Very frustrated now. Almond support for the Centralite thermostat is dated Oct 2014... its June 2016... going on 2 years later and ultimately it does not function reasonably at all.
On R085, status is always wrong.... shows wrong mode (heat, cool, off)... shows wrong temp (hi or low), shows wrong fan status, and all the other items I mentioned already. Similar to the garage opener... is it actually polling the real status???
Controlling via cloud or local does not function at all. It does not change the thermostat. In cloud mode the message is "sorry, could not save" and in local mode it says it saved but nothing changes on the thermostat. Perhaps it is timing out before the thermostat accepted and acknowledged?
The rules worked in R083 but as mentioned, I frequently had to delete and re-add the thermostat or the rules stopped working. I didn't test in R085 because without the other items functional, I just don't care.
