I am having Presige Solo hot water gas boiler installed. It will be 4 zones. What thermostat can I use? I wanted 1 thermostat (controller) to control all the zones so i can program it in 1 place. It must be programmable, touch screen is nice. I assume they can do this with 4 indoor sensors for the 4 zones. I dont want 4 thermastats.
Please suggest.
Thanks!

Do you know what kind of Zone valves are going to be used? If so, what's the make and model on this?

While there are control systems that can use remote sensors into a processor that will then output to various zone valves I don't think you will find a single programmable thermostat that has multiple inputs and outputs for different zones, certainly not a residential thermostat.
What you could do is have a single time clock and individual thermostats with two set points. The time clock could then reset the thermostats at a particular time.

I'm not sure I understand why you'd want all the zones controlled from one point. You need to sense the temperature at the various zone locations in any case, right?
