Being an iPad/iPhone user, I use Homebridge for a number of things. Although it runs completely independently from my main Vera home set up.
Is anyone else using Homebridge and if there is enough interest would a subcategory be of use ?

I know we talked about this a while back, but wondered if anyone has any ideas at all? It's still a 5-10 second pause between initiating a TTS event and getting the output.
This is using either a direct Luup call or the most excellent VeraTTS plug in.
I noticed that executing from reactor using the little 'run' icon, I'm getting an occasional '0 timeout undefined' error (even though the event eventually happens
Any thoughts, anyone?

Full disclosure.
I am from [HundredGraphs.com](link url). We are the data aggregation service for smart homes. So far we have plugins for Vera and SmartThings and we are looking to move in onto new hubs.
What would you be interested in?

Years after having installed and implemented the homekit integration to the vera through the verahomekitbridge which later became the homebridge:
rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridge rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridgeContribute to rafale77/VeraHomeKitBridge development by creating an account on GitHub.
(I just implemented a few updates I discovered were outdated for the garage door which were meant for older vera firmwares)
I just recently came to the realization that I can do a lot more with Hey Siri with devices I already own. I have therefore a renewed interest and have been configuring my homekit installation to match my alexa capability. Unfortunately a lot of things are still pretty far behind in terms of integration but... I found homebridge and all its plugins. I just wanted to share the alternative I pursued: Home Assistant. I implemented the Homekit component for it and have been able to bridge Sonos and Harmony while my openLuup devices are still bridged into homekit through the VeraHomekitBridge. If you already have home assistant, homebridge is potentially redundant...
The probability of taking down alexa and its cloud dependency completely is increasing... -
For those who are familiar with node-red, I found interesting news from the Home Assistant site that the openzwave project has gone stale and that they have shifted their focus on integrating zwave-js! It spiked my interest in spite of currently not seeing any need since z-way has been rock solid in combination with openluup but it might be of interest for others that there is yet another open source z-wave platform, this time written in javascript and running on a nodejs server... yes the same platform @toggledbits has chosen for "super reactor". I am already running a number of smaller nodejs application in my setup so it isn't quite new and yes there is also mqtt and node red bindings coming with it.

Morning folks
Not sure if I'm imagining it, but I used to have a 'Save' button on the activities tab of Reactor? Right now if I add or edit any activity, I have to go to another tab, and confirm the 'Unsaved Changes' dialogue.
TIA

this is interesting, because it seems to be based on a WebSocket protocol, so no polling and real-time. I'm wondering if Zway Server will gain this ability soon, because it will make sync very fast. Faster than HTTP polling and faster than MQTT.

It's funny you asked this because the latest z-way-server 3.1.2 actually has a libwebsocket dependency which is new. I just don't know what it is used for yet.

oh, we should ping @PoltoS in order to understand if that's available to devs as well, or it's intended as a generic feature to consume websockets. websockets are a game changer.
