Amazon Smart Thermostat 2024 Easy Install Guide & Overview

🚀Join my free tech newsletter: got-sheet.beehiiv.com/
I'm a regular guy, and this install was pretty easy. I walk through the process in the video and show you how straightforward it was (even as I drilled twice as many holes in my wall as I should have).
Systems will differ by the home, but the Alexa app walks through everything pretty well. And you can see from my walk through how easy it was for a regular person.
Just make sure you turn the breaker off. I checked the wires on the first install downstairs with a multimeter and forgot to do that on the video 😅

It's on sale a lot, but regular price is still a steal.

Cheers for this.
Inspired me to look at the Google thermostat controller it's bound to be this easy.

[@MrLoungist]

FYI, I had no power to mine. Because I hadn’t put the cover panel back on the heating unit. There’s a safety switch that is pressed when the panel is on.

[@EamonnCottrell]

Ah, nice tip! Thanks!

Great video but...
It would be helpful to know which breaker to turn off. I have one labeled hall, bedroom, etc. The thermostat is located in the hall, so I was wondering if that was the correct one. After more research, I discovered that I needed to turn the breaker for HVAC system off. I know...may seem obvious, but I'm not an expert and wanted to be sure.

[@EamonnCottrell]

Thanks. Yeah, I had to do a trial and error on my breakers to figure out which one was which too.

[@HDBnB1]

Out of curiosity, how do you take off the thermostat from the wall? Do you just pull?

[@EamonnCottrell]

Yeah it’s got a plug connection thing that fits real snuggly but you just pull straight off

2024?? Is this a new one ??

[@EamonnCottrell]

Negative, not a new model at this time just a current review 👍

[@AubinPines]

You don’t even even talk about where the wires are placed. I get most of the letters are the same but half the time the letters are different and you don’t even even describe about the install not a great video man.

[@EamonnCottrell]

Yeah because there are so many different wiring configurations and I'm not an electrician, I chose not to try and get into the weeds with the specific wiring. I had to do some googling around to figure out mine and there are some other more in depth videos by professionals that address that in more detail.
