Can I install a Honeywell T6 Pro w/this wiring?

[kahn-hubitat]

spares. t6 pro can only be battery operated for non zwave or wifi versions as far as i know,. my t6 pro wifi versions i just installed in our condos have no batteries.

Hmmm...my T6 Pro definitely does have batteries in it, has been running on them for months...

Saw that, but if I have the blue at both ends looks like it should be simple to connect that between the tstat and the furnace panel...(famous last words.)

Correct

T6-pro z-wave can be run on batteries regardless, I even paired mine just on batteries.

[kahn-hubitat]

Wifi version.

This confused us, I think...sounded like you were saying that Z-Wave could not be run on batteries.

Z-wave

That's how I took it

I just assumed it was same as wifi . So my bad. Guess wifi needs more power. No hubs in our condos . But the community app works anyway.

Today turned into too busy a day to do the switch/programming, etc., but I did have time to confirm that the blue wire is present at the tstat location, so the C-Wire option looks all good.

This whole conversation reminds me that I forgot to have the HVAC guys who did the work on my remodel re-confirm for me that the pump was wired up correctly by the guys who did the pump replacement. Rats...

I'm no expert as this is the first I've heard of a condensate switch, living where I live (20% humidity atm) but from the article I linked:

@Bryan

Finally, there is a dispute over whether to break the “R” circuit or the “Y” circuit with the switch. It is generally recognized that breaking R is a better practice to prevent short-cycling unless the system has another dedicated method for condensate switch connection.

And for extra kicks and grins you could put a Zen17 in the feedback circuit and monitor the switch in real time.

Please say hello to your neighbors in Death Valley for me.

Thanks for the additional info. So mine breaks the Y circuit, which means I might be crossing the streams...I may send a pic to the HVAC guy who updated the fan motor on my unit and ask his remote-opinion and see if he's willing to assess from a distance. I haven't noticed any short-cycle issues, though we use the AC so infrequently (we rely mostly on whole-house fan) that I might not have enen noticed.
