I didnt want to hijack Royalj7's thread so I started a new one. Maybe this will help him in his decision as well.
Here is what I have:
MainLobby
Homeseer
Elk M1 Gold
MLHS plugin
HS-Elk Plugin
ML Thermostat Library
HAI RC 100 Thermostat
I want to be able to use the ML Thermostat library on a touchscreen and have full control of the Tstat. Where to start?
I figured out how to pull data (setpoints, temps, holds, etc) but I am having a hard time figuring out how to send data (raise temp, switch from heat to cool, etc.).
Do I use ML to send a command to HS which sends a command to Elk which sends a command to Tstat? Sounds like a lot of in betweens!
Do I plug the Tstat directly into my server and use the extremely robust HS HAI plugin? This would take the Elk out of the picture. But can ML control the HS HAI plugin?
I think my problem is that I have too many options and I am not sure where to start.
Ideal situation would be: no events needed in HS, No ML-ELK plugin needed (sorry DavidL, I really want HS as my backbone), Simple command lines to send the changes needed.
I know this is kind of a cluster, thanks for any input.
Thanks
Ty
