Thank you so much for this video. I've never done anything remotely close to this in my life. The only mistake I made was drilling 2 holes on top and 1 one bottom. Oh well I added the large faceplate to cover my mistakes and the holes from previous thermostat. 1st electrical thing I've ever done. I will be doing more. Oh yeah I'm a 60 year old woman.

What if I have several more wires? Do they plug into the other letters? I have yellow, green, red, White, blue(c), e(gray), orange, plus a pink black and brown that aren’t hooked up.

I was able to pop my honeywell thermo out and put the amazon one in its place. Exact same internal box. But i did end up switching because the backplate was different and You could see the screws. But if you have a Honeywell check and see if it matches. The Amazon is made by honeywell. Could literally take you 1 minute to change it, counting flipping the fuse

@Jasonmbartley its because it's a multi zone system most likely. I have not figured out the work around yet. I just get "doesn't support that". Works fine from the phone and worked when I set it up.

The c wire is the blue wire, not every HVAC install has it because it's not always necessary. You'll see that it's run anyway in a lot of newer setups cause it doesn't really hurt anything for it to be hanging out in the wall if it not being used

In _theory_ you should be able to just use the existing Honeywell T-Series wall plate (since this thermostat appears to use Honeywell's UWP), but YMMV.
