HVAC Controller erratic command response

System: CommandFusion/iPad talking to RadioRa via telnet or via telnet through a Moxa IP to RS232 (RS232 or IP communication)

The HVAC controller is very erratic when sending a response.

For example, #HVAC,21,2,71,75 should respond with ~HVAC,21,2,71,75

It will do this once and will not respond to additional commands until 5 to 10 seconds have elapsed.

For now, I am sending a query command following any command the controller.

Cool SetPoint down command (cool/heat are stored variables set by the last response from the HVAC controller)

Code:

#HVAC,21,2,{{[heat]-1****,{{[cool]-1****\x0D\x0A?HVAC,21,2\x0D\x0A

That doesn't work either.

The HVAC controller simply takes a LOOOOONG time to respond/react to a command to change setpoints.

... making it kind of a worthless part for 3rd party integration. If you send a setpoint command and then query the hvac controller for the current setpoint it will report the previous setpoint for quite a while before finally reporting it correctly. So a basic function like 'cool set point down 1 degree' is essentially worthless.

The TouchPro temp controller doesn't do that (works correctly). I would just use those instead but you can't use a remote temperature sensor (LRF2-TWRB) with the TouchPro thermostat.

I don't want to stick TouchPro's in customer space. I'd rather have them remotely and attach a remote temperature sensor (LRF2)
