That would be very nice. But how did the laptop connect to the RC? Or was the laptop acting as the RC?

The original plan was to have the Operator Interface connected to the first GW21W, and have that GW connect to the other GW via the schools WiFi. This last GW would then send the OI data to the RC. But appentally, the OI and RC use non-spec communications...

I think pairing up the OI/RC works, as long as you have a remote kill switch. Talking to the RC via serial port with those adapters is likely to work much better.
When you say the serial port, do you mean the Program port, or the TTL pin-thingies?
