An Internet of Zoning – IoZ™ Kit comes with equipment for either a 2-Zone or 3-Zone system.
Orders with additional zones will have adder zone boxes delivered with the kit. See E below.
This installation guide will walk you through the necessary devices required for an IoZ system
of any size, the functionality of each device, and a detailed step-by-step guide to how the
system works and how to re-install the system. After following this guide, you should be
comfortable with the functionality of the IoZ display and answer any questions that come your
way.

- Page 1 IoZ™ Installation Guide An Internet of Zoning – IoZ™ Kit comes with equipment for either a 2-Zone or 3-Zone system. Orders with additional zones will have adder zone boxes delivered with the kit. See E below. This installation guide will walk you through the necessary devices required for an IoZ system of any size, the functionality of each device, and a detailed step-by-step guide to how the system works and how to re-install the system.
- Page 2 ZONE CONTROL GATEWAY – ZCG The ZCG or the Zone Control Gateway is responsible for connecting to all other devices, i.e. LST, WDS & HCM. Once the connections are established, the ZCG communicates via Wi-Fi or ethernet to the internet to allow accessibility from the mobile app.
- Page 3 HVAC CONTROL MODULE – HCM The HCM or HVAC Control Module is responsible for communicating to your HVAC equipment. Any heat or cool calls made from the thermostat (LST) or the mobile app will communicate directly to the HCM to send a signal to the HVAC equipment.
- Page 4 LIGHT SWITCH THERMOSTAT – LST The LST or Light Switch Thermostat is responsible for monitoring and changing the temperature for each zone. Each LST is also capable of turning on or off the light for the specified zone. Located on the front of the LST is the touch display capable of interacting with the temperature input.
- Page 5 WIRELESS DAMPER SENSOR – WDS The WDS or Wireless Damper Sensor is responsible for sensing the duct temperature and pressure. For every LST in the system, there is a corresponding WDS with it to monitor the zone’s duct parameters. The WDS connects and powers the plug-in-play dampers to modulate for open/close as well as bypassing features.
- Page 6 QR CODES Every IoZ display has a variety of QR codes associated with it. Each device has its own unique QR code which is tied to its unique MAC ID. For ease of install, we’ve implemented a Master QR Code which is responsible to coupling all devices into one dominant QR code for the entire system.
- Page 7 IoZ Equipment Installation The following step-by-step procedure will walk you through how to install a system from start to finish. Install Invis-A-Stat™/ LST a. Turn off the breaker to the room you’re installing the LST into b. Remove the light switch cover and existing light switch c.

- Page 9 Install the WDS a. Drill a 3/8 hole into the duct work after the damper to insert the sensor i. Be sure to install it with the air flow arrows facing the same direction of the air flow b. Mount the WDS with the two screws provided into the duct work c.
- Page 10 Wait 15 seconds while the ZCG boots up indicated by LED1 & LED2 being solid e. If possible, we recommend installing the ZGC with an ethernet cable to your wifi router f. We will finish the ZCG install using the Bliss™ by ZONEFIRST® app REV# BDG.24.04...
- Page 11 BLISS™ by ZONEFIRST® App Install Install BLISS by ZONEFIRST app from the App Store or Android Marketplace Open the IoZ App and start by creating an account a. Select “Login” i. If you have not created an account, select “Sign Up”, input all your credentials and select “REGISTER”...
- Page 12 For any type of install (Single or Multi) the app will prompt you to either scan the master QR code or add each device individually a. Scanning the Master QR code will automatically identify each device along with its own ID (recommended) b.
- Page 13 f. You will be prompted that the phone is successfully connected to the ZCG Access Point g. You can connect the ZCG to internet by using either Ethernet (recommended) or Wi-Fi h. Once all the steps are complete, the app will try to connect all the devices at once i.
- Page 14 c. Follow the directions to ensure the HCM is connected properly d. Continue to set the equipment settings to match your equipment i. I.e. Heat pump, Gas/Electric, etc. e. Once configured, the HCM will have a check mark next to it The final steps are to add each zone a.
- Page 15 c. On the App main setup screen, select “ADD” d. Enter the Zone Name e. Next to Thermostat, click “CONNECT” and run through the LST install instructions i. You will be prompted to test the connection by turning the light on and off f.
- Page 16 After all devices are successfully installed, there are optional system settings to finalize the entire system a. Bypass Limits: Depending on which zone will be used b. Scheduling: Create a schedule that you can update to make any call at any time c.
- Page 17 Wi-Fi now must turn off in order for the app to complete a connection with the internet. b. Turn off the mobile device’s Wi-Fi connection and navigate back to the IoZ App c. By clicking “DONE” you will now be able to return to the main screen that shows you your IoZ system. REV# BDG.24.04...
