I’m hoping this will reach the maintainer of the Venstar Binding. Is there any chance of expanding the Venstar binding to the Explorer Mini series? (T2xxx models)?
I recently replaced most of my Radiothermostat CT-80’s with Venstar Mini T2000 thermostats. Unfortunately although the API is consistent between all Venstar models AFAICT the option to enable https and a password is not available on the Explorer mini series. So these thermostats will not seemingly work with OpenHAB.
These T2xxx thermostats are ideal for my situation, besides the authentication issue. They are inexpensive so for multi zone houses they are affordable and in addition they have features of remote sensors (like floor and duct) including wireless remotes that I have not seen since Proliphix days and have sorely missed.
I’m hoping the Venstar binding can be made more generic and cover the Explorer and Explorer mini products. As a contribution to the community I’d be happy to send a thermostat to the developers for experimentation.
