RIO seems to be working kinda OK, I don't think the plugin is sending the "WATCH" commands to the controller to monitor status events. The RIO protocol is pretty silent unless you ask it to start feeding you data about the system. You actually have to iterate through each controller, zone, and source and ask to watch it for status updates. So while Homeseer can control the Russound just fine, when a status change happens outside of Homeseer (such as via the Russound app, a keypad, etc) the real status of the system is not maintained inside Homeseer.
Blade, a massive improvement would be supporting RIO over IP instead of Serial. Right now I have it cobbled together with the com0com suite of stuff to make a dummy serial port that just redirects to a MCA-88X over an IP telnet session, port 9621. But any time I want to reboot the box, or need to to troubleshooting, I have to fire up the rube goldberg craziness of port redirection.
