Thank you! So 2 bell wires lying on the ground is correct? Can't I wire Heat on 44 & 46 and cool on 45 & 46? The equipment vendor has been a problem from day one. I knew they sold me a last-generation automation that can't control everything I wanted to control. UGH! I wanted an Intelliflow.

these lights mount ON the step... I want to underlight the step. Like this. Is there a strip light solution?

I'm going to have three or four concrete steps going up to my pool and I'd like to under lite them in some fashion. My current idea is to cap each step with a concrete slab, hang the front of the slab over the front of the riser and mount the lights underneath the overhead. I'd be interested in...
