I realize they exist. I have two of them, waiting to be installed. But, since the only thing they do is detect a temp/humidty and send a simple command to either turn the heat on or off, turn the cooling on or off, or turn the humidity on or off, these are relatively simple commands. I thought since I already was planning to put squeezeboxen very close to where all the thermostats are, this would be a nice integration. >Geez.

That's the beauty of this idea. It requires *no* additional functionality beyond what my original slimp3 has. All I need is some additional time to figure it out, but mother nature and Murphy have other plans in mind. A geek port exists for a very good reason - it is a geek kit at heart. Now I'm going to go off and figure out how to control my newly purchased antique coin-op Dixie-Narco coke machine with this thing... ;-) Paul _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
