No, the end switches from the zone valves cannot be tied directly to T-T on the IDEAL Solo 110 boiler without using a zone controller. The system uses low voltage terminals and expects control through proper wiring and configuration, typically involving a zone controller.

Will thermostat heat mode show "OFF" when setpoint is reached? My landlord says yes. I say no. Setpoint reached does not turn heat mode OFF. It just means heater doesn't engage.

No, the IDEAL Solo 110 thermostat does not display "OFF" in heat mode when the setpoint temperature is reached. Instead, it shows "DHW Setpoint Reached" or similar messages indicating that the burner is not firing because the temperature has exceeded the setpoint, but the system remains ready to respond to new demands.
