Sure you can.  We have an 8-zone Carrier/Bryant system.  Each zone has been
programmed to follow our daily movements.  There is no sense wasting energy
on rooms that aren't used.  The basic system has a master controller, and
thermistor sensors in each zone.  Upgrading to digital "smart sensors" for
each zone makes it easy to override the programmed cycle when necessary.
This system can also be programmed and monitored by the computer through a
RS232 interface.
