Presently the plugin does not give any indication if it has lost communication with the thermostat. The feature request is that it alert somehow that it has stopped receiving data from the tstat. Ideally the plugin would have an event trigger for lost comms but even a periodic error message to the logfile would be of benefit.
I’ve had two occasions now where I’ve had a problem with my furnace that has shut down the unit and has taken the thermostat, a TR16, offline as well. The one time a fuse had blown in the control circuit so the tstat was without power. Therefore, it couldn’t respond to any polls. From what I could see via the plugin though nothing was wring – I could apparently still change setpoints and change modes with never an error shown. It seems like once initialized that it assumes that all messages sent get through even if it never sees any response from the unit..
A helpdesk/request has also been entered.
