From reading about I get the feeling that X10
and
reliability aren't usually mentioned in the same sentence without some sort
of
negative accompanying them, but still....
I've noticed that a lot of people seem to use
HomeVision, presumably preferring it to a PC running 24/7. As someone
considering following the later route I'm wondering why this is. Is this a
reliability issue? Apparently the CM12 is prone to locking up sometimes -
does
anyone have any experience of this? Is it likely to do this in normal use.
I
suppose I might be able to tolerate 1 lock-up every few weeks or so but
after
that it would get pretty annoying.
I know a stand-alone controller like HV has a slight price
advantage,
even over a fairly lowly spec PC (if you're buying it new anyway) - but
personally I've been very impressed by what Homeseer can do with a bit of
VBScript inventiveness and I would have though this might make up for
it.
Sorry, this is another one of my patented incoherent e-mails so I'll
summarise (or try to ;-)): what prompts people to use something
like
HV/Comfort rather than a PC? Is it purely price?
Cheers,
Oliver.
