2 thermostats controlling the same circulator

Need advice. I’m re-piping a hydronic system that is being ran by a Polaris water heater so I’m using a plate type heat exchanger to separate the domestic and the hydronic piping. I have a pump on either side of the heat exchange and I have 2 zone pumps for floor heat and for an air handler. 4 pumps in total. I need the thermostats to be able to turn the 2 primary pumps on when there’s a call for heat on either zone. If i hookup the thermostats to a typical zone control then when 1 thermostat calls it would send power to the other thermostat causing both zones to run. Is there something I can install so when 1 thermostat calls it won’t send power to the thermostat that isn’t calling? Thanks for any info.

    See the attached drawing.

    Easy to do and it should do what you need. Two relays and a transformer are probably $100 or less zone controls will cost much more and do nothing

    1 mistake on the drawing. The coil wires shown as "Blue" should be blue & white

    A SPDT Rib relay and a transformer should work...
