Thanks for sharing, good info. I would hope that the technology had improved considerably with machine learning and cloud being the norm these days. I'm surprised about their business model though: one time hardware cost and no ongoing subscription fees? In this day and age with almost...

Has anyone seen this? https://sense.com Interesting concept, might check it out

Just read your post again - does the ELK have an API? I have an OmniPro and there's a C library that I can use on Linux for this sort of thing.

Do you have an IP gateway to front end the UPB devices? If so, then it should be possible to do this for way less than $600. I'm controlling my home theater through a global cache gc100 with a custom skill in Alexa. The way it works is Alexa interprets voice commands and makes a call to a home...

I know cloud connected is not very popular around here but this is pretty significant news considering AWS' dominance in the cloud space: http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/08/amazon-announces-aws-iot-a-platform-for-building-managing-and-analyzing-the-internet-of-things/    

Another HA controller in the making? http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/08/google-onhub-review-googles-smart-home-trojan-horse-is-a-200-leap-of-faith/

I've been using Chuck Cannon's library on my FreeBSD box for a few years now. Although the code is pretty old, it works for what I use it for. Here's an example of what the output might look like:   % sudo /usr/local/bin/hai zones 50 : BreezewayDoor : 030, Secure, Latch Secure...

Wow, thanks Jim! This is great info. Why max of 20? Not that I think I would need more than that but just curious.

  Have you tested them with Space? Do they work well? I would like to order some but wanted to hear if they work well.   Thanks.

I have space 1.03 and Omni firmware 3.14a. When trying to add a new rtsp camera, as soon as I finish adding and click on the preview, the app crashes. When I reopen app, the recently added camera is gone.

Do you have release notes somewhere or a list of new features as compared to Haiku? Your website says "we're working on it". Also, any success stories of using iBeacons from certain vendors? I bought the app last night and looking to pull the trigger on some tags now.

Just came across this: www.iotivity.org It looks like they just released the preview for Linux after CES. It's a framework for devices to communicate with each other via agreed upon APIs, they list support for BT/BLE/WiFi/Zwave among others. Still very early to judge whether this will go...

I just learned that my last firmware update to the Email board (version 1.3 I think) changed the "burned in" MAC address on the LAN port. How do I know this? I have static DHCP reservations for every endpoint on the network and strict firewall rules permitting Internet access only from certain...

Not what you are looking for but at least someone else is also thinking about this: http://www.wink.com/products/quirkyge-refuel-propane-tank-gauge/

Hi,   New UI looks nice but I'd like to hear more about new features. For example, I like the added support for iBeacons and can see some use cases for that.   Thanks!
