'Many' is not good enough. Really has to be all.

 

First, my answer was to your comment that "What is probably needed is another communication standard to supersede all the others".

 

Second, I disagree that a lack of built in protocols is the issue (or the primary issue).

 

Even those units that have the required communication protocol built in still don't offer up all available parameters to the user, or a meaningful way to control them.

 

The real issue is interfaces and a lack of understanding of how these units actually work.

 

Look at all of the posts in the ASHP sub-forum over the last couple of weeks. How many of the problems involve installers and users of ASHPs not getting even basic commissioning settings correct?

 

As an example, the installation manual that came with my unit is woefully short on detail (see my complaint earlier today about programming the timer), and I'm severely limited in my ability to control or change parameters remotely unless I want to retrofit an expensive communication box and sign up for cloud control.
