Honeywell wireless for Taco ZVC

Bill_89-2

Greetings,



I apologise for what might seem like a dumb question.



I am designing a system using a Taco ZVC404 panel that will activate 4 valves in a manifold.



Of the various options available, it has been recommended that I can use the Honeywell system. However, I am confused about how this hooks up to the Taco panel.



If I use the Wireless Zoning Adapter Kit, YTH6320R1023, for zone control it seems to me that the Adapter will only work with the Honeywell TrueZONE panel, not the Taco ZVC404.



So, I get something like this:



==

Thermostat -> Wireless adapter -> TrueZONE panel -> valves

==



Can this happen?



==

Thermostat -> Wireless adapter ->Taco ZVC404 -> valves

==



If I use the Wireless thermostat kit, it seems that I need one kit for each zone, as the Equipment Interface Module only seems to handle one zone.



==

Thermostat -> EIM -> Taco -> valve

==



Times four?



Neither the Honeywell literature nor the Taco literature makes this clear, unless I am not too smart or I am missing something obvious.



Any insight would be appreciated.



TIA,



Bill

Honeywell Wireless W/ Taco Zone Valves:

I did something like this in an antique brick house that needed to have radiant zones split and no way to run thermostat wires. I used the Honeywell Wireless controller and wireless thermostats that fed  to a Taco ZV 503. I needed a wireless connection from the third floor to the cellar and no one made a wireless connector, Honeywell or Taco. I was told to use a Rib Wireless Relay but it didn't transmit any farther than the floor below. Possibly because of the copper coils plastered in the ceiling. But the Honeywell Wireless had no problem. I ended up finding a way to run a wire to the boiler.

What you want to do is very doable.
