I have a heat pump with 8kwh emergency heat system. The wires are connected how I believe they should be. I even chatted with a neighbor who is an HVAC tech. He didn’t come over because I didn’t want to inconvenience him, so we just texted back and forth.
I’m currently good because I skipped past the error and have a nice cool house, I just want to see if there is something I could do to get emergency heat running. I added a screebshot that shows the missing wire message and that is how I have it wired up.
If I remember correctly you have to try a couple times then it will eventually give you a skip option. I wish someone had more insight into this error. I don’t need my heater often living in Florida, but it will suck when I do and can’t use it.
Emergency heat on the wyze is generally pretty terrible, it’s either on or off, and turning it on disables temperature control. With that said, I can show you how to enable it, if you have a picture of your old thermostat and your current wyze wiring
As your furnace is not currently wired up for an aux input, you have 2 options. Either string a jumper from the white (W1) wire to the * port on your wyze so that both W1 and * are both fed by the white wire, or uncoil the black wire from your thermostat and attach it to * on the wyze, then uncoil this black wire in your furnace
and attach it to W2 on your furnace terminal block. Either way, you are simply creating a path between * on the wyze and the W2 terminal strip. To enable Emergency heat, you will need to reset your wyze thermostat and re - add it, telling it that your “old thermostat” has the following wires: Rc, W1, Y1, G, C, O, and E.
