Tekmar 508 to 561 Thermostat install.

For my single stage radiant heating system, I'm replacing some incredibly difficult to use Tekmar thermostats with some easier to use Tekmar 561 wifi thermostats. In the master, I have successfully replaced a Tekmar 512 with the 561. In the main living area, I'm struggling to go from Tekmar 508 to the 561.
508 has C, R, S1 (sensor 1), S2 (sensor 2), 1 green heat wire and 1 red heat bridge to R
561 has C, R, Away, RH1, W1, SEN/COM, S1, S2
This is what I have:
C to C
R to R
R to RH1
S1 to S1
S2 to S2
Green to ? - in the master, I have wires for both away and w1. I've tried both with no luck.
Thermostat powers on and reads temp but doesn't switch on/off heating.
Any ideas on what I should do?
