VerifiedGood afternoon,
The iComfort thermostat is a proprietary communicating control (so sends data through those connections to control the unit), a standard thermostat acts like a switch that turns on and off voltages to relays. As such they are not easily interchangeable.
It is possible if your equipment supports legacy (24volt) connections AND you are willing to do a substantial amount of work to run new thermostat wires as your temporary thermostat may need 7-8 wires.
In short I would not recommend trying to do this, a mistake could easily have you buying more parts to fix a burnt transformer or more.
Sorry to bear difficult news and I hope your replacement comes quickly - It may be better to pay for expedited shipping over trying to rig it up.
Best of luck and please rate me positively for taking the time to answer your question.
Paul.
