      With the ecobee instructions, i only see clear details on what to do with 5 of the wires...
      Any suggestions?

      Your C wire is simply a wire to complete the circuit for power. Typical thermostats have a 24v AC power wire and a wire to heat, a wire to cool and a wire to "fan only" - that's 4 wires.

    For those with a heat pump instead of furnace...Orange wire goes in OB! I learned this the hard way when it would only blow warm air when it was plugged into W2. On my old thermostat the orange was in W1 and white in W2. That configuration won't work. For this thermostat to work, white needs to be in W1 and orange in OB. Everything else this video is showing is the same.

    Hi, I have a question for you. I have the ecobee smart doorbell and I live in a two storey house which I rent the second floor and on the first floor is a hair salon. My landlord went from oil heating to electric baseboards, so now I have a thermostat in each room which is fine. Finally my question, do you think I could use the Premium thermostat just as a screen to see who is at my front door? I have a button buzzer for the front door so I thought I could just power it up throught the old oil thermosat and set it up with my ecobee smart doorbell and just use it like that. thanks for your help

    My wifi goes out a lot, will this still work if the wifi is off?

      I only have 4 wires on the existing thermostat. Rc, Y, W, G. Should I connect as is on the ecobee?
