Any Proliphix thermostat users?

Are there any Proliphix thermostat users on this board?

I'm looking to find out what people like and don't like about them....

Thanks!

I've got one and it works very well for me. The API gives you full access. I use it with cron and curl, and Indigo/AppleScript. It really shines when I'm not there, I can programatically keep my critical pipes just warm enough. I've got a separate thermometer next to them (not another Proliphix probe, because I already had it, but that would work too).

It's not a 7 programable thermostat, it only has In, Out and Away modes with 4 time periods each. When I'm there I just run the In program. That works OK for my schedule but 7 day would have been nice. Of course you could still use the API.

Also note, the installation requires a cable be run from a proprietary power/network unit.
