Guess whether I rip out this expensive infrastructure or HomeSeer HS2/HS3 if the update to HS2 we have been waiting for for _*years*_ doesn't support my lighting, thermostats and security system?

It's funny, if you look back through posts here and elsewhere, it's almost always to go hardwired than wireless. So I invest in a hardwired, homerunned electrical system, and now it looks like all that will be supported is the wireless solutions like Z-Wave.

Setting up Events Sucks
I just sat down and thought I would work on my HS3 some more. I had recreated all my devices. I want to change the pictures yet, but thought I would try some of the events. This is where it really suck, when you are creating an event, you must know all the unit codes you need to turn on or off. Where as before it had pull down menus that gave you a list of all your devices. Why was that removed. That made creating a event so much easier then have to make a list of all your house codes and device number. Am I the only one that thinks this is a pain? A lot of other features I love, like being able to put your own graphic in. We was all excited about seeing HS3, but so far I don't know why. I know they worked hard on it, and cant please every one, but I know this is the first problem I have found that I do not like. Could this be changed or is this the way it will be. It really makes creating an event a real trick.danielbo

Show us a picture of what you are trying to do, something is not right.

Originally posted by BrettS View PostIt sounds like you're selecting "X10: Send X10 Command" as your event action. Instead, select "Control a Device". Then you can select the device you want from a drop down list.
Actually, I just did one and worked out pretty cool, because if you used the device, then it eliminated from the list so you know you have turned on all that you want or off. Is the $99.00 deal still on, I believe I am going for it. Two thumbs up guys.Last edited by danielbo; July 1, 2013, 09:34 PM.danielbo

Price
Is the upgrade still on sale? I thought it went off, then I thought it was running again. If not will it be on sale again for the upgrade for HS2 pro to HS3 pro for $99.00. Hope so, really finding out a lot of neat stuff I like, cant wait till more of the plug ins are upgraded too. Then HSphone, I know nothing different is going to be add to it, but as soon as its added, I can go live with just HS3 running.danielbo

The "Send X10 Command" action is more for special situations... if you have a need to send a specific X10 command for some reason you can use that action, but for your day to day use you probably won't use it at all.

Update
I am unsure if I am doing something wrong, maybe find some help. The program HS3 is updating the program itself. But I am getting errors when trying to upgrade the plug ins, Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help, I am getting a failure message, not matter what plug in I try to upgrade. Also to throw this in, to upgrade, is it still $99.00 for us that is switching from hs2 to hs3?
Thanks again,danielbo

Errors getting doing update, Nothing I pick is updating.
Originally posted by Rupp View PostWhat error are you receiving?
this was for a upgrade on X10 CM11A/TI103.
Install/Update of package HSTouch failed.
This was for update of HStouch
This is just two of them, there was about three more that got the same massage as the one above. Now the HS3 is updating
to the new versions.
Also still wondering if the new program is $99.00? Would like to get it, but might be two more weeks.
Thanks for any help,
