I just looked up your model and it looks like the ones I replaced. My two older Honeywell thermostats were swapped out with the two home smart color thermostats. The wiring on most thermostats is generally the same depending on your system and it capability. There are a couple of limitations about some systems that these will not work on. One that I can think of right now it electric baseboard heat (these will not work with that type of system). You can check on the Honeywell web site for more details and their customer service is very good. They answered my pre-purchase questions in a very timely manner. There are about six different combinations of wiring that you can use with these thermostats. You do need a "C" wire and that can be hooked up in about five minutes usually, my older thermostats didn't have that wire attached. There should be extra wires in the bundle behind the current thermostat and you just need one to be hooked up on you main units control board and you're good to go. I did exactly that and things work very well. Just head the warnings of turning off the units at the breaker before doing the wiring. The new thermostats are awesome, hooked them to the app and the Alexa!! Just be aware there are some limitations in the Alexa skill from Honeywell but you can change the temp, get the temp and a couple of other things, which is all you really need! That's what you would do if you walked over to it and changed it there once it was set up.Good Luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need 5 wires to hook up this Stat properly. Don’t try to use any lessor it will burn it out in 3 months and you wil be replacing it
