In this video we show you how to install the Amazon smart thermostat and how to set it up. The Amazon Smart Thermostat is a wifi smart thermostat that allows you to remotely control the thermostat from your phone to control the temperature or set schedules.
In the video we teach you how to install the Amazon Smart Thermostat with a traditional HVAC system with an air conditioner and gas fire furnace.
It's important to note that the Amazon Smart Thermostat requires a common wire or a common wire adapter in order to work. In our case the existing thermostat already had a common wire so we were able to install the Amazon Smart Thermostat.
If you need to add a common wire we have several videos that explain what a common wire is and how to add one or repurpose the G wire to be used as a common wire. The videos are for the Nest Thermostat but the common wire installation is the same for the Amazon Smart Thermostat as the Nest Thermostat.

The device didn’t power on so I put the lux psp511 back. What a way to spend your Sunday 👍🏻
Out of all the other Amazon, smart thermostat videos. I’ve watched yours helped me the most. I had that black jumper on mine that I didn’t know what to do with Andy. Blue wire wasn’t hooked up in my furnace down below. Thank you for your help you rock.
Yo awesome thanks so much!!! Soooooo helpful! Especially the second video linked on how to use the G wire as a C wire thanks again
Where is your link for installing with a heat pump?
Thanks for this video, very helpful; especially showing that it has a mounting plate. None of the pics on Amazon show it which made me hesitant to buy at first, because the thermostat I am replacing is bigger and would have made holes in wall visible. Thanks!
Man! what an awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for being a subscriber! Your support in getting to 100K subscribers is appreciated! I just responded to you other comment on another one of my videos! I respond to the comments myself so sometimes it takes me a while to get to them but I remembered your username! Big 007 fan! Also the original Goldeneye on N64 was awesome! Good times!
I read an article that says having smart thermostats that turn heat up and down, same with ac, actually uses more energy. Article said to set a temp that you can be comfortable with all day and night. Furnace and ac work harder to bring temps up and down constantly.
Don't believe everything you read, what credible source said this ? Imagine you are traveling during the summer and you set your thermostat to 85 as not to waste energy. Now you can turn it down to 72 12 hours before you're coming home. Same in winter, keep house @ 55 while away, turn to 72 before coming home. At work and no one home, same thing....I must disagree with what you read
@@njboesman The units use more energy to bring temps up or down depending on the season. They work harder and longer to get where you set them. I did an experiment and noticed it took more therms to get my heat set from a 62-degree setting compared to leaving it at 74 all the time.
@@43wagonwheel I think there are a lot of variables to consider here. Clearly, these save energy in most cases otherwise why would utility companies be giving rebates?
@@njboesman Government money......Utility companies dont give jack away.
yeah there's a MASSIVE number of variables that might make that true or untrue, starting with type of furnace/AC, going right down to the construction of your home (my last place was on a slab with no underlayment under the laminate! yikes!). ymmv.
Are we eliminating the jumper cable with the new set up?
Great review. 🎉Thanks for going over the programming steps, that was very informative!
Does this thermostat need a jumper wire I just have a red wire white wire and a C and RC connect to a 24volt outlet adapter
this is great and probably works in 90% of applications, but here in the northeast, we have gas boilers and baseboard heat which means no control board at the boiler(instead we have an Aquastat). In my application, the smart thermostat will be controlling both the heat and the AC (R1&C used). I have extra wires (3) coming to the thermostat and a 24v transformer near by boiler, the question is where to connect the 24v to the device?
thank you for the detailed video!! is it possible to configure the thermostat with no wifi?
You can’t, it’s specifically a smart thermostat that’s intended to be integrated into the Amazon Alexa you should already have. If you don’t want to use it with WiFi, save yourself some money and buy a regular Honeywell or something. Cheers!
I didn’t see any videos or instructions for installing this with a heat pump system.
It says on box ..DO NOT INSTALL WITH HEAT PUMP
@@jontewatson6434 It does not say that on box, Says not compatible with base board heat.
Thank You so much 😊
I have an X2 black wire and a o-Orange wire. Where do they connect?? Thanks
Hi! Where did you get the wall plate for the thermostat? I have looked everywhere for that one and cannot find it :(
okay, how do I know if will this work with a gas boiler that I'm going to buy? If I do not have a gas boiler or thermostat how do I know do I have C wire as you talk about? right now at this moment I don't have a gas boiler and I don't have an existing thermostat so I'm going to purchase these two products how do I know will this thermostat work or is compatible with a gas boiler? and one more question because this product is for the USA market will it work with gas boilers outside of the United States let's say European products mainly I'm mostly talking about Italian brands Fondital and Ariston I assume maybe you are not familiar with these kinds of products because Market differences and Country but maybe you heard about this product and you have a piece of information are they compatible or not?
Can i have multiple Home - Cool settings? Like if i wanted my mornings to be one temp and afternoons to be another temp, but not the same as my sleep temp or away temp.
Can we connect the Amazon ST to a newer Noble Fire Tube Boiler?
What does it mean that my white cable is split in two and is in the w2 and y2 spot
What are those 2 blue (what look like switches) at the bottom of the wiring plate? How do i know if i need use either one or both?
My existing thermostat has a separate orange and a separate black line but the Alexa one has an O/B input do I put them both in the same unit?
Too many of these require C wires when many older boiler systems use 2 wires.
Requiring a separate 24v power supply
Where your video with adapter C-wire , please share
I bought these for a new house that does not have home internet (Wifi) yet. How do I get past the step where it's asking me to connect the thermostat to a Wifi network??
Hi, thanks for this video. My old thermostat has 4 wires, blue, green, red and white. When I connect blue to "C" , red to "R", green to "G" and White to "W", the alexa app does not show the option for Air conditioning, I only see the option for Heat. Any advise? Thanks.
Hi ! I Don’t have a yellow cable and the blue one it’s on the “Y” slot … it’s that ok ?
I had the smart thermostat installed and it worked fine - until my modem went out. I tried to get it set up with the new modem with NO luck. I even bought a replacement thermostat, and it won't connect either. I am now at the point where neither of the faceplates wiil light up, so I am now without heat. I've double checked the wiring, and it is correct (it worked fine before the modem problem) Amazon tech support was absolutely NO help at all, and simply said they would send me a new thermostat (supposed to arrive this morning,, but did not come, but it still has not arrived).
I had no problem installing it . Easy to wire and program however I couldn’t believe it I looked to start my furnace fan but I’ll be dip in monkey 💩 there is no fan on control. I still can believe it. Now I need to take it down a send it back. I never even thought about it not having that capability. I guess it was my fault but it never crossed my mind you couldn’t turn the fan on .
my home came with one that works, but I dont have the QR to scan, I have the Alexa App, how do i attach it? thank you
I have a o/b wire
What do I do with that
Did anyone figure out the w wire for heat pump
the app during setup didn't indicate to connect my W wire. it was blowing cold when set to heat. per this video, i connected the W wire and am testing it now
Is the back-plate required?
No, it's optional. It's called a cosmetic plate to cover up previous paint or work
Does the color for the Common Wire matter? I have a T4 that I’m replacing for this Amazon thermostat and the existing T4 does not use a C wire, but there are spare wires (brown and blue) tucked into the wall.
Most common wire is the blue wire.
My Old thermostat has 4 wires. 12v (red), GRND -Green , D for white, C for Yellow . I connected Red in R, Green in G, Yellow in Yellow and White in W but there is no power to the device
How about if I dot have a C WIRE
I have no blue wire but do have the others. Please advise
You need the blue or C-wire to power the thermostat with. Most modern furnaces have a "C" terminal on the board in the unit, so you just need 5-conductor thermostat wire. Or you can purchase a C-wire adapter from Honeywell. The C wire provides the 24VAC current to the device.
Great video
I want to hook up just a Central A/C unit to my thermostat. I only have 2 wires coming to my existing thermostat, a red and a white wire. I am using a transformer to replace the c-wire. So I believe I would hook up the transformer to the RC & C plugs, and as for the existing 2 wires that I currently use, I would connect the Red wire to the R plug, and the White wire to the Y plug. Is that correct?
There is no way you have an AC system only running two wires, ALL AC systems have minimum 3 wires
Is it work for 2 stage cooling?
When I installed mine, it connected but wouldn’t turn the ac on. Everything else worked. Help!
Same problem. Any solution?
Me three! So frustrating! Help!
Same. I have a pretty standard setup, moving from a Honeywell (non-heat pump) to this Alexa. My Honeywell has the R to Rc jumper, so on the Alexa, I only connected to the R. Unit says it's cooling, but house kept getting warmer, even after an hour. I put the Honeywell back on until I can work this out.
This is my exact problem. RC to RH jump on the old thermostat. On the old thermostat there was no yellow, but the C wire was wired to the yellow terminal. Installed the Amazon thermostat without the jump and it only recognized heat on the app. Took the plate off and put a jump from R to RC, but it was damned tight. I can't tell if my jump was bad due to the crowding, or if it is absolutely necessary to have a yellow for it to work (which didn't seem necessary on the old Honeywell. Still don't know the purpose of wiring the C to the otherwise unused yellow terminal on the old unit). At any rate, the house was sweltering and so I reconnected the old unit and everything works again. If anyone has found a workaround I'd be interested.
Same problem
on alexa app, after selecting the "thermostat" option, I dont get amazon in the brand to select, why? help please
How do you remove it from the wall?
Alright I bought this for my pellet stove it wired up also set up the app wired it up as directed but not working can anyone help!??
I connected all my wires the same way you did but mine won’t turn on, can someone help?
Turn the breaker box back on
@@_Jayv1 it is on, I meant it won’t turn back on even when the breaker is back on
The screen is not turning on when I turn on the power. I followed your video. Now what?
No one explains anything anymore.... So here
Red is your power around 27vac
Green is your fan relay
White is your heat control
Yellow is your cooling compressor.
Think of it like a switch to turn on your fan, ac unit or heater.
The blue wire or C. Is your common or neutral wire... This is for your thermostat to work. You need this to complete the circuit. The other wires are just switches
Mine is just like yours... for whatever reason, it just wont work. The display just wont come on.
If u do not have the common wire (blue) does the thermostat turns on!? Mine won't even turn on at all
You need a 24 v. Plug adapter
I used my blue wire and never got the Set display but when i used the brown wire it came on perfect...but i still got to figure out why my alexa app said the heat is about to come on but never actually kicked on....
When I put the Red wire in the R it does not power on. If I put the Red wire in RC it works but the heating system does not work.
How do I fix that?
Did you make sure you push that blue tab all the way up so it covers the RC terminal. You would be inserting the Red in the R
@@brandonsoth2783 so i dont need a jumper like on my last one?
@@MLPics no you don't.
Thermostat has a built in jumper so just make sure the switch for the jumper is all the way up
@@brandonsoth2783 Thankyou thankyou thankyou! Why cant i find that anywhere!?!?
I keep getting provisioning error 3:5:0:1 (even though when I google this all results are for smart plug). It has been unconnected from wifi for months although we could use it manually. We've tried reconnecting many times. Today I did the hard reset, but I'm still getting this provisioning error (now I can't even use the thermostat :-( !). It won't let me type the wifi password, it is only giving me option to click the one already associated with my alexa account. The only thing that I am doing differently is I no longer I have the QR code (I can't find an image of it anywhere) so I am trying to connect with bluetooth. Should I try to get rid of my Wifi settings for all Alexa? Does anyone have the manual where they could share the QR code?
I can't find any way to disconnect wifi in the Alexa settings....
So where fo I put my W wire it says do not c9nnect
I have the same question
W wire goes to O/B
Do you mean O or B? Cuz there is no O/B
@@JanisVaile second terminal to the top left
Thanks! I’ll try it
Hey! 🤨
I can,t buy it in Europe , not in Norway Amazon don,t send it to Norway no Europe 😢😢
After I hit next, Alexa cannot find the thermostat. After retrying several times, despite the power clearly being on the thermostat, and it reading: "SEt" there's simply no response. The good news is reinstalling our simple Lux thermostat is easy and it still works fine. Left a scathing Amazon review for this crappy inoperative product...
Followed directions to A T. Aaaaand it doesn’t work. Sucks.
No power. Doesn’t set to “set”
I installed it upside down like a moron
2 questions, my wires don't snap into place they simply slide out and 2 how the heck are you supposed to fit the jump wire in W1 and the white wire in the same hole!?!?! Thanks
Just installed Amazon smart thermostat. It is blowing cold air, but not pushing it as hard as my previous thermostat.
A few rooms are blowing cold air, but the ones on the other side of the house are not as cold like they used to be.
Old thermostat had a wire connecting R and RC. I did not use the wire for R and RC, as I was unsure how to connect that. Is my setup correct?
