hello there. just trying to control a devireg 550 thermostat and not having much luck. using there own program (PC pro) and there network logger i have got some codes I.E 0x00040007 this code seems to toggle the thermostats on/off problem is get seem to get this code to work via pac. so i thought maybe this is a proper HEX code and not just a simple string. Is there a way that this code should be written i.e. with a $ or a # or something so that the devicom unit understands this code. Also do you need to "handshake" with the 3rd party device or can you just throw a correct code at it and it will work. handshake code seems to be 0x000B0000 cheers justinw :confused:
