Not yet, the widget doesn't handle the timeout, which means you're
forced to use timers on the host to detect RDM timeouts. It's hard to
do host based time which is accurate at the sub millisecond level
which leads to all sorts of problems.

That said, I'd drop Enttec support an email and let them know you'd
like to do this. If enough people do it they may release new firmware
which we can use.

For the benefit of future Googlers and myself Simon, should this now work with the 2.4 firmware and OLA?

Correct. If you look in the logs olad will disable RDM support if the
firmware is < 2.4.

Indeed it did thanks (once I got round a bug in the code of the responder I was testing it with). It also now doesn't list RDM support in ola_dev_info if your firmware is too old.
