKzy5P4d6

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support. Sorry that you are having issues. Is this a new thermostat and it won't work or was it working and now it won't work permanent hold and temporary hold are just settings they should not stop you from being able to turn on your AC if the AC is not coming on you might have popped a breaker on the outside unit there's usually a cable that runs to a breaker box that often pops if it's not that you might have blown a capacitor that's another major problem it's a simple fix normally about 165 bucks to have someone fix it.

I see i would check the breakers for your ac make sure all are on. Next set your thermostat to Cooling make sure its not on heat. and if it doesn't work call an AC repairman. Also if you're wanting to use your thermostat with your phone go to the settings menu on the thermostat and reset it and start a new set up this way you can login to the device and control everything with your phone if we were neighbors I would come over and help you fix it sorry I wasn't able to be more helpful

I liked the product till they decided they needed my home address. Going to guess the app wants my location data also?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇 💯 🙏 I totally understand where your coming from. So the reasons they want that information is the app knows when your home and not to save money buy running less when no one is home ect. Also the usage monitor this tells you how much the ac and or heat has ran and compares it for you based off your use and averages. It will give you readings and estimate cost based off location. it also is compatible with the electric companies discount programs this will save you about 20.percent of your bill if your electric company offers it. And lastly it gives a live reading of the weather and humidity. But if you want the product but dont want to give up that information you can always use a random address and block the location access once setup is complete. I did that for my mother in law as she just wanted to be able to use her phone to turn it on and off and it still works fine. Hopefully this helps a little 😇

Honestly its so difficult because everyone has different wires depending on the systems and date home was built. Best thing to do is to take a photo of the colors and what ports they were plugged into then replicate the same connections on your new one. They also provide a few variations in the manual.

I was extremely disappointed in my new thermostat since the wire connections did not work properly. They did not grip on to the wire as shown in the installation video and the device consequently did not perform well. I ended up removing it and reinstalling the original device. It sadly turned out to be a big waste of money and time for me. I consequently can not recommend this device.

Thank you for watching and for sharing your feedback. Sorry it would not hold. If its worth it to try again You can splice your wires and buy some extensions to get a better hold or try this kit here some people have said it helps amzn.to/3AZp94c

My old Thermostat did not use the C wire but there are extra wires to the thermostat. How can I tell if one of these is the C wire, just see if I have 24v on any and that is the C? AND can you just supply 24vac from any source such as a transformer?

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇🙏 I really don't want to screw up your AC system and don't want to get confused by what I'm reading. so we have two options from here the first one is in your manual there is several different configurations explained for connecting your wire system this might be the safest route to go. but I'm glad to help and if you would like more help I would prefer if you go to my Facebook account #jbtechfanatic send me a message letting me know I told you to send this message with physical photos of your old wiring configuration and the new one you're attempting this way I can physically see it and try to help you better😊🙏 as far as power goes you want to make sure that the power is the same source that sends the signal to your AC to tell it to turn on and off😊 of course any proper power source will likely give it power I just have not experimenting With this too many times. I have always used the pre-wired power coming into any of my AC terminals in my wall😇 please let me know if you want help on Facebook

THE UNIT FLASHES WHEN ACTIVATED IS VOLTS TOO LOW? WHAT IS THE REASON?

[@JbTechFanatic]

This definitely sounds like it could be the problem or a defective display? kzbin.info/aero/PLMdd-qroR8HV1m25PEymp6bZ4mt6X5nlA&si=j50srNflS-r0cUz4
