Believe me, it's not about being spiteful to DIYs. If my last post came off that way, that was not my intention. As a matter of fact, I (like a lot of other people) am a DIY myself in a lot of areas (home improvement, etc), and would probably be in this field as well, if I didn't work in it...

Actually, if you look again, I have answered every support question that has been asked on our HomeSeer board, the last one of which was in October. The only thread since then was not a support question, and it was already answered by another user before I got there (I get daily email alerts if...

1. We will no longer be selling the BC4X1 to non-dealers 2. If the unit were to fail within the one year warranty period, we would of course repair or replace it. 3. No 4. Firmware updates are posted on our downloads page. There is more to making a unit "Pro" than just the firmware. Existing...

jlegault, I totally understand your frustration about your situation, and I apologize for it. But if you look back at my previous response, you'll see that I specifically stated that I was not accusing you personally of "shady" intentions. Since everything you purchased came from HomeSeer, that...

While I wasn't party to whatever dialog you had with our team, I think I can shed a little light on the reason for the HomeSeer situation/ confusion. When we initially launched our product, we thought it would be a good fit for the DIY market. As time moved forward, we added additional features...

Version 1.2.3 has been released to the Updater. Lots of good stuff has been added, including additional scripting functionality. In addition to the standard HomeSeer event triggers, conditions, and actions, the BC4 plug-in now supports the following scripting functions: RS232...

I'd also like to point out that mControl has just released the beta of their BC4 driver. Available here.

A number of years ago I used one for a county Nature Center. I installed it and a pushbutton inside a rock speaker. they wanted it to tell about turtles when you pushed the button. As I recall, it sounded pretty decent. Good enough for turtle-talk, at least.

I played with a fog machine one year (not automated) and it seems like remember the thing having to run for a minute or two before fog would come out. Not sure if that was just that particular model (no idea what it was), but it might be worth taking into consideration.

Followup: The BC4 is now available from The HomeSeer Store. The HomeSeer BC4 plugin is now complete as well, and is available at a discounted rate for those who buy their BC4 from HomeSeer.

Dan, thanks for checking out the protocol. We've spent a lot of time and energy making it powerful and easy to use. Regarding xAP, it's something I'm keeping an eye on, though there are no definite plans for implementing it at this time.

Just as a heads-up, the Command Protocol documentation is now available from the support section our website. It should give a pretty decent idea of how a host system interacts with the BC4.

BSR: Thanks for your interest, and the welcome. The ADCs on the BCX-1 GPIOs are 10-bit, with a 0-12VDC range, so the range of digital values is 0-1023. Another One: While we don't have specific plans for any PDA apps at this time, our command protocol is extremely powerful, and the...

We believe that the BC4/BCX-1 combination offers some significant advantages over the GC-100-12. From an IR perspective, the BCX-1 module includes an extensive on-board IR database which allows control of a huge number of devices with very little effort from the user. It also has an IR learner...

I would think that a serial controlled powerstrip could be pretty usefull in a few situations. If the current monitoring works well, It could be a nice way to verify on/off status of a rack or cabinet full of AV gear. Depending on the price, it could be a good way to de-TOAD some equipment.
