Hello,
When adding some Temp/Humidity Sensors to my system, I wanted to add one to the upstairs hall. The though occurred to me that I could add another Omnistat 2000 Thermostat I have laying around as it has a Temp/Humidity Sensor. That said, I only have one HVAC Unit downstairs with an Omnistat 2000 Thermostat. I suspect I could add the second thermostat with no HVAC unit attached as long as I provide it power from the transformer, then the unit could be brought into the plug-in as a secondary thermostat with the serial cable. The only part I would need confirmation of is whether the setpoints could be copied from one thermostat to the other via events, etc. I would want to make sure that when the upstairs level is set to 68 for AC that the downstairs would change to that as well. The point being that the upstairs unit would obviously not be the controlling unit so the Temp doesn't necessarily mean the unit activates when the setpoint exceeds the mark but could it set/show status of the primary thermostat?
Basically a remote head for the primary downstairs unit.....I just am not sure if the API is limited and there is something that cannot be reflected in this scenario.
Any confirmed info is appreciated!
Thanks,
