How to connect new thermostat to ducted heating and swamp cooler
Hello.
I have a swamp (evaporative) cooler and ducted heater which have both been connected to the same thermostat remote control, a Bonaire Comfort Control remote.
The remote control has now broken, and I would like to connect both units to a new thermostat.
The wires available to connect to a new thermostat are brown, red, orange and yellow.
I was interested in purchasing a basic Honeywell system, however the wiring diagrams make no allowance for a brown wire (see picture). The retailer does not believe joint wiring on the Honeywell is a possibility.
In fact, I havent found any thermostats that make allowances for brown wires, other than the original Comfort Control remote, which is no longer produced.
I dont know what the brown wire is for specifically.
Has anyone had this same issue before? How to resolve it?
Thank you.

Hi Ingrid,
Did you have any luck figuring this out? I have a similar problem and trying to avoid a huge bill from the heating company!
Thanks

Sorry no. :-( Bonaire won't supply the wiring diagrams, and can't find any more info on the net. They also have no spare parts. Cheapest option will probably be to purchase a refurbished remote.

@ingrids don't mean to resurrect your question if you have given up on it or just lost interest. I was wondering if you have a model number for the Bonaire as well as the cooler and the heater.

For anyone who ends up here, the voltages on the cable I have in my house (same as the first picture) seem to suggest that it is a USB interface (Ground, Data, Data, 5V). More work is required.
