It really couldn't be more simple... https://youtu.be/dHKD-9uI24I

You just label the wires with where they're plugged in now, and then put the same wires into the same spots on the nest base.

The nest E thermostat only has a Y1, G, R, W1, C, and O/B wires. There's not a direct comparison to be made with my current thermostat. In addition, I dont have a jumper wire for my nest nor is one likely to fit due to the tiny terminal holes on the nest E thermostat. It isn't straight forward, at all.

I know with the other nest you don't need to jumper rh and rc. It handles that internally. I would just put that wire into R. The other wires are the same.

The configuration you're suggesting didn't work, it's the first thing I tried in late December and I'm revisiting it now.

Although I'm starting to think the issue wasn't with the wiring of the Nest E but might just be with the HVAC system to begin with because I'm testing the old thermostat now and it still keeps running the internal blower when I don't want it to
