NEW Product: Common Wire Adapter Kit

Sometimes, when upgrading to SmartZone or even when upgrading to a new modern thermostat without zoning, the existing wires running to the old thermostat do not have enough conductors to make it operate properly. It can sometimes be an impossible task to run a new wire to the location where the thermostat or SmartZone panel is located. For some time, we have been recommending the use of an “Add-A-Wire” kit from LUX to solve this problem but we are now offering a solution from Vine called a COMMON WIRE ADAPTER. This new solution is available at ZoningSupply.com and can be added to any thermostat that needs an additional wire.

Existing: Three (3) wires, Needed for upgrade: Four (4) wires

Existing: Four (4) wires, Needed for upgrade: Five (5) wires

Existing: Five (5) wires, Needed for upgrade: Six (6) wires

NEW Product: Stand Alone Damper Control using ANY Thermostat

Sometimes, full blown zone controls are not needed to solve an airflow or temperature related issue in the ducting of a home or other building.

One example might be a bonus room, a basement or a 3 season room that could benefit from some air occasionally but doesn’t necessitate a zone control system with all of the features included with our SmartZone products.

For these applications, we have developed a control board that can connect a thermostat directly to a damper for basic control.

With this Damper Direct Controller, you can simply connect any thermostat, a 24vac transformer & hook up your damper (ANY damper will work as long as it is 24V).

The applications for this product are too may to list but, for us, it is just one additional tool in the toolbox for managing comfort and efficiency of your home or building’s HVAC. Contact ecojay.com or us here at ZoningSupply if you have any questions or ideas.

NO BYPASS NEEDED... an inexpensive alternative to some of the over-hyped products on the market.

Over the last couple of years, many new products have been introduced to the Zone Control market that purport to reduce or eliminate the need for a bypass or dump zone pressure relief setup that has been common since the 1980s.

“Bypass Eliminator” or “Static Pressure Equalizer” … whatever you call it, the concept is basically the same no matter which company or product you are talking about. The concept IS, to leak air into NON-calling zones in order to relieve static pressure in the supply duct instead of using a bypass or a dump zone.

This idea is appealing to many who have not wanted or been able to add a bypass/dump zone but still need some pressure relief in the air system.

ECOJAY has a new solution on the market “SmartStatic”, Much like the competitors, SmartStatic is a device that automatically (based on a static pressure sensor) leaks air in the NON-calling zones to relieve air pressure when needed. The SmartStatic can be used with new installs or with any existing system that uses standard 3-wire (power open / power close) zone dampers.

ALSO, the SmartStatic can be used WITH or WITHOUT a bypass/dump damper for the ultimate flexibility and capability to control static air pressure.
iO Controls, ZoneFirst & others have similar solutions that require specialized and expensive accessories and can’t be used in conjunction with any other pressure relief methods.

SmartStatic can control up to 4 zones on each board but can be chained together to control as many zones as needed with a single static pressure sensor. This is much preferable to some of the alternative methods that use multiple sensors and adjustments that can conflict with each other.

Wireless or Wifi Thermostats... What's the difference?

Despite often being used interchangeably, wifi and wireless thermostats refer to 2 very different types of devices.

Wifi stats (like the Nest or Ecobee) have surged in popularity over the last few years. Wireless stats have actually been around for a quite a while but are not quite as popular. Both types of devices perform the same basic function of controlling your heating and cooling unit as the room’s temperature changes. Both can be programmable and have touch-screens. Both can help you reduce energy consumption, especially when paired with a zoning system like SmartZone.

Key Differences:

Wireless thermostats can essentially be placed anywhere in your home. Think of it like a remote control for your HVAC. They do not need to be WIRED to the wall or to the HVAC unit.

WiFi thermostats are not wireless and are generally wall-mounted. They enable users to control the thermostat remotely from a phone, computer, or tablet. In some areas, even the local energy companies can request access to your wifi stat.

The differences are as simple as their names imply. Wireless stats operate without being wired to the wall or system. Wifi stats are stationary, but can be controlled from peripheral devices.

Benefits:

A person in the market for a wireless thermostat is looking for a device that can be placed anywhere in the home and not necessarily on a wall.

A person in the market for a wifi thermostat is looking for the ability to control their thermostat from anywhere. They might also be looking for the benefits that come with having your stat connected to the internet. Some top of the line wifi thermostats can display weather info, news headlines and more. They can also integrate with various home-automation systems.

After looking at the benefits of the 2 types of devices, it’s easy to see why wifi thermostats have out-paced wireless thermostats in popularity. However, both inventions are remarkable examples of how the HVAC industry is racing forward to meet the comfort and convenience requirements of 21st century homes and buildings.

Best damper motor (actuator) on the market... we tested them all.

Well, maybe not technically ALL of them but dozens and even more than in this photo.

We narrowed down by specs that would work for us first.  Between 30 and 60 second travel time, 90 deg rotation, at least 1.5nM torque, lower than 3.5VA power consumption, 24Vac operation, clutch free movement, minimum open/close, range of 3/8" to 1/2" shaft and more.  Once we narrowed down to here we still had about 6 or 8 motors and we tested the top 5 for full 10 year accelerated life and field testing.  Some we even used in production for a while.  We are now confident when we proclaim that the Belimo motor that is made for ecojay and we sell with SmartZone wins in all categories... reliability, noise & installation/setup.
