So my HS3 system is coming together nicely. Events and devices work well and everything has been stable. I finally got around to what for me is one of the most important aspects...HVAC integration. I had a Trane XL624 kicking around for a while and attempted an install yesterday. However to my horror my existing XL950 is wired with their proprietary 'fully communicating' system. It has just three wires (hot, common, and 'data'). As far as I can tell I can't use any other type of thermostat aside from their 850. I used to use Smart Things and somebody came up with a device handler that logged into the Nexia website as a way of controlling the thermostat but it looks like it would be a lot of work for HS3. Anyway not being able to control the thermostat is a huge blow for me and I cringe at the prospect of going back to Smart Things and its high latency events and mobile based management. Rewiring doesn't look like an option...am I overlooking anything else?
Thanks!
Thanks!
