How to synchronize upstairs radiators with downstairs underfloor heating ?

Hi, I`m looking for any good option how to synchronize 4 radiators upstairs with water underfloor heating in 4 zones.

I`ve got new Vaillant boiler fitted a few months ago, which came with Salus roomstat, all radiators upstairs have TRV.
Underfloor heating is only connected to the timer, also Salus.

Previously both radiators and underfloor heating were had timers only so it was little be tricky to get them both swithced on and off at the same time.

But now I have to walk with my roomstat almost everywhere. If I will leave it upstairs through the day, temperature will drop below 20 degrees, boiler will switch on and heating upstairs is on, while nobody`s there. Downstairs, I have to add manually 2 or 3 hours on timer and change to higher temperature to keep heating on and/or close all walves on radiator upstairs. So need to keep an eye on it all the time.

I don`t know if there could be another roomstat receiver installed instead of timer for downstairs underfloor heating and a electric selenoid valve on the pipe to keep one (upstairs) closed while signal will be received from downstair roomstat on the receiver which will switch the boiler on and same the other way round for upstairs.

Maybe it could be a little bit tricky to get wired...

Any ideas? :mad2:

Thanks for any help, ipinions, ideas.

Tried to message u back. I have a whole lotta love for Honeywell two ports and Myson mprtrf for ufh control Myson take it to the limit with controls
 
He's a man of the world but I don't listen to a lot of his "I don't want want to know" nonsense I prefer to close my eyes go my own way. Wireless is a dream it don't stop in my house have a lot of the Myson units . Never going back again to wired stats with underfloor.
 
Thanks again everyone who came up with some solution.
I think that know what I need, just need to find som local plumber to do the job for me.

Sorry again for using "synchronize" but didnt know how to describe this, as obviously I am not a plumber.

Ermitrude if you can reply to my message that would be great.

Thanks everyone again. :seeya:
