Is my set up compatible with the "Nest Learning Thermostat"???

[The_Bronze_Knee]

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.
