We have a 5 zone heating system so I was wondering which z-wave thermostat is the best?
A single Z-wave smart thermostat would not support multiple zones. Each zone would use one thermostat.
You should be able to use a model of your choice, so long as the HVAC uses standard 24VAC control. We recommend the T3000 for Z-wave thermostats. The Ecobee4/Ecobee3 Lite is a wifi option now supported in Alarm.com.
We are wonderin the new Qolsys 4 is better than the current model?
A thread on the IQ Panel 4 is found here. It is very similar to the IQ Panel 2+, with most differentiation being future potential. They have added a better speaker, and an optional sub base which significantly improves the sound, for streaming audio.
If you are going to be tabling the panel using a stand, the sub base is well-suited if you intend to get the IQ panel 4. I don’t have an ETA for availability through our store, but I imagine we should sell it in the future, and it may be available through other online vendors, and you could activate it on our website.
