   Welcome

Welcome to Darren's Garage Home Automation Portal.

This site is very much Work In Progress and will develop as time permits. Registered Users will be granted access to the download areas. I will also establish an area for Home Automation Developers to share ideas and code.

I intend to use this portal to bring together a number of HA initiatives I am currently investigating and their progress to date. This portal will also provide access to an online demo of the system I am building.

Currently, Darren's Garage premises are undergoing significant modernisation which will accommodate a number of these HA projects and aspirations. I will share my experiences here as best I can.

HomeSeer has very good latency with respect to responding to X10 commands received via CM12 and issuing an immediate command back out on the power again. Also, combined with the HomeSeer W80032RF plugin I now find X10 device response to a RF wall switch or motion detector far more acceptable.

The only decision I have to make going forward now is whether to develop HomeSeer plugins to plug my gaps or continue developing xAPplications . I prefer the latter as once stable, I can share these with the xAP community irrespective of  whether they are using HS or not.
