Premise Thanks 123

[manxam]

123, I'm new to home automation and am currently starting with Premise; we'll see where it takes me.

I just want to say thanks for keeping this particular forum alive. You could just keep all of the information that you gathered to yourself but it appears that you spend alot of time ensuring that it's available to everyone.

I really appreciate that. Far too often on the internet I see someone accomplish something with technology and then don't want to explain how they did it, or share their findings.

Again, thanks.

Manxam,

Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. I enjoy automating my home and I believe Premise is an excellent tool for this purpose. I believe most Cocooners feel the same way about Home Automation and we all come here to share our successes, failures, and expertise. Welcome to Cocoontech!

PS
I mentioned your post to my wife to help justify the many hours I dedicate to this obsession!

I second that. 123 has taught me a great deal in the past 6 months. Thank you 123!

Yes, 123 has helped me also. Maybe 123 should get a Premise forum MVP award.

I have learned a lot since 123 joined. John in Va got the SYS passion rolling with the Yahoo forums; 123 sent it to a new level.

Still rock solid SW. Making it better with some rock solid forum support!

And I am posting this at 31k on AA flight fm DFW to SJC! (where on my flight out I remote desktop'd into my WHS, fixed a bug my wife found, and downloaded some xdos....isnt technology grand? (GOGO WIFI)

Brian - lets not get tooooo friendly .

I agree 123 does alot for the Premise community and should be thanked but I also think alot of thanks need to go to Dan for hosting a dedicated Premise forum. The truth is that Premise is used by a very small fraction of the CocoonTech readers but has a dedicated presence thanks to Dan. Premise could have easily been homeless.

This wasn't meant to be an "all hail 123" thread but just a quick thanks as *I* appreciate his efforts. No doubt there are a tonne of people on Cocoon that are influential, helpful, or actually run the thing and I appreciate their efforts as well. I just haven't had any dealings with them yet.

Ok, back to Premise.

Won't have my zwave stuff till Wednesday. What is a boy to do???

I don't think this is a 'hail 123', but Dan deserves, thanks, otherwise Premise could have become the first Homeless Automation System

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

It really does take a great deal of time and effort to maintain this level of Premise support. I spend countless hours reading hardware and software manuals, studying the design of existing drivers, writing and testing new ones, documenting and distributing my work, and responding to questions here and via PM. I'm currently testing a new text-to-speech driver I've written and look forward to sharing it with other Premise users.

The Premise community is indebted to Dan's generosity. Our old home on Yahoo Groups, PremiseSYSCommunity, (defunct; currently a magnet for pornvertisements) was free but offered limited services. Dan has always been very receptive and Cocoontech 2.0's services are outstanding. Thank you, Dan!
