Re: LD11 preset question (with Homeseer)

["Andy Bovingdon" <bov@xxxxxxx>]

Are there any European HA groups we could join forces with? I'm stunned if the X10 lot

will not listen to market demand. What about one of the other companies involved in

this space? I'd pay a 10-20 percent premium for a pro option if it did the right things.

If they won't listen to us individually, we could always tell them our requirements by email

individually :-)

 

Gotta be worth a try...

Andy,

 

I so wish X10 would listen but….

 

I spoke to Mike Huggins about this ages ago and to Li recently and so far as I can gather, X10 want an order for, IIRC, 10,000 units before they will look at it!

 

If my maths is any good that’s at least £300,000 worth of modules and, knowing manufacturers, they would all have to be exactly the same. Even between 400 members 10,000 modules is a hell of a lot of modules each, an average of 25 modules a member! I’m certainly not needing 25 modules costing me *at least* £750 right at the moment thanks ;-)

 

K.

All this talk has me thinking - dangerous I know... Has anyone tried to apply pressure

on the manufacturers to provide the types of modules we want? As a group, could we

not help focus this market demand and communicate back to the people that matter?

 

If I could purchase units with things like status response, or lamp modules that had

LD11 type capabilities and status, I'd start to upgrade rooms - more sales. I'm sure

others would do the same.

 

Can we get someone from the manufacturer on this alias or at least to read a requirements

document signed by 400 people?

 

Bov!
