FWIW - I get decent "people detection" with the Sighthound Video app:   https://www.sighthound.com/products/sighthound-video

I'd try right-clicking the Installer Tool on the Start Menu and select More > Run as Administrator.

I'm using the Installer Tool with Windows 10 and the VRUSB.  At startup does it prompt to run as administrator?

The web page for the HAI plug-in indicates “beta release only for now” and “thermostat support (TBD)”…have you found that the software is stable and reliable enough that it’s worth the $49.99?

Thanks for the info.  I haven’t spent a lot of time researching the HomeSeer stuff, when you refer to a “3rd party” HAI plugin is that something different than what I see on the HomeSeer website at...

Is this using the existing HAI Software plug-in or something new?

I have a similar setup with a heat pump and gas furnace backup.  I’m using the “dual fuel heat pump” type with “auto changeover” mode, and the system is working as you described…switching over to the gas furnace with the temperature drops below 35.    My guess is that you could switch the...

And to add my experience -   I’ve also switched over to SMTP2GO…initially I was having trouble with emails being caught in spam filters and no SMS messages on Verizon phones.  I changed the “E-Mail From Address” to something in the smtp2go.com domain (e.g. [email protected]) and now I’m not have...

Thanks for the suggestion, Pete.  I've tried with the battery disconnected...no luck.

I’m looking at one of the CasaTunes wired packages for providing whole house audio. Does anyone have experience with the CasaTunes amps and keypads? How does the system compare with similar offerings from Nuvo and Russound?

I’ve got a Leviton VRCPG zwave controller that’s constantly waking up from standby.  The device instantly wakes up after the inactivity time out or after I hit the StandBy button.  I’ve had the device for years with no problems.   I’ve tried different timeout values in the settings, the device...

I contacted Leviton about the availability of a Vizia RF+ dimmer that would support dimmable LED lighting.  I’m looking for the same functionality as the VRI06 but able to work with LEDs.  Levition’s response indicated that their ELV dimmer (VRE06) might work…depending on the fixture or bulb.  ...

I have nothing triggered on the aux zone at this time, the zone is completely unused at this point.

I’ve checked the configuration and zone type, along with refreshing the cache.   I’ve had this “phantom perimeter zone” issue for a while now.  It finally became clear a few nights ago when we woke up to the tone at about 2:30 in the morning.  After verifying that the alarm had been set (which...
