Homeseer is running a promo for upgrades from 1.7 to 2.0 so I spent some time over on the Homeseer site to see if it is something I should consider. After reading a bunch of stuff there I am totally confused and I need somebody that is using the new version to help me understand some things:
1- Is the new version 2.0 or 2.1? The promo talks about 2.0 but a lot of discussions on the site refer to things that "require 2.1".
2- Does the JDS/Stargate plugin work with 2.x at all? Or is this something that won't be resolved any time soon?
3- I have the VWS plugin from Ambient but this is no longer mentioned on the site. Would I need to switch to a new weather plugin for VWS? Does the old Ambient one work with 2.x at all? Is there a new version from Ambient?
4- The Way2Call modem talks about working with Homeseer Phone software but the Homeseer 2.0 features list states that the phone function is now built-in to Homeseer but licensed separately. Does the Way2Call work OK with this built-in phone app? (The new phone app is not mentioned in the Way2Call description)
5- Is it true that the Insteon plugin has serious problems?
6- Is there a Slimserver plugin available or in development?
Any clarification on these points is appreciated!
