    Anyone have the old “ green wire” problem? I did. The hack was pretty easy on YouTube and after about 5 minutes changing wiring positions on the propane furnace motherboard, the Nest works flawlessly! Don’t let stories like this stop ya!

      Wow, I hope my story doesn’t seem like I’m trying to stop anyone from doing anything. If nothing else I hope reading my story is empowering to others!

      Also I’ve never heard of the “old green wire” problem, maybe you can add some details if it might help others?
