Step-by-Step Guide: Installing a Refurbished Wyze Thermostat with a C-Wire Adapter

To install your refurbished Wyze Thermostat with a C-Wire Adapter, follow these steps: 1. Preparation: Ensure you have a Phillips head screwdriver, a small flat head screwdriver, and a fully charged mobile device. Make sure your home Wi-Fi name and password are handy. 2. Power Off: Turn off the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or using the switch on your furnace or air handler to ensure safety. 3. Remove Old Thermostat: Carefully remove the cover of your existing thermostat. If it has screws, buttons, or clasps, use the appropriate method to remove it. Do not disconnect any wires yet. 4. Check Compatibility: Use the Wyze Thermostat Compatibility Checker to ensure your system is compatible. If your system has high voltage (110/120V), it is not compatible. 5. Label Wires: Take a picture of your current thermostat wiring for reference. Label each wire according to the terminal it is connected to, not by color. 6. Disconnect Wires: Disconnect the wires from your old thermostat and remove the back panel from the wall. 7. Install C-Wire Adapter: At your HVAC system's control board, disconnect the wires and connect them to the C-Wire Adapter. Then, connect the adapter's wires to the control board. 8. Mount New Thermostat: Thread the wires through the center of the Wyze Thermostat back panel and mount it to the wall using the provided screws and anchors. 9. Connect Wires: Insert the labeled wires into the corresponding terminals on the Wyze Thermostat back panel. 10. Attach Thermostat: Snap the Wyze Thermostat onto the back panel. 11. Power On: Turn the power back on to your heating/cooling system. The Wyze logo should appear on the thermostat's screen, indicating it is ready for setup. For detailed guidance, refer to the Wyze app during installation, which will provide step-by-step instructions.
