Ok thanks. Just to make sure, you don’t have a heat pump in your hvac system, correct?

You would know if you had one, it’s a very special setup.

Yes you should be able to use any of the Nest thermostats with your setup. Some connections on the Nest wire plate are named differently depending on the particular Nest model, for example there is no R for the Nest learning thermostat, but Rh and Rc, and you would plug into Rh. The rest should be the same for you.

6 wire system, black and orange wires are not used, there was small jumper from rh to rc on original thermostat, from my understanding nest system does this automatically, not sure what issue was, went back to original thermostat and everything working now.

Hello. I need some help with setting up my Google Nest thermostat, please. I put all the wires as instructed but the heat pump does not start. The heat starts but the outside unit does not. When I switch back to the old one, everything starts. Can anyone help? I attached te old and the new wiring set up. Thanks

What about this one? It's a heat pump. I can't figure out what to do with the brown wire. It was manufactured 5/22 if that helps.

Current thermostat is Honeywell TH5220D

Hello folks,

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your inquiries. I'd be happy to take a look into this.

@Mihai1, I see that you wired it correctly to your Nest Thermostat. To make sure it was properly configured, please try resetting the thermostat to default settings and make sure to choose the appropriate wires connected to its base during the set-up. Once finished, call for heat and cooling and keep us posted on how it goes.

@nickdonellan, To check your system's compatibility, could you also share a photo of your thermostat's wiring with us? I'll look forward to your response.

Regards,

Mark
