prob better to wire them thru a 5 or 6 pole (I forgot how many wires from
controller to unit), double throw switch; power "on" to both units all the
time; switch selects which one gets to command the unit...

Could you wire two identical ones in parallel?
One would be programmed for "home" and one for "away".
Turn which ever one you needed on and other one off.

I do not think there would be a problem even if you ended up with both of
them
on.
It would just keep the area at the "home" setting.

If you had one was trying to heat and the other one trying to cool, that
might
be another story.
