    Wiring a Honeywell RTH230B
    I just bought the Honeywell RTH230B to replace my old Tempstar T874 thermostat. I have 6 wires connected to the old one labeled R Y W G B O. The new one only has up to a 5 wire connection. My furnace and air conditioner are both electric. I found the wiring diagram to the old one, but I don't know where the old one goes. Here is the layout for the old one.
    B- Heating Damper Motor; Changeover valve
    W- Stage 1 heating control
    G- Fan relay coil
    R- Power connection to transformer
    O- Cooling Damper Motor; Changeover valve
    Y- Stage 1 Cooling Control

    The new one
    RH
    RC
    Y
    W
    G

    Any help would be great, thanks.

    The thermostat you have will not work for a 2 stage heat pump system.

    It does not have a change over provision.

    Any suggestions on a programmable thermostat that would work?

    Any 8000 series Honeywell. OR a good quality thermostat that will have a two stage heat set up.
