FYI,

A French newsletter made me aware of the fact that Amazon.com now has a proper Home Automation section (hopefully coming to EU stores soon).

Above all: the “Controllers” how-to guide is marked as “sponsored by Micasaverde”, and highlights the Veras.

I have a love-hate relationship with my Vera. But for this move, I say: well done Micasaverde.
Anything that’s good for your business is also good for the future of my Vera :wink:

Interesting how they added in Mi Casa Verda in front of the Visa Cam models they have for sale on their how-to guide.

Also, if you click on the Gateways link at the left:

MCV’s Vera controllers are the first two that come up, then some other stuff.

Oops, looks like someone mis-categorized the replacement XBox 360 controller parts into Home Automation under modules. Doh!

Funny that item #3 is an Insteon FanLinc. ;D

It gets included there simply because it has “Controller” in the name, even those it just controls a device like any other switch. In fact, in the Insteon world, it actually can’t be a Controller, just a Responder!
