*When commands are sent to Honeywell Home, unless they fail validation, they are accepted immediately and queue for final delivery to the thermostat.  E2H will poll for status of the delivery for up to the success timeout.  If it responds with “Succeeded”, the command has been sent and accepted by the end device.  If it responds with “Failed” the error is logged and if you have re-tries enabled, it will try again.  Most commands are accepted in under 60 seconds.

Log API Requests

Check this option to generate DEBUG log entries for each request from Events2HVAC to the Honeywell Home system.  This is primarily used temporarily for troubleshooting.  The logger must be logging DEBUG events for this data to show up in the log files.

Log API Responses

Check this option to generate DEBUG log entries for each response from the Honeywell Home system.  This is primarily used temporarily for troubleshooting.  The logger must be logging DEBUG events for this data to show up in the log files.

Note:  Make sure you turn this feature off after troubleshooting so that the response files don’t fill up your hard drive.
