if you've recently bought a sensi Wi-Fi programmable thermostat from Emerson you're in luck we're going to walk you through the physical installation so the first thing you definitely want to do is turn off power to your thermostat it may not reflect that in display because like mine it's battery-powered but definitely make sure that your heat and a/c is shut off and powered down so the first thing you want to do is remove the faceplate from your old thermostat this is the old thermostat that came with my house so I'm just going to snap off the faceplate so that's done just set that aside the next thing you want to do is to get a picture of the layout of your wiring if for some reason it doesn't work out with your new thermostat compatibility and you want to put the old one back on it's really helpful as a handy guide just to make sure you can find your way back so after you've done that you'll want to just unscrew and remove the existing wires I already unscrewed them just for simplicity sake but just take a little a little screwdriver if you loosen those the wires will come right out the next step is to just remove the base the base plate here so that's pretty straightforward this this one comes out really easily then we'll just unscrew this one so something I sometimes recommend if you're worried about your wiring falling back into your wall just wrap the wires around a pencil or something it's a good place holder if you're trying to do something in between I need to take a break so I'm gonna grab the base plate for my thermostat over here alright so the next step is to just feed the wires through the Scentsy base plate line it up with the holes conveniently mine lines up perfectly so I don't need a power drill or anything this kind of ID really and then just add in your screws here so I'm gonna screw this in and it comes with a level which makes it really nice another thing I want to think about is you know like mine here you can see the original paint that was behind the old thermostat so you might have to do some touching up along the way but it's not - not too bad so the next step is to just attach reattach the wires basically this layout is a little different but it's labeled so you want to put your RH and the RH port screw that down same with all the others you'll want to screw those back in another thing if I didn't mention it you'll want to go to sensei's website and just check compatibility there's a chance that your original wiring isn't compatible with this one but fortunately mine was so that makes it really simple the final step really is just to snap the faceplate back on these usually just kind of line them up the right way they should pop on fairly easily fortunately the the faceplate in this case is larger than the baseplate so it actually does cover up all that paint so I don't really have to do anything but that's it that's your kind of step by step to installing the Emerson sensi Wi-Fi programmable thorough set
