Does the Bell Smart Home thermostat support systems with multiple zones? 

Yes, the smart thermostat supports systems with more than one zone. Each zone can be controlled by its own thermostat.

Can the Bell Smart Home thermostat control variable-speed heating and cooling systems? 

The smart thermostat can control many variable-speed heating and cooling systems that use standard 24-volt wiring (for example, with R, G, Y, W, C wiring).

My system has an external air baffle for fresh air. Can the Bell Smart Home thermostat work with my system? 

The smart thermostat works with heating and cooling systems that have an external air baffle, where the central system controls the baffle.

Some systems rely on the thermostat itself (not the central heating and cooling system) to control the baffle. The smart thermostat will be able to support these systems using the Z terminal.

What can the Z terminal on the Bell Smart Home thermostat be used to control? 

The Z terminal of the smart thermostat can currently control a third heating stage, a humidifier or a dehumidifier.
