Compatibility list
| Existing controller / SKU | Status | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
SZ-SW4 |
Known replacement target | The TekOnline 4-Zone Wall Controller is being positioned as an open, ESPHome-based replacement path for this style of standard 4-zone wall controller. Final suitability still depends on wiring, damper hardware, and how the existing system is switched. |
Compare the terminal wiring and send photos before ordering if you want confirmation. |
Known damper compatibility
| Damper / motor | Status | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
Advantage Air CLIP24 clip-in 24V damper motor |
Known compatible target | This motor is sold as a 24 Volts AC two-position open/closed damper motor and is a strong fit for the TekOnline 4-Zone Wall Controller use case. The Oz Air listing also states it is suitable for Exact Air Regulators and Advantage Air barrel dampers. Final suitability still depends on the installed wiring and control scheme. |
Confirm the field wiring and send photos if you want a pre-purchase compatibility check. |
