Re: [mh] Any HAI RC-80 (90,1xx) updates -> getting rid of sleep?

[Marc M. <ma...@me...>]

Speaking of which, I've been reading the code to see how I can query my
stat's current mode (i.e. not whether it's in cool mode, but whether it's
currently sending the cool command to my thermostat).

While reading, I noticed why I was getting those pauses in mh:

Omnistat.pm:
  # send it to thermostat
  $main::Serial_Ports{Omnistat}{object}->write($cmd);

  # need to wait a bit for the reply
  sleep 2;

  # read response
  &main::check_for_generic_serial_data('Omnistat');
  my $temp = $main::Serial_Ports{Omnistat}{data};


Err, what can we done to remove that sleep? The sleep can cause problems
with insteon and other protocols.

This is sepcfically a problem in my case because I query both my thermostats 
every minute, which causes 4 seconds lost every minute, which is quite bad.

Can this be changed for a timer callback or somesuch?

Thanks,
Marc
