Re: xAP Floorplan 1 released

["g8kmh" <lehane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not quite, although I can see other places where I'll translate the
raw values.

I'd like to display both the actual room temperature (from the TOM10
BSC device) and the setpoint (a global variable) and allow
manipulation of the global variable (slider or something similar). A
function, as part of the minute script, would then activate another
on/off BSC device (not shown on the floorplan).
