If you can actually do that on the Windows command line then yes you can adapt this to VC using the Launch.Capture action.
We have tried to adapt this python code to the VC python plugin but for some reason this code is not compatible with iron python. One theory is that iron python has trouble with https (secure) web pages.
We are currently working on a solution using only VC actions (scrape, regex, maps etc.) and we are making excellent progress, so just hang on for a few days and we should have something that you can use to query or set the temperature, home/away mode, and fan mode.
The solution also involves some updates to the main VC program so it will be necessary to install the latest VC version when we release it.
Keep an eye on our twitter feed, or Google plus community to know when the new version is available.
