I thought the whole point in using a thermostat, rather than just a
1-wire
temperature sensor and an appliance module, is that the control is done by
the thermostat. The PC is just acting as an interface, monitoring and
changing setpoints.

Im more interested in getting the data into Comfort (and therefore
Homeseer)

I use HS just for logging - I could never trust a PC to run the home !

Gareth,

I am looking at the Heatmiser stats and would ideally like to integrate
them
into homeseer.

Homeseer has a thermostat API and there is a document detailing the
heatmiser protocol, so it would be a matter of writing a driver that
translates the API calls to serial commands. I'm sure it is possible, but
not that easy.

You reckon with a 485 to 232 dongle we could talk to heatmiser via say
Comfort or HomeSeer quite easily ??

Hi Noel,

I couldn't find anything better than the heatmisers. I've just bought
a bucket load more for the rest of the rooms. I just need to find time
to complete the sw side of things... rather than have to ssh in to
turn on the heating.

Anyway, does this post/thread help?

Note you need a serial->485 dongle (quite cheap) and there are people
around here somewhere with UI sw (VB etc.) if you aren't in to C hacking.

Cheers, Bruce.
