ISY Insteon Thermostat and Heat Pump

[SING]

I purchased 4 Insteon Thermostats in anticipation of installing in a new home, only to realize that the AC units have heat pumps.

 

Is there a way to wire the Insteon thermostat to work with a 2 stage heat/one cool with heat pump unit to work with the Insteon and ISY?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi Weylin,

 

I do not know the answer but I have forwarded the post to our contact at SmartHome. Hopefully he'll be able to provide more feedback.

 

With kind regards,

The heat pump unit require a reversing valve labeled O/B.

The INSTEON thermostat does not have that contact.

There were some good things mentioned about Ventar series with insteon integration. Io_Guy is working on an ecobee middleware program to run on a raspberry pi or a windows machine 24x7, and UDI has the Ecobee on their priority list for support straight from the ISY994 series. You might check those options and just return the smarthome variety.
