Hey guys long time Wyze owner and new owner of the thermostat. Silly me got so excited when I saw I could purchase the thermostat I didn’t even check compatibility.
I ran the wires through the compatibility check and was denied. I currently have Rh and RC jumper, W, and Y.
Is there any way to troubleshoot shoot this to make it compatible?
Here’s my current setup:
Check behind your thermostat for extra wires. Also show a picture of the furnace

Here’s the wiring in the furnace. I’ll have to check behind the thermostat for an extra wire later, but I’m pretty sure there wasn’t anything extra when I installed the current one. Thanks for the feedback though I appreciate it.
You’d need to run new wire from your furnace to your thermostat location it order for the wyze to work. You need at least 4 wires, preferably 5 in order to run both air conditioning and heat from a wyze thermostat. Where is the black wire that is connected to G going? Normally, this is connected to your thermostat.

I’ll check it out when I get home. If I need a fourth wire would you know where I’d be connecting to?
The fourth wire would connect to C on both ends, or you could use the C wire adapter to enable fan control. If you had 5 wires, you would connect G and C from the furnace to the thermostat to enable fan control without the C-adapter.
I am having trouble with my new thermostat. I am replacing a nest thermostat with the following wiring setup.
It works just fine. I duplicated it on the Wyze and nothing. I swapped the RC to RH and it turned on but when the furnace kicked on it ran for over a half hour and the furnace was getting warm to the touch and that has never happened before.
What did I do wrong?
Do you feel air blowing from your vents when it is heating? Check your wyze app in settings>advanced for fan delay, and make sure it is set to 0 seconds.
