Just recently switched over to a Lumina Pro from a Homevision setup. I have three fairly new Aprilaire 8870 thermostats (Statnet) and the RS-485 to RS-232 converter to communicate with them. Since these are pretty new, and work fine, I would rather not replace them with HAI's thermostats.
Has anyone somehow integrated these or other smart thermostats (OTHER than HAI's) into their HAI system? It seems like it might be complicated to try and use serial messages to send and receive commands from the Aprilaire Statnets.
I see that iRule supports these thermostats using a serial iTach, and I plan to use that software's HAI plugin. But I think it may not be straightforward how to integrate the Lumina, iRule, and the Aprilaire thermostats.
Any input greatly appreciated!
