I have a omnistat rc-2000 HAI thermostat to control my hvac. Apparently the omniproll knows when this thermostat calls for heat, but I assume the older RC-80 does not act the same way.
I thought I would use the old thermostat to control the fireplace with an automation block that says "when the RC-80 tstat is heating, turn on fireplace relay" which is hooked up to the fireplace switch, but I dont think the omniproll knows when the rc-80 is "heating"
The RC-80 is communicating with the omniproll as I see the temp, setpoints and outdoor temp in software, but I will need some advice how to connect a relay to the rc-80 to close the fireplace switch.
I have 24 VAC supplied from the omniproll panel to the R and C connections on the rc-80, and the data cables hooked up and working.
I am unsure where to put the 24 vac relay. Am I correct that when the tstat calls for heat it will send 24vac out of one of the terminals?
Does anyone know how to help me solve this, or have a better way to do this?
