We are now &amp;nbsp;done with our new cabin and we were able to design the duct work and zone system to our liking. I gotta say this has been on of &amp;nbsp;my favorite jobs in a while. We were able to take a 2 level +loft&amp;nbsp;cabin and install four zones of &amp;nbsp;forced air. One basement zone, two main floor zones,(one lake side, one road side) and a loft zone.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EosYGbMWIog/UYW2sqZ-tQI/AAAAAAAABds/i7vuvTU41Ug/w408-h306/13+-+2&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EosYGbMWIog/UYW2sqZ-tQI/AAAAAAAABds/i7vuvTU41Ug/w408-h306/13+-+2&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
One zone is not visible from this picture. We used &lt;a href=&quot;http://zonefirst.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;zone first&lt;/a&gt; motors. These zone motors are very easy to install and work very well. We wanted to be able to remotely access this system and found the perfect&amp;nbsp;solution,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/products/wireless/wireless_products.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Honeywell&#39;s Red Link system&lt;/a&gt;. Red link is Honeywell&#39;s&amp;nbsp;proprietary&amp;nbsp;wireless system thermostat system. With just one thermostat we can control the Furnace, A/C, HRV and&amp;nbsp;Humidifier&amp;nbsp; We can also access this system from a pc or a smart phone via &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.honeywell.mobile.android.totalComfort&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob25leXdlbGwubW9iaWxlLmFuZHJvaWQudG90YWxDb21mb3J0Il0.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/total-connect-comfort/id469517819?mt=8&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Iphone&lt;/a&gt; apps.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ohOJCfXXIXw/UYW2suDm9WI/AAAAAAAABd4/C2ZqGLNftJ4/w711-h533/13+-+1&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;238&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ohOJCfXXIXw/UYW2suDm9WI/AAAAAAAABd4/C2ZqGLNftJ4/w711-h533/13+-+1&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Here is a picture of the zone board and controls. In the middle is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/products/zoning/truezone/truezone_feature.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Honeywell True Zone&lt;/a&gt; panel. On the left is the Red Link zoning adapter. Three of the four thermostats&amp;nbsp;communicate&amp;nbsp;with this zone board wirelessly via the Red Link zoning adapter. One this right is the electronic interface module for the final stat on our system the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/products/thermostats/prestigeiaq/prestigeiaq_feature.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Prestige&amp;nbsp;2.0&lt;/a&gt;. This module is hard wired into the zone board. The module talks the the Prestige and is&amp;nbsp;controlling&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;humidifier&amp;nbsp;and HRV. What is also neat about this module is that is has dry contacts on the board so you could wire in a sump alarm and&amp;nbsp;receive and email notification of a failure.&amp;nbsp;You can also receive low/high temp alerts on up to six email address. You can now rest assured on your next vacation !&lt;/div&gt;
