Re: xAP Floorplan 1 released

["g8kmh" <lehane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looks good - I hope to have a bit more of a play later.

One quick question or future request....

Is it possible to have a global variable which can be displayed and
manipulated on the floorplan?

Example:
The TOM10 reports the room temp and that is displayed but from a
user viewpoint it would be ideal to also show the room setpoint and
allow that to be changed. The script can then do weather comp.,
house occupied, etc. and activate the heating controls.
