HouseBot

Is this a plugin we might see soon?

That would be nice. Cool form factor.

The current USB Z-Wave controller works fine with Housebot though.

Have you tired that?

Yes I have tried the Z-wave system controlled with Housebot through the Homepro USB controller. It works as long as you don´t try to turn on more than one device at a time, the controller hangs for several minutes. Sometimes you need to reboot the computer.

And don´t get me started on adding and deleting devices from the network. It simply doesn´t work. If you want to add a device you need to reset everything and re-add all the devices. It´s a pain.

I´m not using the system right now and thought I might have better luck with the Intermatic controller if I decide to install it again.

For now I´m using a simple control system called "Nexa". It´s not two-way so you can´t get status from the devices, but then again that didn´t work anyway with Z-wave so thats no big deal.

It is nice. Unfortunately written in .NET. So I probably won't be implementing a plugin anytime soon.
