Hey guys (and hopefully Spanky),
So I just installed my RCS communicating zone controller and tstats (or WDU's) - got it talking to the Elk - all is well there.
However - I wanted to try hitting some of the more advanced commands of the controller by sending direct commands over the serial port.
So - I have the message going to the serial port, but instead of being read as raw ASCII, it seems to be getting sent under the "TM=" command which makes everything into a simple text message on the display - and doesn't actually execute the command.
Is there any way around this? I want to send an exact ascii string directly to the zone controller without it getting converted into "text message" text.
Thx!
