Put a wifi thermostat on the shop furnace so I can turn it up before I come outside to stumble around, lose things, and not work.
can't get the blower to work. new 'stat needs a C wire and would not work off the oil controller. semi expected.
Previously, I had triggered a 24vac relay to energize a 120v outlet using the existing low voltage from the oil controller and that worked great.
Using the same G wire (typically fan control) and the new stat, with separate thermostat power (using Rh and C) it doesn't energize the fan.
if I bridge R to G the fan comes on. it won't go with the thermostat though. the pins on the back don't do exactly as I expect but god forbid an actual wiring diagram is published for someone trying to make things control things they shouldn't lol
might have to keep an old stat around to run that fan, or tie it into the furnace blower. otherwise it'll only heat the old side of the shop and not the new side...
