Envisalink3 + CT50 + TPI Temperature Reporting?

[jcwren]

I've got a CT-50 and Envisalink-3, and enabled periodic temperature broadcasts via the 057 command, but I never get a 561 message. The HTML page on the Envisalink displays the temperature on the thermostat, so it "knows" about it.

Shouldn't it be emitting a 561 message periodically?

If not, what's the recommended way to poll the thermostat(s) for the temperature?

The documentation for the TPI was written before the STAT50 integration. Currently you will only get a temperature broadcast if you have an EMS100 thermostat.

I believe there will be support in the TPI for the STAT50 in the next firmware release. I will leave it to @Kman to confirm this.

Until then, how does one get the temperature? Is the E3 actively polling it, does the CT50 send a periodic UDP broadcast, or what?

No idea. You could maybe "scrape" it from the local Envisalink page. It will show the current temperature there.

The EMS-100 and the Stat50 use a common API on the Envisalerts side of things so it will be easy to add support in the TPI.

Such additions usually don't warrant a firmware release and the bug report list is empty. When we get the feature added we may release it as part of a "on request" firmware update.

Any traction on this request?

Thanks!
