just to say i haven't forgotten about this. I have made a way of instead
of using the current on/off or fader popups you can make it popup any
html. I just need to get a  good way of getting data back from them.
I'll keep you posted

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).
