Having done home automation for decades now, for me it's a hard pass on "there will be" promises. It's either shipping or it's vaporware.

myServer has been around and working well for several years. Mostly in commercial projects. There are many Homeseer users using myServer 5 now.wkearney99 said:Having done home automation for decades now, for me it's a hard pass on "there will be" promises. It's either shipping or it's vaporware.
This looks interesting, thanks! Has anyone on this board tried it?upstatemike said:I guess you might want to maintain both if there is enough non-overlapping functionality that prevents you from doing everything you want with just one or the other.
Maybe time to take another look at Omnipotence from ECS? https://omnipotencesoftware.com/wpr.htm

POWERLINE INTERFACE MODULE - IP (PIM-IP)
Mark S. said:I'm watching this thread with interest. Homeseer works, but I am fed up with the undelivered promises, the arrogant and dismissive responses, and the way they strand long-standing functionality (e.g., HSPhone). But I have not been able to find other software that integrates with all ELK M1 and Sonos as completely as HS does. Thank goodness for the plugin developers - HS would be nothing without them.
I was about to jump into Home Assistant, but after reading the above, I might be wasting my time.
I looked at ECS some time ago, and it was not nearly as comprehensive as HS. It is interesting that ECS says it works with Stargate - maybe I should dust mine off and go old school. Nah.
I have not looked at Allonis since the Main Lobby days, so I will give that a look.
I am open to any suggestions.

It is very "easy button" and you do not have to be technical to use it. Way different than using Homeseer or Home Assistant.

Times change, people that are used to doing things one way don't often adapt to any notions of doing it any differently.
