Hello,
I am currently thinking about upgrading my controller at home but to be honest I am a bit lost with all the options and the investments I have made in modules. I am after some advice. If it helps I am in Australia.
My current system is as follows
- Homevision Pro + 2 x I/O Expansion Modules (i2c)
- X10, I leverage an XTB-IIR and have approx 60 modules and the house is reliable
- Serial
* Innerrange Integriti - 36 PIR's, door locks etc. (my eyes of the house)
* NAD multi channel audio
- Digital / Analogue IO, approx 20 digital inputs, 5 analogue inputs and 15 outputs
- One Wire, Dallas DS1820s digital temp sensors, I have 8 of them
- Integration - I leverage a lot of AWS native services as glue (I work for Amazon) and need the ability to call Powershell / Node or another script engine
- Amazon Alexa via HA Bridge
- I use NetIO
I have a quick look on the market but can't find something that really meets my needs. I have a large X10 investment and really would like to leverage these units. I also need an even based system where if something occurs on a serial port (such as activity in a zone or door is opened) then my controller can take action.
My issues I am finding with the Homevisio Pro are
-8 bit, makes programming a bit annoying
-I have a lot of events occurring. With an alarm system spewing out a stream like a firehose the controller slows down from time to time and it can become annoying
Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
Thanks Shane
