Hi all, I posted this message in Another thread about a another problem that has arrived with HS3. Just thought I would repost it here for my thoughts.
just now started getting the same errors. been trying to get upgraded to HS3 pro for weeks now and I have had nothing but problems. And now this, all X10 stuff stopped working. at this point with all the problems I am thinking about just going back to HS2 where I had zero problems. This software and plugins cost way to much money to be having this much problems. I could see years back paying this money for this software, but now a days there are so many new devices and setups that require very little setup and work all the time. I still have not got HS3 to stay up for even one day. I have spent meany hours on fixing and recreating and reloading windows and HS. it is just not worth it any more with the google home and Alexa and the Siri can IFTT Most stuff can be done that really needs to be done and not just nice to have. I really think that I am going to just quit with HS3 and use HS2 for a while and then work on a system with just Apple Home Kit or the Alexa ,google home solution
I think that the Homeseer guys have made a huge mistake by redesigning HS3 and should have just built upgraded HS2 to include all the new stuff. I have been with Homeseer since the beginning but now it is just not cost effective and Should really look at reducing their pricing. If they don't I think they will eventually lose everyone for just the price of this software alone you can buy whole lot of home automation equipment and I'm talking about the new stuff. I don't have the time or the money had this much frustration just to get some motion sensors to turn on some lights. And the price of the plug-ins are outrageous now. My HS2 worked almost I'll hundred percent of the time it was very reliable. I know it's just not me, I see a lot of the same post on issues with HS3. I have never spent this much time to try to get this is all working. Once one problem is fixed it creates an another problem. I guess if you have the money and the time then it's fine. But in today's world there's too many options. My trial of HS3 is just about up. And if I do not have it running by then I will not upgrade. It's easy to say it's a hardware problem. But that's hard to believe when the HS2 works great on the same hardware. As I am typing this I just see where Home seer stop working again. I can't rely on it. It's a shame but that's the way it is so tired of working on this. I even tried it I am brand-new machine same issues. I guess I have a week Taylor trial runs out then it's back to HS2. Sorry to vent so much really come on now.
Yes after reading this again I see a lot of mistakes typing that just goes to show you how frustrated and tired I'm working on this. So please forgive the typos
