Helluva Time Wiring New Thermostat

I spent a good part of the day trying to move over to a web based thermostat that controls my doors. There are three wires that are on my old mechanical thermostat. A white, blue, and red. I was under the understanding that the red would be a common, and the blue was for NO and the white NC. I have only tried wiring to the first relay on page 9 of this user manual.

Here is a photo of the wiring schematic on the old mechanical thermostat:

Any ideas on this?
 
Are you sure there were 3 wires coming off your old t-stat? Normally there are only 2...There are three contacts and you only use 2...1 is common and you select 1 of the other 2 contacts depending on whether you want to make or break on temperature rise.

This is the way that all of my old thermostats worked as well.
 
It would help to know what you're trying to connect to what. Where do the wires from your old thermostat go now? I assume you got a digital temperature sensor too?
 
Thanks for your responses. Sorry if the post was too vague. I was able to figure it out. The temperature module from controlbyweb.com had some conflicting info in it's manual and schematics and I wasn't wiring the "red" common wire to the correct pin on their controller. This device seems cool. I can control my doors from home and monitor bay temp. Too early to give it five stars but if it holds up, it should be great!
