If you want to check to make sure the HVAC configurations are correct after installation, refer to this article for instructions on how to configure thermostats.
Notes:
- Sensi thermostats are not compatible with line voltage systems. A line voltage thermostat will typically have wires larger than 18 gauge and may not have terminal labels. If you’re unsure of your system voltage, you or a contractor should measure voltage using a multimeter. Sensi thermostat is rated for 20-30 VAC.
- If your old thermostat has wires attached to the following sets of terminals, the Sensi thermostat is not compatible with your system:
- 1, 2, 3, 4
- A, B, C, D
- V+, VG, RS-, RS+
- R, 1, 2, C
Refer to our system compatibility checker to see if Sensi thermostats will work for you.
