Hi Damon,

In an ideal world each TRV would be an XAP endpoint so that it can report
its status, Temp, Target and Valve status.

However that would require some cleverness in the TRV, so I'm thinking that
would be in the Rpi. The XAP Floorplan windows app allows me to do if/then
things and also timers and buttons.

So i think a Rpi as the central point which reads temps from room and can
control a TRV. I can the code up a XAP interface. and either put the
schedule in the Rpi or in XAP Floorplan.

Regards

Paul
