We’re working on a new touchscreen wall controller for the TekOnline eight-zone controller. Here’s a look at the prototype, what we’re testing, and how to follow its progress.
When will it be ready?
As of 14 October 2026, we’re aiming to have the wall controller ready in about three weeks — around early November 2026. This is a development estimate, rather than a confirmed shipping date. We’ll share availability and final connection details when they’re ready.
A closer look at the prototype
The current prototype shows touchscreen zone targets alongside estimated zone positions. We’re also exploring a camera screen, including a front-door view. These previews show work in progress; the final feature set is still being refined.

Connecting to the eight-zone controller
The planned connection uses a cable with female Dupont connectors at one end and male Dupont connectors at the other. Cable sourcing and the final connection instructions are still being worked out. We’ll publish the pinout and installation details once they’re finalised.
For details of the existing eight-zone hardware, see the TekOnline 8-Zone HVAC Controller V3 product page and the V3 development overview. The new wall controller is a separate upcoming device; this preview is not a wall-controller order page.

Which controls would you use most? Would a camera view be useful in your home? Leave your ideas or questions in the comments on the demo videos — we’d like to hear how you would use the wall controller.
