In this segment of the video, the demonstration involves installing a smart thermostat. The backer plate is levelled and secured to the wall. Wires are matched up with a picture taken earlier and inserted into their respective terminals (R, Y, G, W, and C). The smart thermostat is then mounted on the base plate after inserting batteries. After restoring power and setting up the app, the installation process is completed. The thermostat screen’s appearance may differ on camera due to lighting effects, but it functions like a clear alarm clock or calculator display.
