Hello,

@Neatbourbon I see nothing is attached to the message that you posted just now you need to upload a picture of the old thermostat that shows the wires that are attached so we can help you

And this is how I setup the wiring. Does it look correct?

@Neatbourbon I am afraid you have made a mistake on you’re wiring. The white wire needs to be placed on the OB* terminal. 
It appears you have a Heat Pump system installed.  Your old thermostat used W to call for heat. The short white jumper between W and Y means your system uses the compressor to heat and to cool. 
Move the White wire to the OB* terminal. You have a type O heat pump.

Thank you for that! I made the change and still get an N261 code showing unconfigured and undetected wires with the C being highlighted in orange. Based on my prior diagram, I have the green wire in C

@Neatbourbon you have no Power Common wire so the green wire belongs in G.
