GE Teckmate

The zebra is only a device to hook up at the furnace to over ride the stat. I have one and use it when the furnace is in the basement and it save me time going up/down stairs. Bought it off ebay for $15. $100 is a little much for this device no more than I use it.

I have a GE Tekmate. Comes with good troubleshooting guide and you can get some info from the GE website. Beware those motors/the control module is specific to the circuit board of the furnace/air handler. So you also need the service instructions from the manufacturer for that unit to go further.
