Yesterday, I did *not* install a new baseboard thermostat when I realized I wasn’t sure what all the wires did. I spent nearly two hours figuring out I did NOT know enough.
I bought a different thermostat today that correctly described the wiring connection, and either I had the wrong one yesterday or had a bad wiring diagram for 240V.
Installed the new one and got it on HomeKit in < 10 minutes. Patience, rewarded! (And no need to call an emergency electrician.)
