RE: HomeSeer and HSTouch

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just started to mess around with it (already owned HS though, so
the $150 for HSTouch was a "bargain").

I'm no programmer, and all I've had time to do is dink around with it, but
it seems pretty good, and simple.  The time is taken more in getting it
looking pretty, as opposed to the technical functionality.  The important
thing for me was control via an iPhone app, which it has, although the app
could be a little slicker.

I'm also no fan of HS since it went to v2, but I have a lot of crap that
works with it, so I need to persevere.

Hi All

Are there any HS and HSTouch users out there? I have just taken
delivery of my Mimo Pivot Touch monitor and am now looking for some
software to run on it (always an after thought of mine I'm afraid).
HomeSeer in combination with HSTouch looks to be pretty much what I need
but at over $400 is way over what I'd be looking to spend - in true UKHA
fasion :-)

My current requirements are pretty light in terms of integration with
Squeezebox, 1-wire, X10 and weather forecasts being about it. The
question is do people with HSTouch find it meets 100% of what they want
and justified the expense? Is there anything else I should be looking
at or have people rolled their own solutions?

Advice apprecaited.

Thanks

Brian
