HomeSeer is completely different and the interface doesn’t help the confusion with things seemingly in the wrong place logically.

But I found the learning curve a real challenge as I already had all this knowledge on how to get stuff done using HV. No other controller, even now (except perhaps Comfort) has that out of the box.Īfter due consideration I chose the Hometroller SE Pro, the sort of “light” version of the Hometroller. You’d think it’d be easy right? You’d be very, very wrong – You see HV has a whole bunch of ports that allowed you to connect all manner of external stuff, like the PIRs that I use for motion detection and in turn the operation of lighting. So, I started to look for something that had the power and reliability of HV but that was more modern, allowed me to use all my IR stuff, could use new things like iPads, phones and such like as well as talking to all the existing X10 modules and new Z-Wave (ZW) ones. But as is the way of all things technological, its day has sadly come to an end. In fact, it’s a testament to the genius of Craig at CSi3 that HV survived as long as it did. It can be done but, but not easily and you can’t get information and use it the way that you can from newer controllers as HV was never designed to cope with it.

And that’s where the problem began of seeking out a way to allow HomeVision to control Z-Wave devices. Then along came Z-Wave, Insteon and others offering all these new funky modules, sensors, thermostats and other things that were, well, very cool.
