Howdy. Been a while. Glad to see the old-timers from a decade ago are still here. Had to create a new account; I guess that happens after so long.
I was a HS1 and HS2 user way back. Jumped ship for Cinemar's MainLobby. Believe it or not, that was initially just a Flash front-end for HomeSeer. Things change. But ML hasn't changed enough; so it's time to move on.
Still using Insteon with ISY and Elk M1G. Irrigation stuff has gone from ADI/Ocelot to Elk to Rain Machine. Thermostat is now ecobee (though may dump that). AV is old-school Rotel and Russound with Linux KODI for movies and RPIs with Squeeze and other stuff for music. Power management is Ubiquiti mFi - I see that's not supported here.
Replaced basic ML stuff with OpenRemote - server runs on RPi and client on Android. But it's way too under-supported and won't be moving forward quickly any time soon. So...
I see that HS3 now supports GUI / touch clients on Android and Windows.
I'll do an upgrade of the old HS2 to HS3 Pro and need a bunch of plugins.
ISY / Russound / Elk M1G / whatever else.
Biggest focus is usable touchscreen Android systems for Russound and Rotel AV stuff. Lighting and security after that. Irrigation, thermo and cameras last.
Any cautions I need to know?
Any advice for an old-timer coming back to the new stuff?
Any input for how to handle the stuff there isn't a plugin for yet (power management / cameras / etc)?
