What can I do to help using my Trane communicating, zoned system?

[windsurferwill]

Hi there, amazing progress you've made! I would love to be able to interact with my 4 zone Trane Comfortlink II communicating system with Home Assistant. My apologies if captured somewhere in your documentation how I could best help you with your goals for this project? My goal is to use conventional thermostats (better wife happiness factor) then convert their conventional wiring with something like ESPhome hardware to fake out (replace) the communicating thermostats.

I would be happy to use my system to trace and record the signaling / protocols. Would that be helpful or what could I do to use your progress thus far as a springboard for further development? I am fairly knowledgeable about HVAC, electronics, and software although I'll admit I'm not a github guru! I can give you my email if appropriate.
