Step-by-Step Wyze Thermostat Installation Guide: Easy DIY for Smart Home Integration

For those looking to install a Wyze Thermostat in their smart home, here is a comprehensive, step-by-step installation guide designed for the general public: Wyze Thermostat Installation Guide 1. Gather Tools & Materials
  • Included in the box: Wyze Thermostat, C-Wire Adapter, Back Panel, Wall Cover, Mounting Screws with anchors, Quick Start Guide, Wire Labels Sheet, and Screwdrivers.
  • You may also need a drill and drill bit for mounting.
2. Power Off Your HVAC System
  • For safety, turn off the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system’s dedicated switch.
3. Remove the Old Thermostat
  • Gently remove the cover of your existing thermostat. Some models may require unscrewing.
4. Check Compatibility
  • Ensure your system is not high voltage (110/120V or 240V, thick wires, or labeled L1/L2). Wyze Thermostat is compatible with low voltage (24V) systems only.
5. Document and Label Wiring
  • Take a clear photo of your current wiring, including terminal labels.
  • Use the provided labels to mark each wire according to its terminal (not by color).
6. Disconnect and Remove Old Thermostat
  • Carefully disconnect each labeled wire and remove the old thermostat’s back panel.
7. Mount the Wyze Thermostat Back Panel
  • Thread the wires through the center of the new back panel (use the wall cover if desired).
  • Mark and drill holes for the anchors, then secure the back panel to the wall, ensuring it is level.
8. Connect Wires to the Wyze Thermostat
  • Insert each labeled wire into the corresponding terminal on the back panel. Tug gently to ensure each is secure.
9. Attach the Thermostat
  • Push any excess wire into the wall and snap the Wyze Thermostat onto the back panel until it clicks.
10. Restore Power
  • Turn the power back on at the breaker or switch. The Wyze logo should appear on the thermostat’s screen.
11. Complete Setup in the Wyze App
  • Open the Wyze app and follow the on-screen instructions to finish setup and connect to WiFi.
Additional Notes:
  • If you do not have a C-wire, use the included C-wire adapter and follow the specific instructions for systems without a C-wire.
  • The installation process typically takes about 30 minutes, and all necessary tools are included.
  • If you are unsure or uncomfortable with any step, we recommend consulting a local HVAC technician.
