Reply to "MTH remote control box, in line with Z1000 transformer doesn't work. I wonder why?"

Stop the presses!  I gave you bad information on the Z-controller.   I examined mine and it appears "Black" is NOT common between input and output.  Instead it the "Red" that is connected internally.  OTOH for the DCS-RC, the "Black" is common between input and output.  I'll have to revise my diagram.  Maybe it can still be done with "just" a DPDT configuration but as you have intuited, it may require a more complex (e.g., 3P) switch type.  

If you have a meter, with nothing connected to the Z-controller, could you measure the Ohms between the input center-pin and the output "Red" banana...and separately the Ohms between the input "sleeve" and the output "Black" banana?  You can plug in the barrel-connector with pigtails if it makes it easier to attach the meter probes.

Boy do  I know the feeling.
Up is down and  down is up.

I will check that out and, if I find as you suggested, I will try it again with regard to the reversal.

Thanks for checking into your controller.
That is going above an beyond, and I sincerely appreciate the effort.
