    Lighting Automation Technologies: If you got to do it all over again

    I did a lot of reading and finally settled on Z-Wave. I went with the Leviton Vizia RF+ line and they have been working great. They are also integrated into my CQC home auto setup. Also, Leviton has a SDK for those that are inclined to deveop your own software...

    OK, new version is up. If you have the latest version, it should find the new version when you start the program. Otherwise, you can download it from the original link above. This update: - Allows all ports to be used - Fixes rounding issues when displaying power in the system tray - Adds the...

    TED allows you to set up events based on power consumption. For instance, you could setup an event named "HOTWATER" that is triggered everytime the power consumption increases 2.3KW. I just read those events and sum them up for the day.

    Quick update. I have made the port change and the system tray change. But, I also made some significant code changes to allow the app to utilize async functions when reading TED. All is working, I just have some fine tuning to do. Hopefully tomorrow I will have another drop.

    I see I need to correct the rounding... you should see .5. Simple enough, but due to the icon size I can only fit two numbers and the decimal point. I can change it to remove the leading zero and display ".48" though.

    Haha.. ok, I am playing around with some JavaScript... no promises. Also, I posted the latest version (same link as above). If you have the last version, it should automatically update when you close and re-open the app. In addition, here is a users manual.

    I don't see why you couldn't do a live page using just JavaScript to get and parse the XML page from TED. Maybe I'll play around with the idea.

    There is a new version that I am testing now that will automatically save the config when you close the program. It also has other features, including event monitoring. Here is a pick with event monitoring enabled: If you disable event monitoring, the window shrinks. I also put some docs...

    There is also a stand alone network app available that allows you to get data from TED across the network or internet (assuming you have your firewall and/or router setup up appropriately). I have attached the standalone app, or you can download it here. The download is uses an installer that...

    Which Home Automation software do you use?

    CQC. I really had no clue when I started and just started poking around. I was all set to buy HAI when I stumbled across CQC. When I realized that you could write your own interfaces (drivers) to connect to anything that can be communicated to using TCP, classic serial, USB, file based or...
