can i use only one zone wih this unit

Sure you can. You can use one now and if you expand your system, add another anytime. Just be sure to use a 5 conductor wire if you will ever need to use all four stations. You need one common and one wire for each valve. To use this unit with only one station, during programming only set the duration for that one station. You can also ste that one station to come on up to three times a day by usung the programs A,B and C. The program button is on the top right of the display.

Sure. I do that at times. Just set up the one zone for a start time, a length of run time, and leave the other zones un scheduled.

4 stations means you can have 4 zones running independently. A station is one of those things that turns on or off a valve. http://www.orbitonline.com/site_files/originals/manuals/57894-24%20rA%2812%291.pdf is a manual.

Yes. Any time can be set up for any number of the zones up to the maximum available.

That is a great question. I cannot answer it with any certainty as I only purchased the one unit. A call to the manufacturer would be the best route for a correct answer.

no, but you will be better off using just one. One connection fewer conflicts.

My husband has connected our external TV speakers to the unit and turned off the TV speakers. He said it was not very user friendly, but with perseverance it can be done. Sorry, I don't know what zone 2 is.

Hello JacobI am 99% sure you can run manually all zones with a single start. I will check the owner's manual when I go home tonight and confirm my answer later on.

This unit (Orbit 58872N) has four separate programmable zones. (We also have the previous version you describe, with two programmable zones and one manual on/off outlet.) Our only problem has been with the plastic hose caps for unused zones; they break after a few month's use. If you're not going to use all four zones, you should be sure to buy metal hose caps.

This is just a thermostat. To control two zones you need two thermostats and a device on the furnace. It makes little sense to have a single thermostat which can by definition be in only one place controlling two zones.

Yes, no problem. There's an A and a B program. You can set some zones for one and the rest on the other so they can run separate schedules. I do that with mine as well.

Note sure... I use it for bi-amplification for the primary speakers for my audio library. I don't use the other zones for other rooms.

You can connect as many Onelinks as you like. I currently have about eight connected without any problems. You need a unit for each zone. I think that's what you are asking.

as i understand it , one input source can go to either zone, but you cannot sendtwo different sources to different zones

You need to have one of the multi-zone controllers and receivers attached for it to work correctly. If the HVAC systems are in different locations, then you need separate controllers that have the builtin receiver. I have the 3-zone unit (only using 2 zones currently) and it works great! All thermostats must be on a separate channel and "associated" with a separate zone. They cannot be on the same zone. These run on Honeywells proprietary Redlink protocol and are not compatible with other wireless protocols. It is a very solid system though... I did a lot of research before I took the leap. It's Pro stuff. Hope this helps. You need to have one of the multi-zone controllers and receivers attached for it to work correctly.

I have this unit for a few years, and I am very happy with it. It is not a dual zone system. Only one indoor unit.

You can set the temps yourself. I set my red zone for 55 & white for 48. I am very happy with the unit so far. I purchased it about 3 months ago.

The zones allow independent timing on each, but only one date adjustment. You won't be able to operate different schedules for things like tomatoes (daily short water schedule) and new trees (weekly deep watering) off the same controller.

If you want to drive them all from one remote, you can use 4-zone controller (ASIN: B00HEP269C, B00MGTVOSA, B00MGTVOVW, B00N9VAOG2)

John: No. This kit is designed for a single zone (multi stage system--this description often confuses people. multi-stage refers to differing heat and or HVAC levels---not number of zones in the house). The included interface panel is installed at the equipment and serves one zone only. If you have a home with 3 zones and 3 separate HVAC units, then you would need 3 kits (be careful here because the wireless signal of each unit might bleed over and cause problems with the others). If however you have a home with one HVAC unit running 3 separate zones (which is rare in a residential set-up) then you need to change out your existing Zone controller at the equipment and go to the Honeywell Truezone Panel. Honeywell does make a wireless adaptable Truezone System (not sold on Amazon). For a one plant multi-zone system you would need the Truezone panel, wireless Multizone interface and the required number of wireless thermostats. No sure Amazon sells all you need. I would strongly recommend a simple call to Honeywell Customer/Tech support and lay out what you are trying to accomplish. Be careful how you ask the question. The Honeywell unit Amazon sells is designated (by model number) as one that should only be installed by a professional HVAC tech (of which I am not). When I called about my unit, they would not answer once I told them I was not a HVAC contractor. I got around it by calling again a fibbing a little. Alternatively, you could try searching the model number and calling one of the vendors (ie SupplyHouse) as they offer free technical advice--but not as good a price as Amazon. Lastly, unless I had much experience with HVAC systems, I would not attempt installing this unit in a multi-zone system with professional HVAC help. Good Luck, Steve
