ILoveC4 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've got the Bryant Evolution Zone System and would love to integrate with C4, but the SAM module is damn expensive and I have not found anyone that has done it before. I want to hear it works well before I fork out the cash.If you end up doing it...let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it can be done, but looking for some feedback from someone who has done it.Really want to know if the control is exact as with a C4 t-stat. Wanting to know if with the Carrier driver I would be able to control through C4 everything that is on the Carrier t-stat. i.e, fan speed, ability to control an ERV unit and ability to switch from heat pump to emergency heat.

ILoveC4 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Unfortunately not. It isn't a big deal though, I've got a thermostat in every room so I don't have very far to go if I want to adjust the temperature. I've got the driver, I just haven't boned up and bought the SAM yet...I want to hear a success story first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman03sbp Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I've got the Bryant Evolution system but the driver does not work with the flash base upgrades. My 7" touch screens do not work, but my 4" Touch screens do work. From the Web based navigator HTML works but flash does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 "flash base upgrades". When you say that do you mean it quit working when you updated to 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikey78 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have a Bryant Evolution system. The Bryant dealer agreed to order the SAM module and install it on a trial basis.I was on 1.8 at the time and nothing that my very experienced and capable C4 dealer could do would make the system work properly including installing different drivers. The main problem that I had was not being able to control the furnace properly including the ability to adjust the heating and cooling schedules via C4. The SAM was removed and the C4 thermostat was replaced with the Carrier thermostat and it works perfectly. Without the SAM the C4 thermostat was not able to turn the AC on and off properly. Not sure if going through the SAM improved that situation because it was removed as soon as the lack of scheduling control was confirmed. I had heard that C4 2.0 was supposed to address some of these issues but I have not heard of any details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 With the SAM you're supposed to user the Bryant thermostats, not C4 ones. You were trying to use C4 thermostats with the SAM attached to the Evolution Zone system? If so, that's why it didn't work. The SAM allows C4 to control the system by allowing it to soak directly to the zone board and controlling the system that way. It won't work with C4 thermostats.

When you say that do you mean it quit working when you updated to 2.0?I can not say it's 2.0 for certain because my Bryant system was intalled after I had 2.0. All I know is I can control my Heat/AC temp and Fan speed from my 4"'s and from my web browser only under HTML, but nothing works on my 7"'s or web browser when using Flash.

I had a Bryant thermostat that was connected to the SAM module which was connected to the furnace. The C4 thermostat was not being used at that time. Could use C4 touch panels to control basic temperature settings but was not able to do scheduling changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
