Alan,
The RC-80 plugin looks fabulous! However, I (as well as some others, judging from the posts over the past year) have an issue with calls to RC-80 thermostats hanging Homeseer. Using the scripts, this manifested itself as a dialog box saying that the script had taken too long to execute, causing me to have to reboot the whole machine to get Homeseer working again (merely pressing cancel left the system frozen). I put all kinds of tracing in the script and was never able to pinpoint where the hang was occurring, and for which thermostat (I have 2). I was hoping the plugin could handle this timeout situation (which is not really a timeout as the script defined it), but this morning, I tried switching the window focus to Homeseer and got a dialog box to the effect that "Another application is busy, click to switch to it". The outside temperature had also stopped displaying on the thermostats. Clicking the "Switch to" button on this dialog box had no effect, and I had to exit Homeseer to get everything working again (although it seems like other events were able to process in the meantime). Can anyone shed some light on why this happens with RC-80s (I get it once every 3-5 days), and suggest how Alan can work around it in his excellent plugin? This is my only Homeseer stability issue, and the outside temp display is the only thing my wife likes in my whole HA implementation!
