This has been discussed on the boards, just wanted to add it here for the record:
Although there is a workaround for getting 8 zones (set "pump" to on for 8th zone, off for all others, zone 8 is then the first output), it would be nice if there was a new "use pump output" configuration option on the "Settings" page that did the following:
if "use pump output" option is set to "on", then system works as it does now: there is a pump option for each of 7 zones, and the pump is controlled by the first output
if "use pump output" option is set to "off", then the "pump" option is hidden for each of the 8 zones, and the first output controls zone 1, rather than the pump.
there might be a clearer/better name for the option...
