I have finished the wiring of my new house! My good mate Keith Doxey came to stay with me for the week and managed the whole project. Keith also created the documentation of the "key" to the installation... |

I've just built myself a new Pentium2 machine so my "old" Pentium 233MMX can now be dedicated to Home Automation. With 64mb of RAM this machine should be more than powerful enough to run HAL2000 when I receive a copy to test (hopefully before Christmas)... |

After upgrading my main PC's motherboard I at last had 2 serial ports free (the new board has a PS2 type mouse connector). This meant I could finally start to experiment with my Solwise Caller ID box. After some initial talks with Craig (of Custom Solutions Inc) he sent me the Caller ID version of the HomeVision software (this is a special version of the software needed for Caller ID for which there is a small charge)… |

The weekend of January 9th 1998 and Keith Doxey (aka Krazy Keith) flies into Northern Ireland to meet me for what might perhaps be the UK's first Home Automation users symposium!! His kind wife (Sharon) had bought him the plane ticket for Christmas and he was staying with us at "Hotel McCall". A serious "lads" weekend lay ahead... |

I have now added a page with illustrations of the HomeVision. These pictures have been pulled from the CSI site in the mean time. I hope to add my own pictures in the future... |

The HomeVision is now up and running! It is getting me up in the morning, controlling my AV system, reminding me when my favourite TV programs are on and sending the house to sleep at night. Here's a description of what I've come up with so far... |

I received my new (second) HomeVision yesterday. Craig has now received the old unit back and after running his diagnostics apparently "The power supply reset chip had failed". I really must commend Craig for his excellent support and for the speed with which he shipped the new unit to me. Thanks Craig... |

The HomeVision unit I received this week developed a fault after running for approximately 10 minutes. I phoned Craig at CSI and left a message on his answering machine. He phoned me back later that night and spent over half an hour on the phone to me from Florida (at his expense) trying to sort out the problem... |

After contacting Custom Solutions Inc in Florida I discovered they were just finalising a "UK beta" version of their HomeVision controller. It's a beta because it hasn't been tested here in the UK yet… |
