Title: Message
Mally,
 
Without a doubt, if you've got the cash, buy Homevision. Although Homeseer is a great piece of software, the CM12 is most definitely the weak link. It's unreliable and low on features. It also depends on having a PC running 24x7 - a combination that also tends towards the unreliable. Homevision is a dedicated hardware solution. It's completely reliable, doesn't require a PC (though you can have one connected for more functionality). The IR and I/O capabilities are especially useful and it can be tucked away in the tiniest of spaces. And it doesn't make a noise.
 
I've not touched my CM12 or Homeseer since buying Homevision.

Phil - that OK?

Hello,
 
I've been a member of this group for a week or so, thus far I haven't seen an answer to my question which I'm sure must have been mentioned a hundred times.
 
I'm just starting out with HA, I'm a computer programmer/architect and have lots of ideas that I want to mess around with. The big question I have is, should I go for Homevision or something like a CM12U with, for example, homeseer/bespoke software ?
 
Any advice appreciated or if anyone can point me to a URL where this has previously been discussed that would be great.
 
Many thanks,
 
Mally.
