    Hey Guys,
    Does anyone here know if these thermostats (5070THPRPG) The 4 zone programable thermostat, can be used to control a starndard ducted split system without being programmed or linked to a C-Bus network, i love the look of this thermostat and i have C-Bus switches throughout the house so i wanted to use this thermostat to control a Ducted Split which can be controlled with just the switching of relays, however from what i gather they need to be programmed and have a C-Bus network to them to maintain a constant time and schedule. Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    Chris

    They need to be programmed and attached to cbus. This is not for the schedule, its just so that it works.

    If you have cbus in the house already, then you can use the thermostat - and program it - BUT you DO NOT have to integrate its operation with other devices on the bus.

    The thermostats need to be connected to the C-Bus network for power as well as time sync, etc. You wouldn't need to integrate it with the rest of your network, but it would need to be wired to it.

    OK so does anyone know of a way around this or a thermostat that looks exactly like this but doesn't need the network sort of like a HVAC controller?
    Cheers

    There is nothing that looks "exactly the same".

    The way around it is to connect it... if you have cbus... just connect it.

    Reading up above at the top of this thread, you said "I have cbus switches throughout the house".

    Surely that means you have cbus installed? Am I missing something?

    They look like cBus but there just solid state devices that switch C,1,2 just like normal.

    They are not C-Bus Switches, they just look like some of them.

    The thermostat needs a C-Bus network for power etc so it would not be of use to you.
