    Is there really an E?

    I got kicked from the chat room this morning.... All for suggesting that E may be virtual. Now when you think about it, is it all that unreasonable? Do you see E there at all hours of the day or night? Have you on occasion had an answer from the "E" that didn't quite make sense? I now submit...

    CFL's and X-10 Dimmers

    OK, I know that CFL's are not usually dimmable and I'm not concerned about that ATM. My question is... When you shut off an X-10 dimmer, the leakage current is making the CFL glow just a tiny bit. Will this be harmful to the bulb or its electronics? EDIT: Nevermind... the CFL cannot be...

    HS 2.1

    Anyone running HS 2.1 yet? It is a good bit faster that 2.0, and seems to run better overall. The 1 issue that I see so far is that e-mail is broken. It crashes the program.

    Does Homeseer 2 run without errors for you?

    Rick Tinker has stated that there are thousands of folks using HS2 without issues. I thought a poll would be a good thing to gauge this answer. I would post on the HS forum, but was afraid of being censored. Don't forget... viewing the results without voting results in a null vote! Thanks.

    The Egg that Homeseer Technologies laid.

    I think that I have given HST more of a chance than they deserve with HS2. I've got to vent... I've got to say I'm PISSED at Homeseer Technologies! Could support possibly get any worse? Could they possibly release a more buggy version? It is beyond belief that they would release a version as...

    I'm not much of a writer... but here are basic instructions on how to start streaming with Windows Media Encoder. Capture device: I have found through a lot of trial that the best picture quality and framerate can be achieved with the Hauppauge USB2 device. It will blow away any BT 848 or 878...

    Taking the HS2 Plunge

    OK.. Just to get a good reaction from BSR, I'm now starting the HS2 installation. I'm starting with an existing machine (one with no "issues") and am replacing the hard drive. That way I can revert back by simply unplugging. I've downloaded the exe installer. I'm installing a fresh copy of...

    Homeseer 2.0 Ready for Release?

    Homeseer Technologies has released HS 2.0. I know many of you are testing the beta, and there are many others waiting for a stable reliable release. I would like to know if you think HS 2.0 is stable and reliable..."ready for primetime"

    HS 2.0 compatibility list

    Anyone look at the LACK of compatibility with the current plug-ins. What a sad tale that is. I feel bad for anyone that may have actually PAID for a plug-in. No update for Powerlinc No update for HAI thermostats. (the 2 that I care about) Just think if HS 2 were released on time...oh wait, I...

    Homeseer Webserver open to hackers

    Jon00 has pointed out to HS that a vulnerability exists in their webserver, allowing total system access. http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=103307 Instead of announcing that fact, HS has instead chosen to keep it under the table until they can plug that hole. .... when all that is...

    Skype and Homeseer

    I just have to put my 2 cents in here....(cause it would just get deleted on HS) You gotta be crazy to put Skype and it's file sharing ways on your computer! Not to mention that it is a bloated white elephant. It is non standard, non compliant, and total hype. Even the companies employees are...
