Hi,
I have a lighting system that a customer wants to integrate with Homeseer. There is no plug-in for the lighting system. It's called Wattstopper by Legrand. It does have a serial module and I've got a list of the commands for. Its' using ASCII. My plan is to use scripts to send and receive data to the Wattstopper serial module. My question is is it wise to leave the COM port open at all times when not sending a command or receiving a response. Also, there is a command for requesting the status of a giving light. To get a "real-time" like feedback it is wise to keep sending the command to request light status every second or two? By doing this will I crash HS3?
Thanks
