r/thermostats

Car was overheating, had the thermostat housing replaced , not even 7 weeks later it was overheating again.

Just picked it up but it looks like I paid for the same thing , did I?

Seems sparstically (usually when we lose power to storms) my nest thermostat decides it want to all of a sudden be charged.

I noticed That there is an unused green wire not hooked to anything. Its snipped at the thermostat. down by my boiler the same green wire is snipped. Is there a way to connect that green wire to make it function as a C wire...?

It would really improve the function of the thermostat (even a non nest thermostat) which is why I'm deciding to post here...

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know where this orange wire goes on the thermostat there is no empty places for it to go it’s on a camper

My thermostat is not connecting to the WiFi. I have tried everything, used the app, etc and nothing is working, causing the temperature to increase with the temperature outside. I was somehow able to manage to get it back down from 84. When I try and set up the wifi it doesn’t let me click the WiFi symbol, or select a network, hold down for 5 seconds, etc. Any advice is helpful. P.S: technology is not my thing so please use simple terms and be kind lol

For some reason I’m not allowed to post images on my previous post. So I’ll try again.

Hi all!

We are looking for recommendations for thermostats. We’ve tried Nest before and weren’t fans. We want something that is low tech and doesn’t require the need for WiFi. We have a 1200sf condo that gets a ton of sun so cooling is important. But we have also have freezing summers. Any suggestions? We currently have these old school thermostats and they’re hard wired in.

Hello, so in my ac unit, i currently have a U551, but it is not running very cold at all. what dials, if any should i turn to make my ac run colder? any help is greatly appreciated. manual and picture are attached.

I live in an apartment and have a Braeburn thermostat, pictured here. I have the temperature set to cool to 76 but the ac unit is actively cooling my apartment lower than the set temperature and I have to keep manually shutting it off. I’ve cycled it on/off, pressed the reset button, took the batteries out and even reset the breaker that’s on the air intake panel. Took a picture of the back of the thermostat and where it is connected to the wall if that’s of any use.

The thermostat definitely recognizes the current temp of my room but for whatever reason it’s not telling the AC unit to automatically turn on/off anymore when the temp fluctuates.

Hi all, I seem to have a Midea model 17317100A087. However, the display isn’t working. Im assuming there’s batteries needed, but we’re really struggling to remove it from the wall. Any idea or help?

Here’s one. I can’t figure out why this thermostat keeps disconnecting from the brain on the unit. Randomly disconnects and shuts off AC. It connects right away when I do the linking process, but it takes some fiddling to get it to kick the condenser and fan back on, like spamming new signals to get it to register.

Customer is fine with switching back to a hardwired thermostat instead of the wireless if needed, but I wanted to check if it’s an easy fix first. Batteries? Some kind of signal interference?

Appreciate any help!

this is my old thermostat wiring. im trying to replace to one of the smart one but couldn’t figure out the wire colors mean (it doesn’t have label and the system’s control board isn’t easy to access). is this compatible with ecobee?

Hi all ! Recently purchased a nest 4 thermostat to replace my old one.

I have central electric heating air duct forced furnace + heat pump cooling outside.

I used to have a Emerson 1f80 and when I put heating mode with 3-4 degrees higher than room temperature the furnace would kick in stage 2 heating and it warmed the house really fast.

There was a physical jumper between RC and RH

And w1 and w2/aux on my old thermostat

I installed the nest 4 yesterday with the white going w1, no heating at night and this morning I tried the white in w2/aux and no heating as well.

I did not physically jump the RC to RH on the nest because I listened to chatgpt and I didn't want to break the new nest 4 by jumping wires.

What should I do ?

I noticed long ago that when my X8S is set to dual mode and the AC kicks on, if it's displaying a temperature and is cooling to the same temperature (in my case the thermostat reads 73º and it's cooling to 73º) it doesn't bother displaying the snowflake behind the large temperature display in cooling mode.

Just one of those things, I thought, but the demo thermostats at Home Depot and Lowe's do, but they're also running special demo unit firmware.

So if you have one and you see it clicking on to maintain your temperature, do you see the big snowflake icon behind your temperature as the AC kicks on to maintain temperature?

Hello all! My current one is starting to go and I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a smart thermostat for awhile now. Is this connection ready for that?
