Search is your friend!
Quick search showed the wiring is described many times in this forum.
For example have a look at :

In the box of the Thermostat would have been a single sheet of paper that has the wiring diagram on it (separate from the user and install manuals).

Yes, the new omniStat connects up the same way as the previous generation HAI tstat do. Couple of diffences though.
Before, HAI had (actually still does have) 5 different tstat based on the type of HVAC system you have. The new OmniStat has "jumper" setting for you to set this.
As stated by an earlier poster, there will be in the future optional modules for other communication types such as Zigbee and ethernet.Martin Custer

I asked my HAI contact about this, the new OmniStat 2's are compilable with the old protocol. So it should work fine. It does have some additional features in the rs232 protocol, but it's extending the current protocol rather than changing it.
I don't use the HAI plugin and don't have an OmniStat2 so I can't tell you %100, but there is no reason why it shouldn't work.

How to connect to HS - Similar to RC-80?

The installation manual only talks about connecting to HAI systems in the comm section, not others. Does anyone have any information on how to connect to an existing serial connection that was connected to an RC-80 before? Simply connecting the wire colors at the thermostat as labeled doesn't seem to do it. Guess it's not that simple.
I'm sure I'll upgrade to the ethernet option when it comes out, and finally get rid of the serial-USB adapter that reboots XP 2 times a day, but until then, I'd like to have it connected like my RC-80 was.
Any help appreciated.

System = 100 Baud = 1200
Originally posted by heatvent View PostI have the RC-122. There is a installer setup where I had to set option 01 to 00 for 300 baud PC connection. The default was 01 which was for the HAI HA panel. Maybe there's something like that for the Omnistat2.

Anyone else even have an Omnistat2 hooked up to Homeseer?
I feel like I'm the only person in the country that has an Omnistat2 right now. I'd thought it'd been out for a couple months.
There is absolutely no information out there on how to hook this up to Homeseer. None other than the extremely limited info in the install manual which doesn't talk about wiring at all beyond hooking up to an HAI system.
If anyone gets an Omnistat2 and is attempting to hook up to HS, I'm extremely interested in if you get it to work via serial. I'm forced to be in wait mode until others try to get this configuration working. I can't get mine to work and I had a working RC-80B previously, and am using all the same wiring. Although I believe I'll try to replace the CAT5 cable between the PC and the thermostat since I recently had a lightning hit that caused my RC-80 to flake out.
