Hi...follow-up question on the same subject. previously I successfully setup an ecobee Tstat on a boiler that has T/T connections using a transformer and the relay. It is working fine with no problems. I would like to replace 2 other basic Tstats with Ecobees on the same boiler (3 zone boiler). I completely understand that they would each need their own relay, and that you are suggesting that 2 can run off the same transformer. Do you think the same transformer can run 3 ecobees? What, if any are factors that would affect this? This is the transformer I am using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HPJT7C0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks in advance!
The Fast-Stat wiring diagram is correct. The preferred place to wire a new transformer would be into a switched junction box so it could be turned off easily. If you are planning to install it outside of an enclose, get one that is self-enclosed (no exposed terminals) like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Packard-Control-Transformer-Class-Mount/dp/B01HPJT7C0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1542741561&sr=8-6&keywords=24vac+transformer.
12V power brick with car lighter out ~ $13
50 Hz 110 V inverter ~ $12
120V→24 V tranformer ~ $12
Plus you'll need to wire that shit together somehow. Also it's probably going to generate crazy amounts of interference. But it'll work, more or less.
edit: it's probably a waste of time, you'd need to know more about what that thing expects.
