Default Two, yes two thermostats.

I think a lot of people with 1 zone systems that cannot be easily balanced
would benefit from a simple solution.

Two thermostats - No - really two temp sensors and one set the temp thingy.
For cooling, set the max temp, one room will obviously be cooler. For
heating, set the min temp, one room will be warmer.

Many houses 'round here are configured with only one zone. Mine is a 2900 sq
ft 2 story house. I have bedroom set up as a home office/classroom with 3
PCs in it and another basement home office room with 2 PCs in it. Ideally
temp sensors would be placed in the problem rooms as well as one in a
general central location. Set the temp and the system will operate as
described above. No switches, not gadgetry, no x-10, no wireless remotes.
KISS principle should apply for operation.

Saw a question from last year about using two thermostats and the
person was told to do ten different things other than what she wanted.
I NEED to use 2, and here is why. I have a recording studio where the
therm controls were mounted inside the room with the recording
equiptment. In the summer the therm turns on the air to cool this room
down because it can get over 85 pretty quick. The room with musicians
stays cool all the time. Now, in the winter, we have to move the therm
to the musicians room or the heat never goes on and it gets cold. After
a couple of years of moving this unit I decided to buy another
thermostat (I already ran two sets of wires to the heater) These rooms
are sealed off from one another with doubled drywall, staggered studs,
seperate entrys and sand between their isolated frames. so blocking
vents and all that stuff is not going to work. Was considering a 4pdt
switch to go from one to the other, but maybe there is another way?
Right now I just switch the wires inside the heater, but They will wear
out if I keep doing that. Thanks
