Thank you both for the reply. I will look at both solutions because time is running out and I don't want to complicate things any further. I am actually looking at adding the door wreath to the project though, and that is going to have a BeagleBone Black or single core RPi in it. I see there are open-source controllers out there that run on Linux so I am optimistic about that. I would imagine that I need to have a Pro Mini attached to whichever I use that functions as a gateway? Maybe a ESP8266 but that would probably be overkill considering a BBB or RPi can use a wifi dongle. hek - do you have any links to info about how to set that repeater up? Thanks again! I appreciate the replies!

OK, this worked and I am encouraged! I haven't figured out how to get the status LED's to work yet though, since they just stay on (after enabling it in the config H file). Unless I missed it though, I do not know what the fields are that are output via serial. If I do not find the info, I guess I could just reverse-engineer the software to figure out how to send simple data back and forth from each unit. Pretty cool library! Heavy though, but not as heavy as expected. I still have room for my RGB LED effects processing. Now I just need to see if my interrupt handling using timer1 is going to hose this library. Any thoughts?
