[Choise for domoticz:] I was runnning OSA Open Source Automation,I am Beta Tester for WINK HUB. Due to lack of support and no improvement on OSA, due the the fact WINK HUB is cloud base and cannot be controlled locally i was looking for another platform (OpenSource) independant of cloud and I am really impressed with Domoticz. Ease of installation and was up and running in less 3 hours.
[My role here?] follower for the moment. I need to learn about Domoticz and customize the Dashboard and floor plans, then my goal is to interface with the WINK Hub once i have running stand alone. Also interface with my Energy Monitor Brultec GEM that has 32 ports monitoring all my Breakers panels.
