Thanks for the response Rick.
My final comment was not aimed at HS or anyone on the board - rather a reflection on where we sit in the evolution of home automation so that it becomes available to the masses. Much the same as Windows and Intel has eventually done for the PC (although I'm sure many would argue that point).
I understand that there are $$$ solutions out there.
As good as you guys make HS - without peripheral manufacturers caring as much - HA will never cross the chasm (see Geoff Moore).
I'm a hack at heart so I enjoy debugging this sort of stuff - I just couldn't imagine the normal Joe going through what we do just to be able to connect his thermostat to his PC.
All the best,
