  • Am working with X10 appliances/dimmers for a very long time (most with marmitek here in Europe), and finally came across misterhouse. As I am a great supporter of PLC (if there is not distortion with others), with the open (Perl) platform I have found what I've been looking for. Have no idea, how the Windows/Perl implementation runs, however, on Linux and latest and greatest Perl release I don't see many problems occurring .
  • Misterhouse with Insteon has proven reliable for years. Now with the addition of Tasmota http control, it is fantastic. Thanks so much for all the discussion and the code. No other home automation product is as versatile. It controls 25 lights inside and outside my home, my pool motors, interfaced with my DSC alarm system and now provides my tasmota touch light switches. It can send me a notification if my leak detectors are wet or low on batteries. It has allowed for code to recover my cable modem after it hangs. What other controller can do all that!
  • I want my day back! What a mess. Windows installation attempted. I find the instructions/documentation needs much work. A fragmented cluster of mixed Linux/Dos/Windows unidentified. Batch files dont work. Not clear how to add X-10. Documentation needs a lot of work. I find it an unnecessary and unprofessional waste of time.
  • MisterHouse is possibly the most feature rich Home Automation manager that exists. MisterHouse can interface with many different home automation protocols including X10, Insteon, XPL, XAP, and others. Moreover through the use of user code modules, a user can add support for any platform. MisterHouse is also a very mature platform, having been created nearly ten years ago. Of course, all of these features and maturity can have some drawbacks. MisterHouse can be slightly more difficult for a new user to learn. MisterHouse's interface is also somewhat dated. However, the user base for MisterHouse is very active and provides a significant level of support to new users.
