Hi Kennetht,
I don't own the IMT350, but I have one here in my "lab" right now
Read Akatar's post above on how to order, it worked for him, so...
And shame on Vaillant customer support!!
If you want to know how a modulating thermostat works, read

And this going on for a long time now, looks like they have big problems or there is no API coming at all.
I mailed Proliphix but they are not ansewering also?
Lets hope it will be there soon....... I still like my Proliphiv very much, but only integrtated in my HA system, so with API!
it looks like you can order you're imt350

@Akatar:
You say, that you've ordered one directly from Proliphix?
As of now I still haven't received any mail from them yet, so maybe you can answer the following questions (Looks like you're from the Netherlands too):
What did you pay for the imt350c or imt350w?
What were the shipping costs?
Any trouble at Dutch customs or fee/fine?

I'm not into TVOH, so... here you see a IMT350 and a NT20e, controlled by the HomeSeer Proliphix Plugin:
- Temperature unit/scale = Celsius;
- 2 models, 1 with officialy unknown API, running side by side
Still need some testing, but everything looks OK...

@Akatar: That is $410 (thermostat + shipping - non express) + € 70 (Customs Fee) = € 310 + € 70 = € 380.
Do you think this is the unit for me? I don't have any domotica @home, but I'm getting interested reading this forum. I have a background in electronics and programming (intranets)
As far as I can see there is no alternative to this unit.
Should I buy this Proliphix?

If there are more people interested in a new thermostat we can place one order and share the shipping costs.

i have no idea.
you can wait for some people here, some of them are going to buy the imt and perhaps are selling their "old" nt10e or nt20e
should i buy or not is you're problem, don't make it my problem

I'm interested in sharing the shipping costs.
I think it's the right device.
Also reading that it responds well to the old API calls makes me happy. I can write simple Ajax calls to integrate the thermostat into a website. And possibly even make a Mobile site for android.
Who's going to make a list of interested people?

For those interested in the IMT series Thermostats, here's a little story about it and some images.
http://blog.hekkers.net/2011/01/23/the- ... x-imt350c/
It's not a review, nor is it a manual on how to implement your own DIY interfacing with it, it's just a small story about my "adventures" with this thermostat, which will soon go back to it's owner

Instead of buying the new imt350c, I'm also very interested in buying the "good old" nt20e from someone who wants to upgrade. I don't need ant fancy wall-mounted screens, just temperature and remote control possibilities.
I'd love to hear from someone who wants to sell the nt20e.

NT20e is still a good choice, if you don't need a humidity sensor, touch screen and don't mind the "looks" after seeing the IMT series.

The Proliphix Plugin is almost ready; all I have to do is change some things in recognizing the right thermostat model.
For the IMT series I added the display of the humidity.
