Hello. I'm sort-of lost, but I hope that I can find a little nudge in the right direction here.
I have been given the task to design a system which will control 9 zones of heating (radiant floor). The zone valves are controlled by 24v 2 wire actuators. I am not looking for logistical help with the radiant floor part; only the "human interface."
Basically, what I'm looking for is a fail-safe, professional, stand alone unit which can be controlled and monitored using a "remote control" or by telephone, or internet. Also, controlled by a touch-screen monitor.
I have learned, from doing security systems in the past, that computer based systems are very flaky due to the nature of windows platforms and multi-tasking; therefore, I believe that a good stand alone unit is preferable.
Where should I start looking for this equipment? I keep finding equipment that I believe is a little too "hobbyist" and not professional enough; although, it is important to make the customer a simple user interface which is easy to control.
Please advise! Thanks!
