Has anyone written anything for this thermostat (or the statnet protocol) for FreeBSD? Alternately, if I indeed have to write my own interface program, where can I find example code that handles the serial port in C? (I haven't gotten around to learning C++) I plan to poll the thermostat after sending commands, so I don't need to worry about interrupts (I don't think), and I have the full protocol from the manufacturer. At this point, I would like to roughly duplicate "bottlerocket", and use Perl scripts to handle the logic. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
