I bought the identical thermostat shown, all I need is the four wires shown in the diagram? Where do all the remaining wires go? Does it have something to do with the new one being battery powered?
Thanks

It looks like those wires are all below the thermostat. They look like the thermostat wires and maybe something else. Dont know what they go to or their uses. It appears the extra wire may go to another devise. In your first pic looks like you took off the top portion of the thermostat. My suggestion is to follow the wires that are on the thermostat. Then compare to the wiring code I posted. Hopefully it will line up.
If they are different, color wise, my guess is Thor run out of the color wire needed and used what was on hand. The thermostat wires will be labeled on the controller. Again just follow the wire code. Only four wires are needed.
Take the extra wires and taped them individually so they cant make connection and put them in the wall behind the thermostat so they can be retrieved later if needed.
If youre not comfortable cutting the wires and experimenting do some more research. Good luck
