at least Parve :)

Yes...

I think that I just wanted to drive the Max/Min values from one set
of sensors... you could create a second set of Max/Min units, and/or
a 'master' set of overall Max/Min units...

And then if you have an additional 5 temp sensors on one RFXsensor
transmitter, you really can go to town with max/min units :)

Actually, I'm going to get with James (who now is RFX'd) and see
what he thinks is the best way to handle the Max/Min things ... praps
with unit properties ?

You're GO for throttle-up !

All this RFX stuff is a little more pricey than what we're used to
with X10, but really there are so many options, and with the 415Mhz
receivers, you can expand to the much cheaper Oregon Scientific
temp/humid sensors and lots of other stuff like wireless bath scales !!

The RFXsensor transmitter is a very clever way to sneak into the
1-wire world...

back on my head...tax time !
