Does Amazon Smart Thermostat Work with My System?

The Amazon Smart Thermostat isn't compatible with certain types of heat pumps or HVAC systems.

Check for heat pump compatibility:

  • The Amazon Smart Thermostat only works with air-to-air and geothermal heat pumps.
  • The thermostat doesn't work with heat pumps that have a backup gas/oil furnace (commonly referred to as a "dual fuel" system).
  • The thermostat only works with a C/Common-wire.
    • Sometimes, a C-wire saver or adapter will work if a C-wire isn't present. We recommend using the C-Wire Adapter most compatible with the Amazon Smart Thermostat.

Check for HVAC system compatibility using either option:

  • Refer to the Amazon Smart Thermostat Quick Start Guide's "Most Common HVAC Types" reference.
  • Go to the Amazon Smart Thermostat product page and search for the "Compatibility information" box. Select "Check compatibility" to go through the compatibility checker.
