Why HomeSeer?
"At first I chose Homeseer for the quality of support by the Homeseer team, even during trial period. Then it was because the energetic support from the forum. Now,I would choose Homeseer because I think it is a stable system, that I can trust to run the house for me."

Favorite HomeSeer Feature:
"The stability of the software, and the possibility to extend functionality by scripts and plug ins to your own needs. I have fun creating my own plug ins. Homeseer gives me that freedom."

HomeSeer Implementation I'm Most Proud of:
"The combination of my own made plug in and events to make it possible to bring me to sleep and wake me up. I really had fun creating it and now it is the most important WAF improvement for me. If it does not work I get all the time to fix it ;-) Till sleeping time that is..."

  
   
 
Additional Technology:
PC Info:
 AMD Athlon 4800+; 2 Gb
Lighting:
 "Mostly X10 on/Off and Dimming, adding KlikOnKlikOff lately"
HVAC:
 "X10 controlled 12V switch in combination with RFCom Thermometer and Jowi Thermostat, a plug in, that 'learns' in time from the speed the room heats. If you want the room to have a certain temperature at 7, it will switch the heater in time to have the right temperature at 7 indeed."
Security:
 "Still on wish list ;-)"
Audio:
 "Only double sound card in main computer and Media Player plug in. Controlled By JowiAlarm, which sets Alarms based on Outlook Calendar working schedule"
Other:
 "The weather plug in, that reads the weather expectations to me (based on reading icons), The alarm plug in that brings me to sleep, while lowering volume slowly for a real sleeping effect and waking me up again, based on the calendar in Outlook. No appointment, no alarms set ;-) A caller id plug in that gets the caller id and searches for names on the internet. When available on the internet, it speaks the name, even before the phone rings.."
Comments:
 "For me, I started with home automation in 2005. the wish for home automation has been around for a long time, I felt insecure I I could do it. Homeseer gave me the opportunity to have a affordable start with home automation. And now visitors are surprised what it really does. For me, Homeseer is there to stay!"
