Names for multiple temp sensors in RCS Serial Thermostat

[danhi]

If there are multiple temperature sensors for the RCS Serial Thermostat, how can I get the name associated with each one? I don't see anything in the Thermostat API to do that (I can get the number of sensors and the values, just not the names associated with them).

Is the plugin for the RCS Serial Thermostat open source like the RCS X10 one?

The RCS proctocol has commands for SEND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE and SET REMOTE TEMPERATURE to get the wall unit to dislay the temperature from one of the 4 remote sensors.

If you look in the RCS Serial section of the board there was a thread on this recently on how to do this withc scripting.

Not exactly what I was looking for (I want to be able to tell the difference between the outside and inside temperature (or others if it supports more than one remote sensor). But since there's a RCS Serial forum, I'll move my question to there.

Thanks,

Understood. In re-reading my post, I wasn't direct in saying that I don't think you will see them as separate devices unless you find/write a script to that outcome.

What I'm doing is writing a plug-in that displays/controls Homeseer from an Android device. Currently when I display the details of the thermostat I use GetTemp to get the temperature. But one of my users has an outdoor sensor, which shows up as temp 1, and the indoor as temp 2. I'm trying to figure out how to display the different temperatures with the appropriate names.
