I realize I'm replying to a stale thread here...
Here's a summary of plugin status:
NuHeat Thermostat plugin has been mostly working for me for several years now. My NuHeat device reports settings and status and settings can be changed from Indigo.
I have previously noticed and reported that the plugin occasionally gets into a broken state. It is not clear exactly what causes it, but I notice it occasionally - roughly every month or two. In this state, it will spit a lot of error messages to the logs. I can recover from this state simply by doing a reload on the plugin.
Additionally, I have recently noticed another problem whereby it seems that my existing NuHeat devices that I've already set up are working, however it seems that when I go through process of setting up a thermostat, the plugin doesn't "see" any available thermostats and the pulldown menu where you would normally select one is empty. (looks like the same problem reported below by Archerpilot).
Finally, I can see that the Indigo Plugin Store shows this device as potentially EOL and not supported by the next Indigo version after 2022.2 - presumably due to it not being ported to Python 3?.
A quick check seems to indicate that the author (who has contributed some valuable plugins) hasn't been active on these forums for a while. The last visible code change I can see on GitHub is from late 2017.
So I definitely don't want to overstep, but I am curious if there are ideas about the future path of this plugin? Would the author perhaps like to open it up to someone else adopting it?
