Where do you live? What type of unit do you have?
I just got the Meross Smart thermostat running. (The installer literally just left 10 minutes ago.) I had to call an HVAC person to help me install it because I didn't have the wiring setup properly for a wifi thermostat.
Maybe call an HVAC company and tell them you want to install a smart thermostat, but you're unsure if your system is compatible. (Maybe they can do some HVAC maintenance while they're in there too.)
