I use MLHD push notifications and geofencing. It's pretty awesome.

If you want to use the mobilinc connect service you have to buy / install the mobilinc module which I think is $1.00. You can open up the ISY admin console and help -> about to see the list of modules. If you installed it will be listed.

My router has a DYDNS client built in. Most routers do.

I use no-IP.com for DYDNS and DNS service. Can't complain. It's free unless you want to register your own domain name. Currently my domain is registered with register.com which I will convert to no-IP during my next renewal. I would have used register.com except they don't offer DYDNS service.

You do have to concede that cloud based thermostats do have the potential for greater good of humankind, since they can combine weather, occupancy, and preference information together to refine adaptive heating and cooling profiles to minimize energy usage. The nest is already tied into 1. Local weather thru you zip code and IP address. 2. Know about the type system installed in your home 3. Although they do not have information regarding the efficiency rating of your system, they can probably develop an index based on heat and cool times. I receive those nest reports every month claiming how much energy they have save customers, but in order to make those claims they must have made some rather crude assumptions regarding the type of TStat the nest was replacing. Personally I do not know anyone who doesn't have at least a one day programmable TStat installed in their home. What nest does not have is information regarding the construction of the home, but they might be able to make an educated guess based on geolocation when you connect to the nest when on the same wifi network, ie you are at home, coupled with public records on when your home was built. Regardless they can use the information to perhaps detect a change in the efficiency ( leak, clog ) of your system and recommend a few service companies to come take a look. Obviously it would not take into consideration if you have a manually controlled attic fan or someone left a window open, but it could simply provide an alert and let you make the decision. Or based on other homes in the same area, might recommend you have an energy audit done, typically done by your local utility for free. As much as despise the google acquisition of nest, there actually could be some benefits. That assumes this is what they have I mind.

Thought I would repeat this one here... Ok here's a far fetched conspiracy for you. The Protect smoke detector has a speaker and wifi. Any speaker can be turned into a microphone. Just ask Edison or Bell. So basically by installing Protect smoke detector(s) you are saving the NSA from having to perform a black bag job on your home, and Google supplies all the data. Nice!

Both use listview on iPhone. HD gives you the more graphical look on iPad, but no listview on iPad

It's still a beta product. Myself I'm still struggling with what function it servers or does better than an open platform which is not limited or restricted. IE a raspberry PI and Linux.

HD is a universal app. Pro is phone only.

Logitech does not have a public API for their products. It's the single most requested feature on the Logitech forums. You might find someone who has reverse engineered the protocol on github

Agreed. Mount the sensor on the door header to keep the elements away from it.

Newbie Question - What does Auto DR mean?
elvisimprsntr replied to Steve Vollstedt's topic in ISY994
No you cannot deleted it, along with "All Devices". There is an undocumented prefix that is filtered out when you access the non-admin web interface. Place a "~" at the beginning of the name. If you use mobile apps, eKeypad will also automatically filter the same prefix, and Mobilinc you can add the character to the filter setting in the app. I use the prefix to filter out controllers and some scenes to shorten the lists in the mentioned mobile apps. -
I have seen similar behavior which I isolated to my router firmware and setup. Have you changed anything in your LAN setup?

Contact UDI support for upgrade. They might transfer any purchased add on modules to the new unit. I went thru a 99 to 994 upgrade a year ago and it was a snap.

No public API yet, but Nest has formally announced that a public API is in the works.

The 6 button KPL only has 5 controls by design, since the larger buttons actually control a load. The 8 button KPL does't actually control a load.

I bought a gen 2 doorbot which I have yet to receive, but looking forward to tinkering with over the Xmas holiday On the fence regarding the lockitron.

Did you ever resolve this?
