I have a zoned, heat-pump system with two zones. The thermostats are
both pretty basic and don't indicate if/when the backup heat strips
are on, which is something I'd like to know. Does the zone controller
indicate when the strips are on? I assume there's a signal there I
could tap to get some indication.
