I would need alot more information about your setup to answer this question. What kind of thermostats, and what kind of controller if any.

I am building a new house and am trying to get all the wiring in that I can think of. I want to use stargate HCC and wire a lot of stuff to it including the thermostats. I have cheap thermostats in now but want to replace them with something that would communicate w/ stargate.
Thanks

OK,
How many zones do you want to have?
Is there more then one HVAC unit?
Will there be automated dampers used to control the temperature?

There will be 10 zone valves with one boiler that will do the radiant heating but the boiler will switch to a higher temperature to heat the DHW when called for, one A/C, 2 ERV's,. The A/C will have one thermostat since that was the way the contractor hooked it up. The ERV's are manually operated as per contractor setup.
