Upgrading to wireless thermostat for TACO ZVC406 Zone controller

Hi there. I would like to re-locate the basic thermostat for one of my radiant floor zones but it will be very difficult to run a wire to a new location. My thermostat connection to the controller is super-simple, just 2-wire (Red & White). Isn't there some sort of wireless thermostat, that I could put wherever I wanted, that could connect to a "base station" (or equivalent) that I could mount next to the controller and then wire it to the 2 terminals for that zone control, thus bypassing the old thermostat and associated wire? Any help would be appreciated, I'm baffled by the array of products that are out there and they all seem to be overkill.

Honeywell's RedLINK uses 900 MHz, which goes through walls far better than 2.4 GHz WiFi does (and orders of magnitude better than 5.8 GHz WiFi.)
I've used them twice and they are profoundly reliable and moderately expensive.
For up to 3 zones:
1 - Honeywell YTH6320R1023 kit [includes 1 thermostat and 1 wireless adapter (small panel)].
- Honeywell TH6320R1004 additional thermostats.
1 - Honeywell HZ322K zone panel (large panel)

Yes Alan they just keep working. Put in a fresh set of batteries every so many years. Done. The new T series stats have me all buggered up though. I’ve been doing Ecobee. Total cake0

Thanks so much for your helpful responses!0

I have yet to try the Ecobee stats. Are they better than Nest? I don't particularly like the Nest stats. Seems to me that when you buy such a high-falutin device, it should be able to accurately read the temperature, no?GW said:Yes Alan they just keep working.

I haven’t done a bunch maybe10. No concerns yet. Nest seems good too but Ecobee seems to be a faster set up0

You can use wireless thermostat
The ZVC control will have the receiver connected and powered by the control, and your transmitter will use batteries.
Pretty straight forward.
