Not sure what "internal broker info" means. Is there nothing we can look at to confirm this?Originally posted by George View PostComment

You have to come from the world of M&A, due diligence and company acquisition acumen to know what that means. It means the terms are secret and only a few are contacted.Originally posted by upstatemike View PostComment

I started re-reading this entire thread, and apropos of the "How I got into HA/computers/electronics" detour, I think I have you all beat.

I like this unit because it does not rely on the Internet and will keep running during a power failure.Originally posted by JimSpy View PostI started re-reading this entire thread, and apropos of the "How I got into HA/computers/electronics" detour, I think I have you all beat.

It appears that WGL Designs is no longer in operation. Warren's website (wgldesigns.com) is not operational and it's difficult to find Rain8 or W800 products available for sale. I believe HomeControls had carried the line in the past year or 2 but am not sure. We carried the line for years also and sold the last of our stock in 2017.Comment

That's a shame. At the time the W800 became available, it helped make X10 work so much better and with that, HS1, too. It was kind of a game changer for me with the addition of all the security devices that were now working easily with HS1. I added DS10As to EVERYTHING just because I could! And I could have motion detectors EVERYWHERE and they wouldn't mess with the 16 X10 channels. I went from 20ish devices to 60+ in a matter of weeks. X10 cloud boxes showed up every few days! Anyone get the corkscrew/bottle opener/TV Remote? I had 20 of them! Gave them to non-automation friends just because.... Those were fun and exciting times thanks to the W800 and its companion plug-in!Originally posted by macromark View Post

Looks like they are now officially dead. Website is still up but the domain name should be available soon.Originally posted by macromark View PostComment

I still have a W800 but it's been out of service for a couple years I guess. I was only using it for a couple Hawkeye motion sensors and slim switch wall controllers. There are very few home automation companies around that we also around when I started with HomeSeer nearly 18 years ago. As of today, looks like SmartHome is another casualty.Originally posted by outbackrob View PostComment

I still have a W800 on the wall and still connected and working with HS 1.7 and it's plugin. The resultant remotes and wireless X-10 devices are long gone so I should go downstairs and unplug it most likely. I just hate touching the 22 year old HS 1.7 Pentium 4 machine with it's 22 yr old power supply and all! Even if it's just to redo the plugin list and remote the WAFW800 plugin from the startup.
