Zusammenfassung:	A zoned heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is controlled via a home automation hub. The home automation hub communicates commands to an air handler via either a zoning interface module or a specially adapted thermostat. The zoning interface module or specially adapted thermostat are programmed to send commands to the air handler based on a default strategy whenever communication with the hub is lost, thereby mitigating the impact of a hub failure of communications failure. The zoning interface module additionally forwards commands from the hub to zone dampers. A user may conveniently indicate the type of equipment by inserting a removable terminal label from a set of provided removable terminal labels.
