Log file for HA? Interface plugins?

Postby Jay on Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:05 pm

It appears that Calrad is aggressively persuing home automation. Wondering if there will be event log files? I.E.; motion sensor B4 or 'motion driveway' fired at 4 AM?

Will there be plugins for most popular interfaces? E.g., ACT TI103 for X-10, etc.

Will scripting (like VBS) be supported for more complex event triggering?

they've already got a widget for Insteon, I'd say that's the route they will take for other interfaces. Supposed to provide logic and event timers, etc as well from what I've seen here.

I believe the most widely used HA interfaces will be X-10 (lots of legacy hardware still in use) and Zwave (much wider industry/CE adoption the Insteon). Not that Insteon should not be supported but I feel Zwave and X-10 are far more important to the adoption/viability/longevity of XLobby.

ZWave will definately be added at some point soon, don't worry. To answer Jays question about the event logs, this will be in the final release of version 3 as well.
