I hear you all loud and clear. This interfacing project has been fun and frustrating. Without simple tools like emulators, variable watch, and clear and concise documentation as to the output format, it is like programing while blindfolded!
The new UI I am working on is currently targeting the Vera but will easily adapt to any controller that uses TCPIP as an interface. If Vera proves to be be unreliable I will shift to a more stable controller. When reading MCV's list of what they are woking on, their priorities, hardware issues, and their efforts to support All new Zwave products.....I would say it is a rough road ahead. We will see.... and in the meantime I am still havin Fun!
