I am running the thermostat script posted here, but with some problems.
This is a new install of the RC-80, and I seem to have trouble with the comm port. For example, to make this script work, I had to comment out the closecomport call, so the code never closes the port. It works every time (except the first time after starting HS...it times out then). If I leave that in, I always get a timeout.
I also have problems using PCstat from HAI to talk to the RC80. If I follow the instructions to set up communication, I get various errors like "unable to communicate" or a runtime error then dump. However, If I do things slightly out of order (get thermostat info first instead of "scanning"), things magically work. In fact, everything works after that.
Anyway, I know this topic has been dead for awhile, but I'm looking for some insight. For now I'm ok, since it works with my hack.
