Taco ZVC404 and R8285A

I have a weil mclain cg5 boiler. Older style, with Honeywell R8285A controls.  I have 3 zone valves, but original owner never had a zone controller... just manually left all zones open. One circulator.  Two Tstats.

So to add the Taco, using attached diagram for reference, I believe I just:

1) move tstats to tstat side of taco.
2) connect zone valves to corresponding zone side of taco.
3) connect from R8285 (where tstats used to go to R and G) and connect to Taco Boiler Isolated End Switch.  And just let the R8285 do what it always did, control boiler, circulator, exhaust flap, etc...

Please confirm.

    Yes, yes and, yes.
    I love those zone controllers, they clean up the wiring and make troubleshooting simple.
