Hello if I wanted to use my M1 Gold system only for heat control and nothing else what would be the best way to setup the rules? I have 8 rooms but lets say 3 for an example rooms with M1ZTS’s installed on Zones 1-3 and I have 3 hot water circulation pumps connected to a M1XOVR output 31,32,33 going to each room.
What do you think the best approach for this would be? I currently setup 6 different rules to check every 45 seconds. 2 for each room:
WHENEVER EVERY 45 SECONDS
AND Zn1ACTUAL TEMPATURE IS LESS THAN 70 DEG F
THEN TURN Out 31 ON
WHENEVER EVERY 45 SECONDS
AND Zn1 ACTUAL TEMPATURE IS GREATER THAN 70 DEG F
THEN TURN Out 31 OFF
This seems to work but wondering if there is a better way to do this. Could the system possibly miss a check since all the rules are firing at the same time? Should the temps be 70 and 71 instead of both 70 if that is the target temperature?
Would it be better to set this up checking if the zone is secure or not instead of firing every 45 seconds? If so then would it just rely on if the system is armed or not?
Thank you in advance for any help, this project fell into my lap so im slowly learning as much as I can.
