Radiant Heating - The search for a good thermostat/hub

Member Posts: 10
I am installing 3 zones of radiant heat in my 1300 square foot house. I'd like to control the temperature for each zone separately via wifi in addition to at least one main "hub". This way I can monitor my home if I'm away. I came across the Honeywell Evohome but it is out of my budget.
Is there a good affordable option on the market yet? Kinda like Nest for multiple zone radiant heating?
Thanks!

One could use the Nest, or Ecobee. However, keep in mind that radiant heating is not intended to be turned up and turned down like forced air might be. It needs to be kept at a reasonably constant temperature at all times, being turned down only for extended (days) periods of no occupancy. That is because it takes a long time to change temperature -- even a three degree setback can take a day to recover from. The primary control should be slab sensors working in conjunction with space thermostats.
So you would have to disable all the occupancy spy functions...Br. Jamie, osb
