Hopefully you can see al the wiring in this picture. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bgfbp1v1kgo1plb/IMG_1567.JPG?dl=0

So I traced the wire back into the unit. Only two wires from that line are actually connected. The red wire and the white wire. Red connects to a yellow line and the white wire connects to a blue line. See picture below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9haxr363p4s7mwt/IMG_1565.JPG?dl=0

Im afraid I dont understand this question. The only reason why I know there is a blue wire is because of the picture below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/495rnpu3vp72y1l/IMG_1561.JPG?dl=0 Other than that that blue wire is not connected to anything.

Its just one red wire coming into the base from the wall. The other red looks like a jumper. it only connects the red wire to that one terminal and then the other terminal. Dont know why I did it like that 10 years ago. I probably just copied the original wiring from the first thermostat. The blue wire connects to nothing.

I have taken pictures of my current wiring. I have a blue wire which I was told by smarthome that the blue would be the common wire. But as you can tell by the picture im not using it. The thermostat im using now is a 10 year old one which I installed when i replaced generic thermostat that the builder put in. Im guessing that generic thermostat didnt need the blue wire and so didnt the one i bought to replace it which was battery operated. Thanks in advance. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8lnf7qumj1abqi/IMG_1560.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/495rnpu3vp72y1l/IMG_1561.JPG?dl=0

When I get back home im actually out of town. I will take a pic of the wiring and post it. To see if you guys see anything that might be of interest. Thanks

Thanks everybody for the replies. I will look into each one that was posted.

I just purchased a ISY994iZW. I was told buy the sales agent that he prefers insteon when it comes to switches and stuff but when it came to thermostats and sensors he prefers z-wave. I been to the z-wave website and they have a bunch of thermostats but I want to make sure that when I buy one I can control it with my ISY994iZW. Can anyone recommend a decent thermostat. I live in south florida. My home is exactly 10 years old. Dont know If I have the common wire which gives the power i guess. Thanks in advance

Thanks guys for the help

I see. I just dont want to go through the hassle of mounting that into the concrete

So are you saying that the one above will work?

Thanks. But I already mounted my sensor above the garage door and do not want to have to run sensor and mount it into the concrete. I found this one Amazon and i think it will do the trick and all i would have to do is swap out the sensors i have now. Please let me know if the item below will work. It has 3 connections to it. Megatronix - MGT - Magnetic Reed Switch, Normally Open (N/O) And Normally Closed (N/C) - Ideal For Doors, Windows, Garages, Gates, Truck Beds, Etc http://www.amazon.com/Megatronix-Magnetic-Normally-Windows-Garages/dp/B0010F0086/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1353822455&sr=8-2&keywords=normally+open+magnetic+switch

I too have the same problem with the "Current State" set to on when the door is closed. I did the "Trigger Reverse" and it did work up until 3am when it ran the "Query All" and it would trigger my program into thinking the doors were open. Ngeren. Did the new sensor help the problem? If it did let me know I and I will purchase it also. Thanks in advance.
