FWIW, i took out my Carrier thermo, and put in an Aprilaire to control my carrier infinity. That means either the M1 or CQC can control the HVAC.
And if I hadn't screwed up the wiring when I moved the thermo, I might still be able to control it
That's correct. And Carrier has two lines that work with them. It is just their highest end unit, Infinity, which has a special connection that requires their thermostat. For example, HAI has a thermstat that works just about every heat pump but not Inifinity. I confirmed this at CEDIA. So one has to use the serial port and communicate with it that way. It is not a big loss except that one has to write a driver as only Crestron and AMX exists at this point.Not sure about the specifics of a Carrier heat pump, but most of the automated thermostat manufacturers sell versions that work with heat pumps.
Only one at a time, but my goal was to get the Elk to have primary control, then CQC can control the Elk which controls the HVAC so that way it's "both" kinda sorta.IVB,
How did you make it so that M1 and CQC can control the HVAC? Or is it one at a time and you need to switch the serial cable from one to the other, or perhpas you're really slick and have a A/B switch box for this which is in turn controller by the elk?
Well, you can't find that part because it has been renamed to SYSTXCCRCT01. Actually, there is another version which seems to be for zone control: SYSTXCCUIZ01--B . But don't expect to find anything on Carrier site. Whoever is in charge of these products from planning to production, doesn't seem to understand what it takes to sell them. I mean how hard can it be to list the darn thing on their web site?I have the carrier infinity system with three zone and I want to hook it up to my automation software, I was also told I need SYSTXCCSAMCAT501 module, but I can't seems to buy this module anywhere, I called the local carrier guys and they were not able to get one for me. Where can buy this module.
Per above, fully installed and set up: $1,500 plus tax. If I install myself, $1,100 plus tax. A little bird tells me dealer cost is $760 .How Much?
