RE: Re: Heatmiser - advice please?!

Noel,

IP Thermostats are available from http://www.proliphix.com/default.aspx

Also HAI RC80 with rs232 port  http://www.smarthome.com/110801b.html

Both have homeseer plug-ins.=20

The problem with these American thermostats (besides the fact that they are
not sold in the U.K.) is that they work off 24v ac so you need a
transforme=
r
and relays to interface with your heating.

The heatmiser stats look the best solution but unfortunately there is no
homeseer plug-in available yet.

So....for someone with almost zero serial experience or knowledge, nor
do I own Comfort or homeseer, is it pretty unlikely that i'd be able
to reasonably simply web enable the homeseer thermostats short of the
=A3350 kit?!

I thought I'd seen some thermostats with built in web capability
possibly US based sites before but having issues finding them now,
will keep hunting but confirmation if im thinking right re above would
be good!
Thanks all, interesting reading!
