I haven't thought it through fully but I don't think connecting in
parallel
will work.  It will upset the DEOL resistor setup on Comfort.

Simple solution may be to connect Ocelot inputs to comfort outputs and
switch outputs on and off based on the zone on and off.   Either
tie the Ov
of each unit together or if you prefer to isolate the two units try one
of
Ian Bird's relay boards between the two instead.
