Replacement question (noob)

My current set up is an old trane and it's the only unit in the house. I have a single hvac as well. Looking for an easy DIY replacement to optimize the temperature between upstairs and downstairs which can be controlled remotely.

Thermostat won’t turn on (Ecobee3)

Hi all,

A few days ago, my thermostat, ecobee3, just went dark. I turned off the breakers and the switch next to the furnace, turn them back on, but I got nothing. I took a multimeter to the wires and I was getting 26 volts. I had a chat session with ecobee where they had me manually connect two of the wires and the fan came on and as soon as I took them apart, the fan would stop. They determined that the ecobee unit itself was broken. I have also replaced the 3 amp fuse on the furnace. I opened the AC unit to look at the drain pan and it’s dry.

I ended up buying another ecobee and when I put it in, I have the exact same result, no power to the thermostat.

Aside from calling a pro what else can I look at?

Rcf2417stamca and r802pa075417msa are the model numbers of the ac and furnace.

Thanks

I live in a house with a basement first floor and second floor. It's real poor people apartment level so all I got is this one thermostat and a window AC on the first floor. Is this an average of the home tempature? Just the first floor?

upstairs and downstairs feel genuinely 10-20 degrees different, probably not true, but just how it feels. Walking past a certain step on the stairs is like entering a diffrent climate so I am curious how the thermostat picks which temopature to display or how? In the winter it is used to control the heat and that heat impacts all 3 floors so I am just curious when it says it's 68 or so degrees is it just taking the floor it's on and being done with it?

Also I only include that I only have one thermostat because I tried looking this up and after like 20 different pages of google all I can find is people talking about having a thermostat for every floor, maybe that's not rich people business, but to me I ain't never seen such luxury lol.

How to make this work?

It’s 82 inside and I set the temp to 68 using the arrow buttons but it hasn’t worked. There’s a “locked” icon in the display that might be the reason why.

Question on fuse

I just moved into a new build in April and I noticed that in the fuse box the fuse labeled air conditioner is off. We have central air and over the weekend I set the thermostat to cool. The house got cool but not as cool as I expected. Would I need to switch the air conditioner fuse on? Is that the same as for the central air?

Which one is my C wire?

Bought a house recently. A very old house. With an old furnace and thermostat.

Wanting to upgrade the thermostat to a new smart wifi stat, but I don’t know which one of these is my C wire for the new smart stat.

On the furnace circuit board there is (from right to left B G R Y W2 W1.

On the stat side it seems to be correctly color coded with a ton of “spare” wires in that bundle. Almost looks like the C terminal was removed.

Can anyone help me figure out which wire I should be putting to the C terminal on the new stat?

Thank you!

Alloy SmartHome Thermostat randomly changes set temp to 50

Hello everyone,

So the other day my apartment installed these Alloy Smart Hub+ Thermostats. Comes with the SmartRent app that allows me to also control it from my phone

I always have it set to 70. So when it gets to 71, it will turn on the AC, cool it to 69, and then turn it back off. That’s about 80% of the behavior. And it signifies that it’s requesting cooling with a blue snowflake on the thermostat.

However, I’ve noticed it get quite cold and I go to the thermostat and it’s saying the current temp is at 65/66/67 (what I’ve seen so far) and still requesting cooling. So I press the Up arrow on the thermostat to crank it back to 70. But it starts it at 50. So I keep pressing until it says 70. I’ve reached out to their support 2-3 times and they tried resetting it over their system and it still doesn’t work. Could the wiring telling you guys anything or does this call for a new device? I turned it off for tonight because I don’t want it to do this in the middle of the night and waste electricity

In the app I have no schedules or anytning set up and there’s no hold feature

Amazon smart thermostat wiring with c adapter help condenser will not turn on

I am a novice female who has never done this before and I need help.

Removed nest to replace with Amazon smart thermostat.
Had to get c wire adapter.

I can power the thermostat. I can run the fan. But the condenser will not turn on!

Photos of wiring at furnace, wiring to adaptor and wiring to new thermostat. I wrote down what the wiring looks like left to right from furnace to adapter to thermostat.

Fuses are okay. I put nest back on it does run normally. So I presume it’s my wiring that’s wrong.

Duo-Therm to Honeywell RTH 111 Thermostat wiring

So the old thermostat got hit by a door and the fan switch got knocked off so the ac wouldn’t blow. I looked up online and found people used this one to replace and he had the wiring diagram. Now everything seems to work except the ac isn’t blowing cold air. Please help cause it’s getting hot.

Is it my wiring? Did something get screwed up maybe if I wired it wrong? Etc etc.

Thank you all!!!!

Change Thermostat wires

Hello, I was gifted a smart thermostat to upgrade the existing one in picture 1. I called an electrician to install the new one, he wired it like in picture 2 left and said he’ll be back another day. It’s not turning on and from my understanding the issue is that it’s missing a live wire. Is it correct and is it something easy to do?

Original Thermostat is a Danfoss 5000 and new one is Meross Meross MTS215B
