My house is not dependent of any automation but recently an issue has caused many lights to be left ON... hah...
I have not been around but am back. I thought 5 months late to the beta party would put me far behind but it seems not so.
so I will list what i have done, where i am at, my hardware, etc...
this is just for me and others....
my system is what i have used on hs3 and upgraded a few times.. these lenovo "tiny" machines are small.. they now have "nano" machines im going to have to look at but they are not cheap at this time. Ebay lease returns can yield you cheap ones... and they run off of 18w total used power!!!!!! so to me.. extremely powerful and yet the power of an atom cpu and very small

Annoyances / Issues:
Bugs:
HS-687 - Saving database: Value cannot be null. - I am receiving an error in my log but it has already been submitted under an older version
My Bugs
1. Non Issue now - HS-792 - Concord 4 plugin - only one item shows up for events
Cant choose any device within an event thus cant control lights or send emails
2. HS-791 - BLRF- X10 MS13A Works but no icon change
Can control X10 devices, but on/off doesnt occur. this is controlling HS item from the actual HS web page..
3. HSTDES-15 - hstouch not seeing devices where no room set
I understand that it is best to set floor and room. the only annoyance is if you have 3 sets of lights in the basement...
so google... will say ok turning basement basement middle lights on - can live with it... just pointed it out that if you leave room empty... in HS app on android (not hstouch)... you dont see the devices
4. Aeon Labs current meter - only showing 1 device out of the 2 that it should.
Provided JSON files for HST to look at
