Terminal outputs and common wire (c-wire) requirement
The common wire could be labeled “C”, “B” or “X” on the old thermostat. Please refer to the owner’s manual of the old thermostat.
What if I don’t have a common wire (c-wire)?
There are a few options if the application does not have or will not allow the pulling of a common wire (c-wire) through the wall.

Do I need a RC/RH jumper?
No jumpers required
- Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat has a built in RC/RH jumper, no need to field install a jumper
- If you have separate wires to RC and RH terminals (two transformer systems)
— Label the wires RC and RH separately and then clip the jumper wire on the Sensi back plate.
RC/RH jumper location
- RC/RH jumper built-in on the back of the thermostat
No jumpers are required when installing the Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat
Wiring – two transformer – conventional single stage or two stage systems
Quick tip: Thermostat wiring does not follow a standardized color code. Take a picture with your smart phone and label thermostat wires before removing old thermostat from the wall.
Wiring – heat pumps single stage or multi-stage systems
Quick tip: Thermostat wiring does not follow a standardized color code. Take a picture with your smart phone and label thermostat wires before removing old thermostat from the wall.
Heat pump wiring exceptions
Separate W2 and E Wires
- Both wires will be labeled W/E and attached to the same terminal.
B Terminal Wires
- “B” terminal can be used for more than one. Here is the solution to cross.
