    Installing a 3M30 Thermostat in an older home NEED Help!
    So I just bought a older home with an old sliding honeywell thermostat and I want to install a programmable 3M30. I only have the black & white wire in the wall and the instructions talk about all these different wires. I only have the black & white - not sure what to do? What do I do? Does this thermostat work with just two wires or do I need to buy another one?
