    Trouble switching to a Lux thermostat from Lennox
    I have an old lennox thermostat that I am converting to a programmable lux thermostat.
    I have followed the wiring directions and nothing is working. Looking for a little help please.

    The old thermostat had O-Orange R- Red G-Green Y1- Yellow L-Tan T-Black W1- White C-Blue and a red wire that looked to go to the service light.

    I wired the new thermostat:
    o-Orange
    B-Empty
    G-Green
    Y-Yellow
    Jumper RC to RH with the Red wire on RC
    W2- White
    C- Blue
    Jumper from Y to W1.

    The terminals on the furnace have 2 reds going to R, White to W1 Green and yellow to G and Y and two blues going to C. W2 is empty.

    Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Which lux are you using? Didn't it have wiring directions with it? What type of furnace or boiler do you have? Mechanical Thermostat | Digital Thermostat | Programmable
