RE: Does anyone use Homeseer hooked into Comfort ?



Indeed, my personal experience with the Homeseer/Comfort combination
is
largely positive. I've had the occasional instance of the plugin crashing,
but at least now that both HS, and all recent plugins are .NET based and
run
in their own processes, crashing plugins have never (yet, - touch wood)
caused problems with the rest of Homeseer, or indeed any other plugins.

I'd say give it a go, and see how it works for you. I'm aware of Gareth
having many more reliability issues than I have, but I also get the
impression that Gareth pushes his installation a lot harder than I do. I
also find that a scheduled automatic reboot works wonders for aiding
reliability.

1.Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes

Phil Colleys' plugin is on the homeseer store, but support is very
haphazard, bordering on the non-existant. Also, the current plugin for me
is flakey as hell, but Ok for others (Paul G)

I use it primarily for logging, and getting Sonos status' into Comfort to
take action - ie Comfort switches on the amp and selects the input for the
lounge ZP90 automatically.




Hi all

I have currently got a Comfort system setup, which I have installed
myself, and am very pleased with.

Although I've now got Comfort controlling a few lights in the house with
X10 micromodules, I'm still a relative newcomer to HA and more questions
and ideas still keep creeping into my head.

I see a lot of people use Homeseer.
Some questions (apologies if they're a bit basic!):
1) Can Homeseer integrate with Comfort ?
If so:
2) Can Homeseer read and log Comfort inputs ?
3) Could I use Homeseer to read data from Comfort and make that accessible
to me via the web ?

I'm not quite sure whether Homeseer is an "alternative" to most
of
Comfort's functions and therefore not of much added benefit to me, or
whether it would give me any worthwhile extra features.

Any thoughts would be appreciated !

Cheers
Lee
