Thermostat to HVAC System
Vantage Q-ETS communicating thermostat
In the picture at the right, there are 2 HVAC systems in the house (perhaps one for the 1st floor and one for the 2nd floor). Each HVAC system has a Vantage Q-ETS communicating thermostat directly connected to it (the red wires). In addition, the thermostats are connected to a domain controller via an RS-485 bus (the gray wire).
