Thanks, Jim
Hey Jim,
My understanding is that the zone control feature on the deluxe controller(s) is not activated/wired for setups with more than 4 zones. So I will still have the zone box (with the 6 light switches) to turn on/off zones.
If you have 4 or less zones you can then forgo the zone box and simply use the controller.
My exact setup will be 1 controller downstairs and 1 upstairs + a zone box with 6 light switches. The only reason for 2 controllers is to have one on each floor.
Not sure if i mentioned it but I emailed LG to ask if they are planning to upgrade the deluxe controller to allow more than 4 zones - they said not yet but maybe one day.
Hope that makes sense!
