Hello,
Recently purchased a learning thermostat and have yet to open it. I'm no electrical engineer so I'm hoping what I have will work or I might as well return it.. Can someone please help me out? Is this compatible?
I have wires for
-RH
-G
-W/E

your setup is not compatible. the google thermostats require a 'C' wire for power. I would return it.

Would a different version on the nest thermostats work?

all nest thermostats require the C wire to operate.

There are two options. 1. Install a nest power connector. 2. Use G wire as C wire. This requires switching the G wire to C terminal at the furnace. You will lose the ability to control the fan independently.
