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!

The new google nest.

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.

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.

Nest

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?

Just a wild guess, but have you tried replacing the spaces with %20 UPDATE: I tried using %20 and it did not work.

If you really want to get fancy you can add separate scene for each fan speed and adjust the single keypad button brightness for each fan speed.

I recommend staying away from the Insteon thermostats. Not one of Smarthome's better products. Poor adapters, RF signal, poor features, etc. Has nothing to do with the ISY controllers, which are excellent. Drop some coin on some Nest thermostats and don't look back, assuming they are compatible with your HVAC. No integration with the ISY since it's not a public API, but it's not really necessary given the features of the Nest. If you really want to control the Nest, the Cloud API has been reverse engineered.

I'm in the wait and see mode. Lets see if they survive past their initial round of funding. In my humble opinion HA is about making lives easier and convenience. A touch screen device located on a book shelf or permanently mounted on a wall means i need multiple units located throughout the home. Living room, theater, kitchen, one on every floor, etc. raises the entry cost barrier, complexity, and means I have to get up off the couch to use it. I prefer a mobile touch device which is always within reach and can be used in any room. As I have commented on other forums, the next 2 years we will see a lots of companies putting an ARM CPU in a pretty box with wifi and HA control. Most will charge a monthly recurring extortion fee for the privilege of controlling ones home, if not initially, eventually when they can't turn a profit or their investors force them to. So what will you be left with when 99% of these companies go bankrupt after they bleed their KS funds dry? A door stop and hopefully some devices you can reuse with some other HA controller. There are two basic criteria I use for any new piece of technology I introduce in my home. One, can it be controlled via my mobile device? Two, is their a recurring extortion fee?
