Matt,
I'm assuming that you want full independant control of each zone, rather
than simply a master "on/off" which is then accepted/bypassed by
room/specific stats.)
Homevision, plus an expansion board for the relays t control the valves,
with some X-10 thermostats, would be more than capable of doing what you
want, and relatively straightforward t get working. However, it would be a
very expensive way t go, not so much because HomeVision is overpriced
(it's
not), but because X-10 thermostats are.
The next option, again based around HomeVision, is to use digital 'stats
wired t the digital inputs. I've not done this (yet - but will do when I
do
my loft conversion), but some members on the group have experience.
The other suggestion is to talk t someone like Dave Robbens (of Dave
Robbens underfloor heating), whose company always seems willing t give
advice.

Hi,
New t the list s sorry if this is OT, but from what I've seen s
far I suspect not! :)
Were installing unipipe underfloor heating in a house we're currently
renovating, and was wondering if anyone could recommend a control
system for a multizone installation (stats & cut-off valves for each
of the main rooms, something like 10 zones & two boilers) ideally
something with a bit of intelligence, and possibly something that has
future HA integration potential.
The electrician and plumber decided between them t run 3 core mains
cable t each of the thermostat points, and were going t install
analogue stats! (Don't ask - the architect doen't know the meaning of
the word planning - we'd already discussed an electronic system.)
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
