It's not spam and you need neither forgiveness nor permission to pst it. There is nothing wrong with your periodic posting of announcements regarding your HA software.

Announcement of new products relating to home automation is distinctly and specifically on-topic for the newsgroup comp.home.automation (that's part of why it is called a _news_group ;-).

Thanks for adding the Aprilaire 8870 thermostat which is probably the most widely used thermostat in HA. It is supported by Crestron, AMX/Phast, HomeSeer, CyberHouse, others -- and now Charmed Quark. The one I lent you arrived back in ol Kaintuck just as the part of our HVAC system it is supposed to control died ...

The Aprilaire 8870 uses simple ASCII control over RS-485 developed by Enerzone for its StatNet products. When Aprilaire bought out Enerzone, they adopted and extended the StatNet protocol. It includes control of dampers, humidity sensors and so on and IMO is an excellent communication protocol for development of homebrew hardware including smart 'thermostats/controllers that incorporate multiple energy sources and energy cost management explicitly. (See other thread " New paradigm for home heating automation and control" .)
