Thanks for the help! It's working awesome now 
This is what I had to do to get it working.
I started with this driver and it paired but only as "device" (I tried a dozen times)
Following Soundersdudes advice, I used this driver and it paired right.
I needed the "switch" feature though to make my dashboard view the way I preferred, so I switched back to the first driver by bcopeland and then it worked. Strange, but it worked.
Thanks to the developers here for their hard work. I had a cobbled solution for a power failure before this (using a power failure sensor combined with a water leak detector), but this is an elegant solution now. Very pleased
