BrettB0727 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hi,I was curious to know if the CCZ-T1-W thermostat worked like a normal thermostat when not connected to a Control4 controller?I am considering wiring it up tonight, but I have not received my controller yet. I guess it might need to work like a normal thermostat for fail safe reasons incase your controller went down?Thanks,Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Rizal Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 YES, it will work like a normal thermostat. I did the same thing waiting for my dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henniae Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks for the info. I will hopefully try swapping my thermostats out tonight then.I suggest that you use a common wire for power and not power stealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 More than "suggest" you must have a common wire. I learned the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
servpro Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 More than "suggest" you must have a common wire. I learned the hard way.What happened?I also had to pull it out and wait until I could get a chance to look at it again. Mine went through two batteries in 6 days. The scary part was it would freeze up when it was dying even though the LCD was lit it would freeze leaving my system on. Luckily I was home, it was cranking out the heat and I was "what the heck" so I killed the power and took it off and replaced it with the old one. Hopefully I will be able to fix it this weekend. I miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettB0727 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Okay, so I swapped my thermostat out finally and for once the wiring in my house was straight forward. I have a gas single stage. There was a green, white, yellow, and red wire, and I wired it up just like the diagram, and just like my previous thermostat was wired up. However, the new thermostat is not showing anything on the display. What is the best way to test and see if the thermostat is working? and any other suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If you have both heat and cooling, you *might* get by with using the "power-stealing" setting. If you have heat-only, then you need the common wire to provide power anytime the thermostat calls for heat (at those times it's basically a short across the two control wires and can't get power). If you didn't have the common wire, that $10 battery will last about 2-3 weeks. And then you'll have a blank display.If you aren't able to use power stealing (or aren't configured for it) and your display is blank, your almost certainly have a dead battery. Or worse.If you did have a common wire hooked up and you left the switch in power-stealing mode, you probably have a fried thermostat if the display is blank. If you'd like to see a fried thermostat, I have one I can send you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow. Is that the first version of the thermostat? Mine have a slide switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettB0727 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow. Is that the first version of the thermostat? Mine have a slide switch.It is a C4-TSTATM-Z-W. It also does not have the slider on the bottom, and it didn't help that the paper shield was flipped over to make it even more confusing. I'll post some more pics when I get home tonight...
