Look for a switch located on or near your furnace. Location of the switch varies, so check the sides, rear or even in the rafters if the switch is not immediately visible. The switch will look like a standard light switch and should be flipped to the “off” position.
If you are unable to reach your furnace or air handler, or if you were unable to find the power switch, go to the main fuse box or circuit breaker and open the panel door. Inside, there will be several circuit breakers that should be labeled with the locations that each breaker feeds. Turn off the breaker for your HVAC equipment. If the breakers are not labeled, you may need to test each breaker to identify the corresponding areas of your home.
In either case, we suggest you verify that power has been turned off before proceeding with installation of your thermostat.
Yes, Vine thermostats are designed to control your heating and cooling even if you lose Wi-Fi connection. If you are running a schedule when you lose internet access, Vine will continue to run the current schedule. However, additional features such as geofencing, advanced settings, switching between schedules and automatic software updates are available in the Vine app but will not be accessible/work until the internet connection is restored.
To begin, pull the labeled wires from the wall through the center opening on the Vine base.
Next, use the provided screws and anchors to secure the thermostat base to the wall. We designed the Vine thermostat to cover most holes created by old thermostats, without having to patch walls.
Remember to use the bubble level to ensure your new thermostat is straight. To do so, simply confirm that the bubble is centered before tightening the screws and securing the thermostat base to the wall.
To remove your existing thermostat from its base, consult your original thermostat’s user manual. Most thermostats can be removed from their base by gently pulling them away from the wall. You should not pull hard enough to remove the base from the wall. If the cover does not easily detach from the base there may be a screw to remove or a button or latch to release.
Once the thermostat is removed, the thermostat base should remain fixed to the wall, with wires coming from inside the wall and attaching to the terminals. Remember, not all terminals will have a wire attached.
If you cannot see the wires coming from the wall and attaching to the terminals, you likely have an additional plate that must be removed with a screwdriver. Once the additional plate has been removed, you should see the wires coming through the wall and attaching to the terminals.
CAUTION - If you see heavy wires, wire knots or a 120 VAC label – Stop! Unfortunately, the Vine Smart Thermostat will not work on lines at this voltage. We suggest you re-attach the base and the thermostat and contact a trusted heating and cooling contractor for assistance.
If necessary, this is a good time to do any repairs or painting to the spots on your wall that will not be covered by the Vine thermostat.

A heat pump is an electrical device that extracts heat from one place and transfers it to another.
Many conventional, non-connected thermostats don’t need a “c-wire” to function. But today, most Wi-Fi thermostats have new features such as Wi-Fi radios and LED color screens that require the unit be powered at all times. Thermostats can get this constant power through a common wire or “c-wire.”
It is easy to see if you already have a c-wire connected to your system. Simply remove your current thermostat face from its baseplate and look for the terminal labeled with the letter “c.” If this terminal has a wire attached to it, you have an active “c-wire.”
Yes, Vine thermostat provide 7-day weather forecast and also provide the humidity feature.
When you’re ready, mark each existing wire using the provided wire label stickers. Simply peel off the corresponding sticker from the backing and fold it around the wire – creating a small flag.
We suggest you detach and label one wire at a time. Don’t worry if it seems your wire labels don’t match – carefully follow the in-app instructions to ensure proper labeling.
Finally, make sure wires are secure and do not fall back into the wall when the final wire is removed from your old thermostat base.
