Hi,
I am trying to setup the RS-485 link between the M1XSP and a RCS TR16 thermostat.
The thermostat and the control unit communicate to the HVAC without any problem, all is well on this side. I can get the HVAC to respond to whatever I set on the thermostat.
On the Elk-M1XSP, I can see that is it enrolled in ElkRP, I see the address, the model, and the different version (HW=0.3, Boot=1.0.4, FW=1.0.50), so I guess the cabling is fine on this end also...
In the interface I can set the name of my thermostat, and on my keypad I see the name appear. But the temperature shown is -17, which is telling me that it is not getting the information for the TR16...
So the problem seem to be that I don't seem to have any communication between the M1XSP and the TR16.
The only other thing I can observe, is that the light on the M1XSP is blinking, about 1/2 a second followed immediately by a very fast blink, then about 1/2 a second pause
I doublechecked my cabling connection many times and I even change the TR16 completely, because I though the unit was deffective.... But I cannot make it work.
I guess the next step would be to diagnose the RS-485 communication between the 2 of them, but how do I go about doing that ?
Any ideas, experiences or pointers you could give me would be useful, I really want this to work....
Thank you !
