OK ... I know this has been discussed before, but ...
I have an Elk, and now I am ready to buy a thermostat. I have only 1 zone so I only need one tstat.
I understand that these are my choices:
HAI
RCS TR16
RCS TR40
AprilAire 8870 + 8811 + 8818 (needs protocol adapter and control unit)
Right now I am leaning toward RCS TR16, mainly because:
1. I actually like the minimalist styling.
2. The other messages that can be displayed on the TR40 can just as easily be displayed on elk keypads. What other advantages does the TR40 bring?
3. AprilAire gets expensive once you buy the additional parts.
I haven't researched the HAI option in great detail. Any advantage to these?
Any opinions?
Another questions ... I know I don't need multizones, but what exactly is a two-stage tstat, as in:
