Here are the reasons I went with serial:
1. I already had other equipment (an Elan HA controller) talking to the Lutron main repeater and didn't want to cause any potential conflicts. The serial port could be devoted exclusively to talking with Indigo.
2. Serial doesn't require a username/password. t thought there might be a potential support issue for telnet users whose systems weren't set to default credentials or had one of the (four?) available telnet logins already assigned to another integration task.
3. Via (albeit informal) testing, it seemed that Indigo was more responsive when using a serial connection.
I hope that another technically inclined Indigo/Lutron user comes along eventually and takes on the task of adding ethernet support to the serial plugin so that we have one version that works for everybody.
sbe08: thanks again for recently sharing your ethernet version with our mutual friend and helping him get it running.
Cheers,
