Hey all. Thanks in advance to this amazing community for all it help. You guys are awesome.

I have a small home with in floor heating and an ERV. The infloor heating has two zones. One for bathroom and bedroom and another for kitchen and living room.

Wondering if the ecobee thermostat is my best option. Hoping that it can control both zones and switch them with the ecobee sensors or via homekit/HA. Will I be forced to buy two thermostats? Its a really small home, so two sensors isnt great and dont necessarily want a display panel mounted in the bedroom.

Is it possible to run the the ERV independently? Ie can I have the ERV controlled by a CO2 sensor independent of temp control? Ive been seeing conflicting info.

Im reading the manual but im not sure whats possible if integrating home kit/ha. Any and all advice welcome!

ERVs should be controlled by humidity, outside temperature, and time. Some come with an automated mode that adjusts run time and fan power with those. It'd probably be difficult to find controls that have multi zone, HA integration, and E/HRV features in one package.

I'd leave the ERV controls out of this one.
