I know this has been brought up before, even by me, however time has gone on and I think most of us using UPB have been pretty patient. That time is coming to an end though.
It's been several months now since I and others have asked this question but is there an ETA for the HomeSeer UPB plug-in?
I bought HS3 last June, expecting to be able to transition to it during the winter months, at that time it was a beta so I waited, no problem. Sometime during this time it's gone from beta to release and still no UPB plug-in from HomeSeer.
To me this is completely unacceptable, the lighting core, no matter what it is, is the heart and starting point of any automation system, without it the software is just a play toy that does nothing. No one would buy a Home Automation software package that did not support their chosen lighting protocol, that is except us hapless UPBers that never thought that HomeSeer would leave us swinging in the wind here. HomeSeer would never have released HS3 without Zwave being ready to go, are we UPB users some kind of step children who just get ignored here?
I don't think it's too much to ask that some kind of reasonable ETA be put out so I and others know how much longer we may have to wait before the HS3 that we bought is usable. I know Spud has written a 3rd party UPB plug-in and I'm sure it's very nice, however I am at this point waiting on what I already have, unless it's HomeSeer' hope that we will all just buy that and forget about the HomeSeer UPB plug-in. I know that's a bit of a cynical take on things but it's been a very long time and frustration has set in leaving me at this point.
