New hardware revision and you still ignore users >16 zones?

[control4reak]

Is there still no way for users to connect more than 16 zones. This has been discussed for more than three years and I fully expected it to be implemented in the latest hardware revision. Are you still planning on adding this via software?

i am still dreaming of this feature to happen. I usually end up doing a zone double up but only on zones with identical characteristics and values. If I have to do that for more than 4 zones, I usually end up adding an additional 8 zone controller.

Hey @control4reak and @spscoutenPhD,

@franz made a statement regarding this earlier this year. Linking it below so you can take a look

Update? More than 16 zones?

@gbdesai @Gene @jsore To be very transparent, this is an extremely difficult thing to do in software. Our scheduling algorithms are complex enough, let alone distributed across multiple controllers. We also plan on doing some more sophisticated weather intelligence features across schedules that would make this even more difficult. There would have to be significant domain/database changes, significant server changes, significant client changes across iOS/Android/Web. Along the way user testing…

Thanks!
