Trying to convert to Nest Learning Thermostat from Honeywell. My old Honeywell had the following connections (from right to left in the picture above):
R - Red wire
Y - Yellow wire
W - Orange wire
G - Green wire
W2 - White wire
In hooking up the new nest, I have made the following connections with those same wires and connected the blue common wire which was already in the wall but not connected to my old Honeywell:
Y1 - Yellow Y wire in old Honeywell
G - Green G wire in old Honeywell
RH - red R wire in old Honeywell
C - Blue “Common” wire which was connected to old Honeywell
W2/Aux - White W2 wire in old Honeywell
W1 - Orange “W” wire in old Honeywell
Here is a picture:
My concern is the W1 and W2/Aux connections which now result in two stage heating. The old Honeywell did not have a W1 and the Im fearful that I should only have the White W2 wire connected to the nest and hide the orange “W” wire that was connected to the old Honeywell. Any ideas or suggestions?
My wife told me I should have just hired someone to do this. I would be grateful if someone could help me out on this question so that my wife doesn’t get to rub my nose in this one down the line. Thanks.
