Default outdoor temp sensor/ Boiler reset control for steam boiler?

I've seen these boiler reset controls to sense outdoor temperature to compensate for the water temperature flowing through hydronic radiators. Just curious do they make anything for a 1 zone steam boiler?

This is for a 6 family apt building in NYC. I'm wondering if they make an outdoor temperature sensor that can prevent the boiler from coming on if it's warm enough outside. Current rules in NYC a

From 6AM-10PM, indoor temp must be 68deg if outside temp is below 55.
From 10PM-6AM indoor temp must be 55deg if outside temp is below 40.

So I would need something similar to a programmable T-Stat for the different times and temperatures. I'm wondering if its possible to wire 2 T-stats in series?

Or will this cause more problems? Ideally, I'd like to have a Wi-Fi indoor T-stat , but there is no Wi-Fi in the bldg ( not even with tenants), and the wiring from indoor T-stat on 2nd floor hallway to boiler is insufficient ( only 2 wires).
