Two stage thermostat

I have radiant floor heat (domestic H/W) and hot water baseboard(boiler).I'm looking for a thermostat that would work the two heat stages (1st stage would be radiant heat,2 stage the BB H/W).For the second stage,this thermostat will only control the BB HW zone for this floor(separate pump).The thermostat can have air condition setting but will not use it(no central air).Honeywell if I have a choice.Any suggestion.

    Specifically the TH5220, which is a digital, non-programable, 2-stage thermostat, that you can go into the installer set-up and make it a 2 stage heating only model.

    any two stage thermostat can do what you want, but a relay needs to be installed in one of the systems to isolate it from the other.

    I've used Branburn two stage thermostat, easy to hook up and set up. Nice readout panel.. Yes, I used the relay panel for entire 5 zones and temps heating system in this sorched air home...

    I tried this at my house

    I tried this at my house using radiant as the first stage and a hydroair as the second stage. I didn't like it and changed to two separate thermostats. The temperature differential between stages made the house too cold in colder weather. The radiant is better in cold weather and the hydroair is better in mild weather.
