Upgrade HomeSeer to 2.0 ?

George Pontis · 2005-09-08T20:42:59+00:00

I have a current copy of HomeSeer and received the promotional offer to upgradeto 2.0 for $39. I am wondering if my current version of the HAI Omni Plug-in would continue to work with the new version. (I sent email to HomeSeer asking this question a week ago but no response yet.)And what is everyone's feeling about having to install the .NET framework to support this new version ?George

Yes that is probably true along with the fact that they don't seem to realize the difference between ALPHA and BETA testing or putting out a product WAY BEFORE IT IS READY. They just caused their own overload problems. Can't feel sorry when they caused most of their own problems by putting the product out way too soon.

Even with that, they HAVE TO SUPPORT CURRENT PRODUCT AND USERS. By not doing that, they are shooting themselves in the foot for credibility.

It is at the point that I am advertising on my website that they are not providing support for their product and users and that is why my site is down.

I used to get a fair amount of site visitors, 1000+ a month, and now all they get is the message that HS is ignoring their best advertisement by not fixing a long term outstanding security hole.

AS I understand it, v2.0 was many months late in coming out. They set up expectations for one date and then didn't deliver.

While there may be some problems with their A&B process, the biggest problems seem to be 1) intrinsic to supporting many devices 2) code coming in part from third parties, and 3 the underlying code and then switch to NET.

I've evaluated Homseer every couple of years since it became available and these problems have been there forever. The nature of the beast is that the problems grow exponentially even as software functionality seems to grow only arithmetically. It's almost always this way ...
