Step-by-Step Installation Guide (with C-Wire Adapter)

1. Preparation

• Tools Needed: Phillips head screwdriver, small flat head screwdriver, fully charged mobile device, WiFi credentials. (A drill and wire stripper may be helpful.)
• Safety First: Turn off power to your HVAC system at the breaker or main switch.

2. Remove Your Old Thermostat

• Gently remove the cover of your existing thermostat.
• Take clear photos of the wiring and terminal labels for reference.
• Confirm your system is low voltage (24V), not high voltage (120/240V).

3. Label and Disconnect Wires

• Use the provided wire labels to mark each wire according to its terminal (e.g., R, G, Y, W).
• Do not rely on wire color—label by terminal letter.
• Remove the old thermostat back panel.

4. Install the C-Wire Adapter at the Control Board

• Locate your HVAC control board (usually near the furnace or air handler).
• Disconnect the labeled wires (R, G, Y, W) from the control board.
• Connect these wires to the C-wire adapter (CWA).
• Connect the CWA wires back to the corresponding terminals on the control board.
• Secure all connections and replace the control board cover.

Tip: The C-wire adapter is compatible with systems that have at least G and Y wires but no dedicated C-wire.

5. Mount the Wyze Thermostat

• Thread the labeled wires through the new back panel.
• Use the included wall anchors and screws to secure the back panel to the wall.
• Connect each wire to its corresponding terminal on the Wyze Thermostat.
• Snap the thermostat onto the back panel.

6. Power Up and Configure

• Restore power to your HVAC system.
• The Wyze logo will appear on the thermostat display.
• Follow the Wyze app instructions to complete setup, connect to WiFi, and configure schedules.

Troubleshooting & Special Cases

Installing with a K-Wire (Honeywell Thermostat)

If your old thermostat uses a K-wire (common in Honeywell models with a wire saver), the Wyze Thermostat is not compatible with the Honeywell wire saver. Remove the wire saver and re-label wires as follows:

• K terminal → Y label
• C terminal → G label

Adjust wiring at both the control board and thermostat, then proceed with the Wyze app's guided installation.

Compatibility Tips

Not compatible with high voltage (120/240V) systems or electric baseboard heating.

• Use the Wyze Compatibility Checker for peace of mind before starting.
• If you have only Rc, G, and W1 wires, you can repurpose the G wire as a C wire.
