Open Source Automation

Unfortunately Nest doesn't provide information on whether the system is currently running. With some programming I could probably guess at this based on the mode and the target temps and the ambient temp. But it would just be a guess and not 100% accurate. Good News! I got an email from Nest with t...

Welcome to OSA!

Which version of OSA are you trying to install?

Make sure .NET 4.0 or higher is installed. Try running Windows Update and make sure everything is up to date.

Looks like Vera works differently than OSA. Since the receiver is only one node on the Zwave network it should be only one OSA object not three like the Vera. But the OSA object should have methods for turning on/off both outputs. The receiver many not be properly recognized by OpenZwave. What does ...
