Q: How do I use the YoLink YS4003 thermostat to control a 2-wire heating or cooling system?
A: To control a 2-wire heating or cooling system with the YoLink YS4003 thermostat, follow these steps:

For a 2-wire heating system:

a. Set the Hp/Gas switch to the Gas position.
b. Ensure you have a 24VAC power supply. Connect one wire from the power supply to the C terminal and the other wire to the R terminal.
c. Connect one wire from your existing 2-wire heating system to the R terminal (along with the 24VAC wire) and the other wire to the W terminal.

For a 2-wire cooling system:
a. Set the Hp/Gas switch to the Gas position.
b. Ensure you have a 24VAC power supply. Connect one wire from the power supply to the C terminal and the other wire to the R terminal.
c. Connect one wire from your existing 2-wire cooling system to the R terminal (along with the 24VAC wire) and the other wire to the Y terminal.
Q: My YoLink thermostat is stuck in a power-on loop, the display keeps blinking, and I can't make any selections or factory reset. What should I do?
A: If your YoLink thermostat is stuck in a power-on loop with a blinking display, try connecting only the R and C terminals to check if the thermostat continues to blink. If the issue persists, contact YoLink customer support for further assistance.
Q: I placed an X3 temperature and humidity sensor next to my YS4003 Thermostat but their temperature readings don't match. Why is this?
A: The temperature discrepancy you're experiencing between the thermostat and the X3 temperature and humidity sensor could be attributed to the physical characteristics of the thermostat. Its temperature sensor is located inside the unit which is against the wall and can produce a small amount of heat from its LCD display. This results in a slower response to temperature changes compared to the X3 sensor which could cause a difference of a few degrees. Both sensors in the thermostat and the X3 temperature meter are identical and very accurate, reflecting the real temperature at their respective locations.
