tekmar Communicating and Zoning Controls

Love how everyone is multi-tasking (on calls, talking to others, even watching TV) when he takes everyone off mute. 😂

This is a really good video; I have watched a bunch of them before making the decision to buy a Tekmar, but found this video after my decision. I'm going ahead with 3x 564, and 5x 561, attached to new IBL SLC, and 3x Life Breath AHU. I hopeful that the installer knows how to set this all up propertly. I think I like the idea of the room response. Overall, I learned a great deal about this system, and feel much more comfortable with my decision. The biggest reason for me was I have a Honeywell IAQ, but I could never find anyone who knew enough about the IAQ, Boiler and AHU setup - so always ginger pointing - hoping the tekmar unifies the support for the complete system. I had two AHU X10 of the 3 motors die and decided to bite the bullet and change out the complete system. Not to mention I have a Munchkin boiler that has been giving me grief for years that I was just fed up with and decided to do one entire new system. Hopefully, it pays off.

I have radiant heat with 4 zones. Will I need to install 4 Invita 564s in this case?

[@FIA_Inc]

Yes you will need one for each zone.

I know this video isn't directed at me as the end user but I went down a retrofitting rabbit hole and ended up here after the this old house video. It does seem like targeting the homeowners directly, especially the 45-50 and younger homeowners who are probably a little more tech savvy, might be worthwhile? I had no idea tekmar even existed but this system is awesome. My only question is similar to Keith's. I have 3 different thermostats in the house that control either baseboard heating or radiant, do they all get replaced with smart thermostats that tie into one blue box or you just need the one controller and replace the other old thermostats with temp sensors and everything get controlled from one screen? Edit: nvm, should've watched the whole video first!

Glad you were able to learn about tekmar!
