Hello, I am new to the site and new to HA. That being said, I am trying to get spun up on HA and HAI (omnipro2, HTX, HIFI2, etc) as much as I can. I have read much advice on this site and thought it be best that I finally join.
I do have a question. I am building a new home. It will have a 3 zoned, geothermal heating system, with central air, & humidifier. I will be installing Omnistat2's in each zone (upstairs, main floor, and basement). They will be wired by the HVAC guys, other than the wiring back to the OP2. I went in today and prewired, but was unsure what to run for the thermostats, so after a quick call to a "buddy", he advised that I should just run a CAT6 from the upstairs OS, to the main floor OS, to the basement OS, and back to the panel. So it is running in parallel, daisy chained, back to the panel. After getting home, I was reading on hear and it is sounding like I may only need 3 wires of the Cat6 (better too many than too little!). Can anyone on here advise exactly how this system should be wired.
My end state goals:
-to be able to control each zone from that zone's Omnistat2.
-to be able to control each zone from each Omnitouch 5.7e
-to be abel to control each zone from my iphone utilizing snap link.
So, being brand new to all this, im a little lost. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
