You are correct - the online app is very nice. It gives a very consistent presentation and feature set whether you access it online, via IOS, or via Android devices. It doesn't interface with Indigo, though.
I see a couple of potential approaches:
* a script or an app that mimics an online user. Commands are sent to the web interface. Seems potentially easy to difficult, but more error prone.
* understanding the interface offered by the SAM (System Access Module), and sending commands and receiving results via a serial port on the SAM. I don't know if the right parts can be put together to do this wirelessly. My prospect doesn't think his computer has serial capability, but I've used USB to serial cables (and perhaps drivers, it's been a while) before. If serial i-o can be created on a Mac, routed via USB to a wireless transmitter that receives the signal near the thermostat, and connect to the SAM via a DB-9 connector (old style serial), I think we might have a usable (if complicated) way of handling this. The communication protocol manual seems pretty straightforward, I don't think the communication scripts would be difficult.
