I'm buying a house in Arizona that was built in 2016, and they have a AC/furnace system with 3 zones. 3 separate Honeywell thermostats, and a Honeywell multizone controller. My first thought is to replace all 3 with Nest thermostats.
The owners sent me the attached picture of the current wiring. I have been trying to do my research so I went to the Nest compatability checker which said it was good, but that is based on the wires that are connected. But here is my question; I see these wires connected - Green, White, Blue, Yellow, Red. But what about the wires in the back that aren't connected? Looks like Brown, Orange and Black. Is there anything I need to do with those?
I emailed Nest support and got the following response:
We would love to check the compatibility. Based on the picture of the wires Green G, White W1, Blue C, Yellow Y!, Red R you have 5 wires Green G, White W1, Blue C, Yellow Y1 Red R. Based on this, I would say that you have a conventional system of cooling and heating. Your system is compatible. I have attached a wiring guide for you to follow.
Please be advised that since youres have a zoning system. Will need to have a Nest Pro Install this for you
