I have been playing with Powerhome lately and since I mostly use my Elk M1 to set up rules,Tasks and Timed events I never really messed with PH for that stuff . I recently upgraded to the latest Beta 2.1b of PH and it Kinda got me playing around with the new timer & Control wizards. Then I decided to take it a bit further and try and set up some Macros. Then it dawned on me that there is now easy or obvious way to do conditional Macros with IF,Then, Else stuff. It is real easy to do this stuff with ELK RP using the M1 as the controller.
I know PH power users with a programmer mentality find this stuff a no brainer but for me its about as convoluted as it can be. I love PH for setting up my Insteon Network and configuring links and simple Triggers and macros are pretty easy but for more complex stuff it is just not for regular folks.
I searched for some 101 on this sorta stuff and did not come up with much useful information. I would like to see a Setting up Powerhome Conditional Macros and Timers for Dummies.
Now I am sorta rethinking my setup and considering using an ISY-99 controller connected to my ELK-M1 instead of my current PH-M1 setup.
I guess I am just asking for opinions or advice on staying with PH or jumping to ISY.
