Hi all!
Beta Update:
Thanks for the offers. I will be contacting you all via PM when I am ready to release the Beta. I had plans to get it done this weekend, but my wife was at the ER Friday night and that just set the tone for the weekend (Yes, she is fine now!). I am trying to find time at night, but now I've caught the sickness that all my kids have had... LOL. I am hoping to get something out this week.
Harmony Hub Extender update:
I got my extender in on Sunday. I tried adding one of my BrightSwitches (Which HS wont' include). The Switch seems to think it included, but no sign of it on the Harmony for some reason. They seem to have a limited set of devices they know to work, so I'm not sure how well this will work out. I'm still going to try though. I've considered ordering a device that is known to work. I also tried one of my Cree Connected bulbs, but it didn't work. I don't know if that is because it's an older Cree Connected bulb or if my hub just isn't working (it was a refurb).
I wanted to try zigbee and I thought zigbee was cheeper, but looking at the devices that are supported by the hub extender, they are priced about the same as the z-wave versions. Some of the NYCE stuff is really small though (their motion sensors are TINY!!!). I need to find a zigbee device and a z-wave device that work though so I can at least make sure the hub extender works at all.
Just wanted to update on this. Once I get a device added i'll be able to see what I can and cannot control directly (hopefully a good amount...fingers crossed).
