  1. The problem with monitoring solar generation is that we know alot about what power is being generated but we don't get a full picture of the usage in the home. What is more useful is the incoming mains as we get a good picture of what is coming in and what is going out. Our eGauge driver for example can monitor multiple circuits and be programmed to react to import / export of these circuits. Great if you want whole home energy monitoring / management. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/egauge-eg3000
  2. Sorry the driver we developed for the camera requires that you replace the existing firmware with a custom firmware. We can only do as much as the custom firmware does.
  3. Doesn't make sense. WAN is just a 4sight connection (which is VPN to your home). The only thing i can think of is that there is a 'publically accessible' tickbox that you can tick / untick for cameras that you may not have setup correctly.
  4. Check the section labelled 'Monitoring and Managing Power with HS110' in the PDF installation guide. PDF Installation Guide
  5. Glad you're enjoying our driver. Sensibo is a great and affordable HVAC controller. Love it!
  6. You use the HS220 driver for dimming with the HS220 product. Most HVAC Systems talk internally via Celcius. As such we send the values in Celcius but round it up to the nearest whole degree. With Fahrenheit this may jump up in steps of 2 degrees.
  7. Same goes for us here down under. Having said that i totally forgot that you guys get this baby. Neos SmartCam (£19.99) Product Link - https://shop.neos.co.uk/products/neos-smartcam Driver Link - http://www.chowmainsoft.com/xiaomi-wyze
  8. $50.00 for the site licence. MSRP pricing can be viewed at any time from driverCentral.
  9. Hi guys, As we develop more and more drivers for IoT devices it has become apparant that you can now integrate alot of sub systems using off the shelf budget concious parts. I thought i would throw this thread up for those who want the bells and whistles without the cost associated. Note product pricing is at the time of writing this. This is only a small selection of the drivers we develop. Marking my favorites with Alan's Pick. Feel free to add to the thread (doesn't have to be our drivers).

  11. This is what Control4 calls Red, Green, yellow and Blue buttons internally.
  12. We actually created the following icons for this reason. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/experience-button-suite
  13. Or you get a HS300 and do your washer, dryer and 4 other devices in your laundry (maybe put your iron on a timer so that if it detects energy for over x minutes it auto turns off the outlet?).
  14. The usb is always on and non controlalble.
  15. We have quite a few products that suit made by several manufacturers Belkin Wemo D-Link Smart Plug Orvibo Wiwo s20 TP-Link Kasa My current favourite though is the TP-Link KP200 as its in-wall rather than a plug. https://www.kasasmart.com/us/products/smart-plugs/kasa-smart-wifi-power-outlet-kp200
  16. If you want energy you can get the TP-Link HS110 or the TP-Link HS300
  17. The HS103 is also the HS105 driver. You'll see it in composer as the HS103 / HS105 driver. The only differences in the product is the amps they are rated to.
  18. included with the TP-Link driver zip. Will be adding it to the other driver zips when i update the documentation to reflect.
  19. UPDATE Added support for the following products HS103 Outlet - 2 Pack MSRP $34.99 HS105 Outlet - Single Pack MSRP $22.99 2 Pack MSRP $39.99 Both of these outlets are extremely affordable with the differences being the HS103 comes in 12amp where the HS105s come in 15amp ratings. Also created a replacement outlet light driver which is compatible with all drivers that can bind to the old Control4 outlet light driver which includes the Control4 Outlet Switch v1, Orvibo Wiwo, Belkin Wemo, TP-Link Smart Suite and more. Supports Advanced Lighting Scenes, button bindings with color feedback, LightV2 proxy and more.
  20. Travis Industries sent us a development kit so its totally different from a real fireplace. It was all setup for us so can't comment on how to physically set it up. You are best off reaching out to them for assistance. I do know one thing. They got the RS232 gender incorrect when they first sent it to us but fixed it in a new board revision that they sent later.
  21. Driver wasn't really designed to be used that way so don't know if its possible. Since you are interacting with multiple proxies you'll be sending multiple RGB commands which won't really produce what you're setting out to achieve.
  22. UPDATE Sky Channels driver updated to support OS3.0 favoriting with revamped user experience.
