Roomie Remote and Insteon (Thermostats)

So I think Roomie is going to be my iOS unified Automation app of choice. Its complicated but you can design remotes to work EXACTLY how you work, and it has fairly decent integration with every single device I use. I will be able to control my Hue Bulbs, Insteon equipment, and all my AV stuff in every room from one app.

I've run into a programing snag though.

When programing in my Insteon Thermostat adapter (Venstar Thermo w/ V2 Insteon adapter) into a Roomie remote, I'm having trouble getting the right feedback from the Thermostat.

I've attached screenshots below, but basically I have two buttons turning temps up and down (using the brighten and dim commands sent to the Therm) and those are working.

However the "Feedback" I'm getting doesn't make sense to me. I have a window showing feedback from my thermostat's primary node, but I'm getting a number that fluctuates between 144-146. I don't know what this means. I originally thought it was my temp being displayed in a range from 1-250 the way insteon sometimes reports stuff, but the number doesn't change with either set temp or with current temp.

Is there a different node I should be entering to get current temp/set temp feedback?

The ambient temp comes back as a number which is * 2 (in .5 degree increments). Divide the response by 2.

 

144 / 2 = 72.0 degrees.
