air dampers and regulating the flow of air to different zones. ZigBee devices control these
motors based on the commands they receive from the main HVAC zone control panel and
temperature sensors. An alternative way of implementing a multizone control system is
to connect the zone control panel, motors, and temperature sensors via wires instead of a
wireless network. A wired system has less flexibility and additional labor cost for wiring,
but the cost of the parts might be slightly lower. Total system cost and flexibility for future
modifications should be the decision factors in selecting between these two implementation
methods.
