Hi Jerry,
I have fixed these problems, which the exception
of the TEMP monitoring. I assume that it is sending
some X-10 command(s) when you change the temp at
the thermostat ?
To verify, please:
1) Press ALT-T in ECS.
2) Change temp at thermostat.
3) Press ALT-T.
4) Email me ELG.TMP.

I'll be uploading later today.

Thanks
