@lsufanintexas have you been able to get your stuff set up?

i just installed homeassistant on my pi. finding the learning curve a higher than homegenie. definitely would not recommend to someone unless they want to really learn and dive into coding. think they need a simpler interface for non-programmers.

Yeah I finally figured it out, at least the basics. Have my first "group" called living room. Agree with you. The learning curve is steeep with home assistant and their docs while numerous aren't really flushed out with great examples.

After thinking about it, I plan on writing my own home automation software using python-openzwave. For some reason if bugs me that I can't simply click a button to add a room, add my devices easily etc through a web GUI. None of the opensource automation suites have a great interface.
