Slave/Master Setup and Smart Thermostat
We bought out house in October and learned that out system is zoned with as a Master/Slave setup. After living there a few months we decided that we wanted to upgrade from a simple comfort 2311 thermostat to a Honeywell Lyric T5 thermostat. I read numerous reviews that you are able to do Zones with these thermostats.
We bought one Lyric T5 and installed it upstairs (master thermostat) and left the downstairs as a Simple comfort and both Zones were working. A few months later we bought a Lyric T5+. Before installation we spoke with Honeywell and they told me that the T5 would not work as a Master/Slave set up.
Is there a thermostat that will work as a Master/Slave setup, or is there a way to use the T5+ still as a Slave?
I have attached the wiring setup of the Current Slave thermostat (Simple Comfort 2311). Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
We definitely need to know the model number of the zone control board.
Most of those older systems required a special stat for the primary location and any stat could be used in the secondary or number two location.

There should be a model number on it. From what I can see they offer two models.... a two zone and four zone model. There lit says use any thermostat.
