It's been about a year, but the Fitbit one didn't work for me. Excited to know how it works out and ideas!

Sorry to cross post, but I did a similar thing wiring a Raspberry Pi, high voltage relay (I used the Sainsoft prewired stuff), and wiring directly to my thermostat. I had to use a multimeter as the thermostat went to different stages to kind of reverse engineer it. Here is a script as an example that runs to my project dashboard. https://github.com/flores/lotomation/blob/master/bin/ghetto-nest.rb Starting on line 22 you can see how I had to wire it for my particular thermostat. It took quite a bit of time to fiure out which pins fired and when. It ended up looking like the pictures here: https://github.com/flores/lotomation#hvac-control This post here talks about the temperature sensing part and has a video demo. Maybe you can rework some of that stuff for your project? http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/13525-pi-1wire-interface-methods/?do=findComment&comment=120749 Some things I learned that I did not realize until doing it: * It's really high voltage and potentially I am afraid about my HVAC running all day because of a bug in my code (both because of cost but more importantly fire risk!) * the program above has some built-in safties because of the above: ** If the HVAC has been running for an hour straight, it turns off automatically and sends me a text (with a link to turn it back on if I want). ** If the power goes out and turns back on, the relays default to off mode. This way if I have a power outtage or the Raspberry-Pi crashes while the HVAC is on, it will kill itself and stay off. I had to wire the relays in reverse (default off) but this is easy with the Sainsoft stuff. Just ideas/sharing!

Thanks Kevin for mentioning this project and telling me about the ISY! I'm planning on working on an update to track multiple Bluetooth devices per an idea of Kevin's (how cool would it be if your partner/roommate/family/etc could trigger various devices they pick?!) and when I do will post, but I've just been busy with other things and my laptop doesn't have Bluetooth to test with Hi Michel. I'll send a PM with my email. I'd love to try and write some stuff to work with ISY to make this as easy as possible. Also, it sounds like iterating over the ISY nodes to control multiple devices is totally doable and I'm happy to add the auth stuff Kevin mentioned.
