I am a long time HS 1.7 user who got the urge to try something new. I am bored with HS since it just runs and runs and runs (that's a good thing right?). I kind of lost interest in HA because there really wasn't anything to do. I downloaded trial versions of a few of the more popular systems but they don't seem to have the expandability or active support community.
I've been interested in Misterhouse for a few years, installing it a few times for a little while and then going back to HS - mostly because it has a steep (understatement) learning curve. Well, with all the talk about HS dropping support for the 1.7 product and I got the urge again, I thought I'd give it another, more serious shot.
This past Friday I shut down HS and fired up a clean copy of MH. With lots of reading and searching and reading and searching, I finally got it running at a minimum capacity where I think I have a good base to move forward. I have MH talking X10 to my Ocelot (actually a CPU-XA), W800rf32 talking with my Hawkeyes and DS10's, and phones through my 2 NetcallerID boxes. The only interface I haven't been able to get online is my Temp05. I am so pleased with how far I've gotten, I will probably not be going back to HS.
I am like a kid in a candy shop. There is so much to know, so much to do, and new people to meet. I remember feeling this way with my first version of Homeseer. I am excited again about HA - spending way too much time in front of my PC.
I write this because I would like to see who on this board is also running MH on a Windows platform to share information.
So, who's out there?
