Wireless T-stat

Paul48

I would like to add a wireless thermostat in  the house, but can't find 24v common on the Honeywell L8124 A/C aquastat.I need the 24v to power the module.Thanks for any help you can provide.

By the way, Honeywell bailed on this question, when asked about their wireless thermostat connected to their aquastat. I was told to seek professional help, because aquastats were designed to be installed by professionals.Even though the question was regarding installing a thermostat(their thermostat).

T and T (existing thermostat connection)



one is 24 v hot (r) and other is 24 v (w) and common all at once.



You wont be able to use the wireless without a separate transformer to power the device



What to you need wireless for?

re:wireless

I need to move the thermostat. Its current position is not good. I figured wireless would save me the trouble of fishing wires,and allow me to experiment with different locations. I could power it with another transformer,but then how would I switch the relay in the aquastat.

Wiring Wireless:

If you are a "Professional", Honeywell would have helped you. You must have asked the wrong questions.

Their "Red Hat" system works very well. I've installed their wireless thermostats on a museum like old house where there was no way to run wires. A Rib Wireless Relay wouldn't transmit to the floor below but the Red Hat stuff went three floors, through radiant copper coils in a ceiling.

You MUST use their transmitters. And I think that applies to most everything wireless out there. You need to use the whole system. Not just part of it.

But maybe you knew that.

Have the wireless control a relay that provides the switching for the aquastat

I installed one of these system in my house...I powered the receiver with a $10 24v transformer.
