The only event that works reliably with my Hue lights is turning off/on when I play/pause videos on XBMC. Which is pretty neat.

Just popping by to say that I'm spending this lovely Tuesday morning performing another factory reset on my Vera 3 controller because disabling the built in WiFi/DHCP turned on a stateless firewall and now I can't do anything other than ping the blasted thing.

I decided to buy no less than 5 lenovo a7-40 android tablets to use as wall mounted smart home controllers, they were practically free at around $50 each It's harder than I thought to find a launcher that lets you automatically cycle through the home screens on a idle timer though. Looks like it's going to require root and a bunch of tasker scripting  At least the IP Camera Viewer, Netatmo and Openhab apps are all pretty great though!

I'd be very interested in a solution for wall tablets that didn't look like garb. You got pics of this setup?

I just found out I get 50% off the Play 3 through work (it's definitely a glitch) so it looks like I'm completing my setup for Sonos early. my only gripe with Sonos is I wish they had a cheaper soundbar for other rooms.

Yeah the Sonos is rad. It is fairly straightforward to hack on top of too. I've experimented a bit with having my Vera controller use the Sonos for audio feedback when it takes actions. Speaking of the Vera after my upgrade it promptly forgot about every Z-Wave device in the house. I'm waiting, probably in vain, for support to unfuck it for me. Just in case they don't I borrowed a ladder so I can actually get to every Z-Wave device to re-add them. If this poo poo keeps up I'm probably going to switch to OpenHAB. At least then I'll be able to submit patches when the system goes all clown shoes on me.

I just found out I get 50% off the Play 3 through work (it's definitely a glitch) so it looks like I'm completing my setup for Sonos early. %50 off sonos is fuckin nuts! any chance you can line up a similar deal for the subwoofer? $700 for that thing is just offensive. the sonos playbar is the one thing in the sonos lineup that i'm a little conflicted about. the lack of DD+ and DTS is starting to become more of a hassle for more people. my use case is entirely wrapped around plex, so fortunately i can have DTS transcoded for me at the server. for most normal users, this means just about every modern audio source is going to be 2 channel only, and sonos doesn't seem inclined to do anything about it. sonos is and always has been about whole-house audio and they kill it in that space. they probably aren't the best solution for surround sound, except maybe with the Connect as an input to an actual AVR.

I already put up the money for the play bar and subwoofer years ago anyway (I agree it's expensive). And yeah, even before surround sound I know the playbar isn't the best of best sound of high end audio, but I'm not too picky (I didn't even know about the 2 channel thing) so I'm more than happy, and it integrates really easily.

sonos needs to make a $300-400 scrub subwoofer, $700 for that thing is bad even by their own pricing standards
