Hello Homeseer People -
** Its Vimeo, so they have to render still - They should be live by 10:40PM EST 1/12/2015 **
It seems some people were interested in my Kinect Setup, so I did three quick videos - after my surgery this week I will get some better videos with more features, but this is the start. I have 5 Kinect's in different rooms, they connect using the following :
(1) Garage, Connected using iView 7" Tablet
(1) Living Room - Connected to a central Mini PC in the basement using USB
(1) Family Room - Connected to the same PC as the Living room, with room for 4 more Kinect's if needed.
(1) Computer Room/Office - Connected iView 7" Tablet
(1) Bedroom - Connected using a Dell Venue 8
*** Sorry I had my Phone in Portrait - I should have used Landscape, but it works for now ***
The iView were on sale for $59 before Christmas at Newegg - So I took a chance, and I'm glad I did - They are awesome for this, and they use about 3 Watts of power with the screen on. They are NOT good for general use since they have a 1024x768 screen and scale to 1280x1024 (looks OK, but not for long usage)
The three videos are :

This is the Living Room example - Shows lights on/off, Weather forecast, Nest Controls, and Nest check. This is connected to the mini PC in the basement.

This is the iView Tablet in the Computer Room/Office. I talk about the tablet for a bit, and then a lights on/off, Philips Hue Control, and weather (which I passed a bad Variable so it didn't find the day... But you get the idea)

Kinect in the bedroom using a Dell Venue 8 - Same type of examples, mostly devices on/off.
The weather script is something I wrote last year for my robot, NAO by Aldebaran Robotics - so I converted it a bit from Python to VB for my home automation. You can ask for a weekday name, today, tonight, tomorrow, or ask for "Weather for the next x days". (Where x can be 1 up to 5 days). The examples where I say Hello and it says "I heard this from this room". Is my start of a generic script where I will put a ton of voice commands that could come from any room - Keep them central rather than a ton of events that have a bunch of OR/IF for each Kinect ... Gets messy.
** Oh, I have to add a video from my Light show this year - https://vimeo.com/114355945 **
Any questions, please let me know ....
