    Myro:Home experience/active?

    I'm seeing minimal recent posts in the myrocontol.com forum for the Myro:Home iOS/Watch apps, however note that there has been an update to the app recently. I'm now considering this solution (to replace Haiku/Space) due its increased functionality especially in the support of HomeKit/NFC/etc.  ...

    From those who have made this transition recently, would you have any advice or warnings? Any unexpected loss/gain of functionality?

    Edge sensor for rolling driveway gate

    I'd like to add an edge sensor to our driveway gate, as I'm finding that the 6" high photo eye isn't always detecting obstructions. Seems like Miller Edge is a common solution, however I'd like to hear some firsthand experiences.

    Anyone using Indoor Positioning System (IPS), without tags, successfully?

    I'm finding a few commercial and open source initiatives, using wifi & mobile devices, however not much discussion on experiences. I'd like to avoid tags, and instead rely on phones connected to wifi, carried by household members. Anyone ventured down this path?

    Haiku iOS Workflow App and HaikuHelper?

    It appears that the HaikuHelper API requires Digest Authentication for http, however Workflow only supports Basic. Thus is it not possible to integrate the two, until/if Workflow (recently acquired by Apple) includes this functionality?   Seems like a great method to customize some advanced...

    Repurpose GDO? (Garage Door Opener)

    Any experience (good or bad) repurposing parts from a (14 year-old Genie or similar) garage door opener?  After the screw-drive shaft snapped, I've now replaced with a quieter belt-drive model.    Seems a shame to chuck the old components (sensors, remotes, keypad, board, motor) if any parts...

    Haiku Haiku/RadioRa "Operation Failed" error

    While using Haiku to dim lights via RadioRa (classic) switches, everything works fine however if dimmed all the way to 0% then an error box pops up:  "Operation Failed - Controller command failed!" Can I somehow use the Debug setting on the iPad app to help isolate what is causing this?  Or if...

    WebControl vs. Arduino

    Could anyone, who has experienced/researched these devices, summarize the pros & cons of each? Each clearly has strengths and limitations, however difficult to compare side-by-side, especially for those who have experience with neither yet.

    Digital signage recommendations?

    Any advice/experience for a 1-2 line readerboard solution (display unit and software) that can be read from 60-80' away in an outdoor environment? The text displayed would be only a limited number of characters, effective to direct vehicles (in numbered lanes) to assigned loading doors upon...

    Interface 1-wire sensors to panel (Omnipro)?

    I'm exploring options for adding multiple sensors (temperature/humidity) in heated zones, bathrooms & outside and looking for cost-effective alternatives to dedicated devices. Would WebControl and one-wire sensor be a starting point? I'd like to utilize the inputs into the Omnipro both for...

    Wiki and Classifieds showing, only when Signed In

    Discovered today, quite by accident, that two Forum sections (Wiki and Classifieds) do not display when viewing the Forums page if you are logged on as a Guest. Possibly by design (?), and/or noted elsewhere, but still worthy awareness for those who seldom officially sign in.

    RedEye Universal Remote for iPhone/Touch

    I'm seeing quite mixed reviews (from "awesome product" to "crashes, slow, etc."). The price appears very competitive to dedicated remotes, assuming that an Apple device is already available.
