Before You Begin
Please note: this is a quick start guide, intended to get you started on the
installation of your Thermostat.

Product Support
Before you begin installation, please note, the Thermostat requires a C
(Common) wire. It will not function without a C wire. If the thermostat
location does not have a C wire, a new C wire, or a C wire adapter, must be
installed. Please contact us for additional information and technical support
on this topic.
This thermostat works with common singlestage 24 volt systems such as forced
air, hydronic, heat pump, oil, gas, and electric. It will not work with
millivolt systems, such as a gas fireplace, or with 120/240 volt systems such
as baseboard electric heat.
Your Thermostat connects to the internet via a YoLink hub (Speaker Hub or the
original YoLink Hub), and it does not connect directly to your WiFi or local
network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and for full
functionality, a hub is required.
This guide assumes the YoLink app has been installed on your smartphone, and a
YoLink hub is installed and online (or your location, apartment, condo,
etcetera, is already served by a YoLink wireless network).

power to the thermostat by turning off the HVAC equipment at the circuit
breaker panel, prior to performing any steps related to connecting or changing
the thermostat wiring!

Note #1: Confirm the presence of a C wire, or one labeled COM or COMMON.
The Thermostat will not function without a C wire (or C wire adapter, as
previously noted).
Note #2: The Thermostat is not compatible with multi-speed cooling, two
or second-stage cooling or heating
Note #3: The Thermostat does not use an outdoor temperature sensor. This
is an optional feature used for heat pump lockout, based on outside
temperature.
As there is no automatic lockout with the Thermostat. To avoid possible
compressor damage, do not run the air conditioner if outside temperatures are
below 50°F (10°C).
If your existing thermostat has additional wires that do not appear to correspond with any of these wire designations, please contact us.
-
Refer to the chart above, match up your thermostat wires with their matching screw terminal on the Thermostat terminal strip.
-
Turn off power, as required, to ensure there are no energized wires at the thermostat location.
-
Before making any changes to the thermostat wiring, it is important to identify the individual wires and their functions using the supplied labels (or masking tape, etc.) label each wire with the same identifier that is on the existing thermostat (“C”, “R” etcetera). It may also help to have a picture of the wiring on the existing thermostat, in case a label falls off or if you need to reinstall the existing thermostat.
-
Remove your existing thermostat and back plate from the wall. Use care to not allow the cable to fall into the hole in the wall!
-
Mount the new back plate to the wall, using the appropriate method, for example, with the supplied drywall anchors. Position the plate, to cover the hole in the wall, and check the level of the plate, as needed. Do not overtighten the mounting screws, as this will warp the back plate, adversely impacting the thermostat operation.
-
Terminate each conductor on its respective screw terminal. You will need to loosen each screw terminal, first. When finished, gently tug on each wire, to ensure a good connection.
-
Refer to the rear of the Thermostat. Set the HP/GAS slide switch to HP for heat pump systems otherwise to GAS You can change the switch setting with a small screwdriver, pencil or similar object.
-
If you set the HP/GAS switch to HP, set the O/B slide switch to O for energizing the reversing valve on heating (cold climates) or B for energizing the reversing valve on cooling (hot climates) operation.
If you set the HP/GAS switch to GAS, the valve will only energize for heating.
-
Gently push the thermostat down onto the back plate. You may hear an audible click, as it snaps into place. Observe the rear thermostat sides, near the wall, to ensure there are no uneven gaps between the plate and the thermostat. Gently tug on the thermostat, to ensure it does not come loose.
-
Turn on power to the unit. The Thermostat display should immediately turn on. If not, double-check your wire terminations, power-off the unit and correct any mistakes, as needed.
Refer to the full Installation & User Guide and the product support page to complete the setup of your Thermostat.
