I have a question for people who understand the connections in a heating system. I have a Vaillant EcoTec Pro cooker and radiators on the ground floor and underfloor heating on the ground floor with some loops in the living room. The Vaillant VRC 700 controller is connected to the cooker via eBus and is just mounted on the ground floor, so I have no way of controlling the upstairs heating with radiators. I would like to attach some additional controller on the first floor and modify something in the manifold, just not too sure how to go about it. I would like to have two heating zones with independent temperature control. I'd also like wireless control from the first floor, as I don't feel like forging floors and walls to run cables into the garage where the boiler is. Any advice from people who know?
i've uploaded some photos of the manifold by the boiler in the garage
AI: Do you have any sort of manifold with actuators (solenoid valves) on the first floor by the radiators, or are there just regular valves/radiators with heads?
I have a manifold on the first floor, but the radiators have ordinary valves
AI: How do you currently control the temperature on the first floor - do you have any thermostatic heads, or do you just set the valves manually?
I set the valves manually
