DIscovered the problem and it is now fixed. Please update to the latest version of the driver. If auto update is enabled then it'll update itself upon next check in.

There is an iPhone app (not sure if they have an android version) called Watt. You can enable night mode and it will turn off the white ring all the time. Works quite well, although from what i recall you can only connect to a few devices before you need to purchase a license. For me I only needed to modify 2 lights so it worked perfectly, havent touched it since I configured the two switches.

That's awesome news. I wondered if it was messages too long, I removed my longer notifications to test. The service has been bulletproof otherwise. Thanks for the update Alan.

coredyn reacted to bnet in Trane HVAC system
I've been down this road with my HVAC installer for years and from what I'm told (and read and have slowly come to believe) - my system, like yours, is a "communicating" system and requires the trane "communicating" tstats. I've looked into all kinds of 3rd party tstats and even research a serial connection directly to the unit (there is a serial port for diagnostics) but with no luck.
I'm also the victim of the houselogix driver mentioned above - they told me 2 years ago they knew about the issues and even offered a refund - should have taken it! They also said they were going to stop selling it but I see it is still available. They do have a bunch of great drivers but they acquired this driver and have no plans to update/fix it. I asked to buy it, license it, anything to try and get it working but had no luck. Not integrating HVAC into a home automation solution seemed crazy...
Having never written a C4 driver and being fairly confident I didn't want to, I wrote a node.js app that I called the NGS (Nexia Gateway Server) to proxy requests from C4 to Nexia (via the TCP Command driver) that then talks to the tstats. It worked well for what it was and I've been happily using it for over year... until...
Curiosity got the best of me and I recently ported it over to Control4/lua world. And now, I'm honestly not sure what to do with it. I've developed for many years but this is my first "real" Control4 driver, this is not my business or my trade but if someone wants to help me make sure it works in the real world, I would share it. It should work with any Nexia connected tstats.

Thats exciting to hear development on the hs220. I tried getting it to work with the existing driver but it wasn't very stable and ended up returning them. I would love to be able to add some of these!

I thought I would share my recent addition to my system. I have a Kohler DTV+ shower that has a network interface as well as a web portal for minor changes and has some control over the device.
I decided to peek around and inspect some of the web elements to discover a repeatable URL that I can use to trigger shower start and stop. You can discover these by simply using 'Inspect' in chrome for example and log the devices activty as you activate/deactivate the shower for example.
Below are the two commands I am currently using in my system, you can modify the valve outputs and temperature. Mine right now is set only to turn on valve 1 at 38C. Right now I use these links as an image in announcements (to trigger the weblink as an image on my T3), I then have it linked to custom buttons on my bathroom screen as well as IFTTT/google assistant (OK Google, turn on the shower) . I do not have the Chowmain driver to push weblinks but I think I will update to use that to trigger the URL in the future.

OFF: http://IPADDRESS/stop_shower.cgi?_=1529517501635
It is not flawless, and I would caution when trying to discover the correct links if you enter one incorrectly the Kohler web portal will become non-responsive and you need to power cycle it (this took many power cycles for me to figure out correctly).
Nonetheless, I can now tell my shower to turn on an off which I was quite excited about.
