I've narrowed my thermostat selection down to three, right now I'm considering
1) HAI 2 RC-1000 [looks like it fits my bill pretty well, but the serial protocol is a little difficult for me to follow, and I can't seem to figure out the commands that I'm looking for]
2) Control by Web X-300 [looks like the easiest to program, using network communication, but lacks a hardware interface (ALL control must be via network)]
and
3) Proliphix IMT350 [ I think the most appealing of the three, except that, and this is a biggie, I don't think they share the protocol, so while I could relatively easily communicate through it's web interface, direct communication via my Universal Devices controller would not be possible]
Any and all comments, suggestions, explanations and or relative tangents are appreciated.
