The old thermostat has the following:                  New Nest thermostat (3rd gen)

                     brown -- W1/O/B             to                    W1

                     black -- Y1                         to                    Y1

                     green -- G                         to                     G

                      red -- R                              to                     Rc

                      blue -- C                            to                     C

                      white -- W2                       to                     W2/Aux

Let me know if the above wiring scenario is correct.. Thanks

Hi,

 So the first time I called up Nest, they suggested the following wiring config, based upon the Carrier model number. I guess they assumed it's just a regular conventional ac unit.

  • Y1- Black wire
  • G- Green wire
  • W1- Brown wire
  • RC- Red wire
  • W2- White wire
  • C- Blue wire

So I called up Carrier directly and was notified I have in fact a heat pump. From that info, Nest gave me the wiring config below.

  • Y1- Black wire
  • G- Green wire
  • O/B- Brown wire
  • RC- Red wire
  • W2- White wire
  • C- Blue wire

Nest thermostat seems to be working as it was designed to do.
