Is there any chance you would pass on any of your coding for the status and control of these units? Regards Dave Hi DMR,

No (and a bit Yes :-) ). The API documentation states the thermostat shouldn't be polled to often; preferably not more than once a minute. So that's exactly what I'm doing: I've created a queue in my software in which all reads and writes to the thermostat are kept. Once a minute this queue is being processed and sent to the thermostat. So if you obey the API docs, you'll have no problem. However, i've noticed 2 resets when my Domotica system was polling the thermostat as described above and i was browsing through the web interface of the thermostat at the same time. That was probably to much to handle. I knew this could happen and it did... but now there's no need anymore to use the web interface; i can read and write whatever i want from my Domotica system, which will take care of not stressing the thermostat to much.
