Can the Elk M1G have rules to send the outside temperature to the RC-80B - HAI Single Stage Heat/Cool thermostat?
That would be cool, but I suspect no. I think you can setup a remote temperature sensor but it is for the internal temp (to ideally place the temperature sensor when the thermostat may be elsewhere). I don't think it has a means of displaying a separate temperature (as it does not have a way to detect the outside temperature out of the box).
If this is wrong, I'd love to hear about it as I have these too.
Where are you seeing that it said outside temps are read only? It said (RO = Read Only) at the top but there is no RO next to the outside temp register.

The outside temperature register is not read only. Writing to this register is the way the RC80 receives the outside temperature.
Outside Temperature: writing to the outside temperature register will cause the thermostat to display the
outside temperature every 4 seconds. The thermostat will stop displaying the outside temperature if this
register is not refreshed at least every 5 minutes.
We are working on reading and writing to thermostats connected to the M1 via ASCII protocol so that third party software can display some of the new energy saving features that is in the new thermostats.![]()
