@jpmJoel Michael special shout out to my house's German HRV system which uses 5 volt i2c for the bus from the ventilation unit to the wired remote, and the ventilator shoots raw 7-segment display data at general call while the remote(s) send button presses to... general call also

@jpmJoel Michael I wish that were all
my model came with a newer graphical LCD remote with nice menus and such. how? it turns out it constantly sends button presses to scroll through the 7 segment display items and scrape the values. when you want to change something, it scrolls to the parameter and sends up and down presses. oh and presses randomly get dropped so it has to keep checking the display and sending more presses. it feels like a small, frustrated person is trapped inside
