Note: The Wi-Fi thermostat requires a C wire to operate. The C, or common,
wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. Many older mechanical or battery
operated thermostats do not require a C wire. If you don’t have a C wire, try:
• Looking for an unused wire that is pushed into the wall. Connect that wire
to C and check that it is connected to the 24 VAC common at your heating/
cooling system. Check the video section at wifithermostat.com.
• Installing a new wire. If required, contact a contractor to install a new wire
(go to wifithermostat.com to locate a contractor in your area).
