Well, I already have a few scripts that run every 30 seconds, so what's a few more. Except for feeding data into a few other plug-ins via devices, most everything else can use the APIs to populate custom web pages, and even mainlobby for that matter. Actually, I THINK MainLobby has buillt in functionality for thermostats. If not, you should be able to call the APIs within Mainlobby, granted I haven't tried it as of yet. Yes, it is extra work, and yes, the devices will only be as accurate as often as the scripts are executed. Granted, I don't believe the thermostat information in HS is exactly real time either for obvious reasons and will only be as accurate as to whatever your polling is set to, I think... Hmm, maybe that is a question for RJ, when you call the APIs, are the results of the APIs read directly from the thermostat, or are the results from the API read from HS, which is only updated every 60 seconds or whatever your polling is set to?
