Here is a quick interim release. There's no new functionality but there is a lot of additional info written to the log and also to the plugin's config page. There are some bug fixes too, including one that I think will help dbmet.

This update seems to have really stabilized the app, particularly the fix to the config page. Thanks!
If you're willing to field some more advanced applications of this, let me know and I'll forward you my logs.
In particular, I'll be excited once the parent thermometer device can create and control separate child devices per zone (i.e. where zones 2-x are set to enabled=on) in a multi-zone setup...
Code:< zone id="2" >< name >Master Suite< /name >< enabled >on< /enabled >< holdActivity/ >< hold >off< /hold >< otmr/ >< setback >on< /setback >< airflowlimit >high< /airflowlimit >< cfmlimit >2243< /cfmlimit >< tempoffset >0< /tempoffset >< activities >...< /zone >

Thanks. That worked, brain is slipping .
I noticed in the logs for the plugin that it sees the fan status, but its not updating that in Homeseer. Is this known issue?
Also any update as to when we might see functionality to control the thing? My only care right now is to turn it on and off based off if windows are opened or not. We had this prior to getting the new heater with another tstat and it was one functionality i miss.

I need to make a decision on new HVAC units
I am replacing my HVAC and the contractor has a deal for me! The Bryant Evolution variable system. Problem: I currently use the Honeywell Z-wave tstat and would have to change the the Bryant to get full use of the system. I have lots of stuff in HS3 that uses the Tstat. I need to be able to read the state of the temp, set point, fan, mode. I need to be able to set set point, fan, mode. My understanding from the posts is that reading works, but setting does not. Does it look like you will be able to control the tstat soon? If not I might pass on the variable and buy the two speed solution.
Thanks!

Bryant Evolution / Carrier Infinity Plugin
My thoughts on this when I bought it were the same. Missed having control over it. That being said with the new stat you set it and forget it and it actually works very well this way. The only control I care about is turning it off if the windows are open. The stat does a good job of running on its own.
You can use a regular stat with the system but in my eyes that's silly. You miss out on a lot of functionality like the variable speed stuff. Sure it will do it, but on a timer vs the system being properly controlled. You miss out on humidity control and also the system does operate differently depending on the outside temperature if you have the temp probe connected. It's like buying that Cadillac but using a ford steering wheel. Sure it works but why?
