Do you need to be a "techie" to operate this controller. Trying to decide between this and the Nexia. Would prefer easiest... I've seen lots of talk about developing "scenes". Is this easy to do? I'd really like to be able to set a scene that says if...

It is very easy to operate this device through the web site. The site is intuitive. About the only techie operation is the matching it to each device. But if you follow the instructions it is not difficult at all. Good luck.

I have only used this with the Nexia system but yes, you can set a schedule for it just to work during certain hours in vacation mode and have it text or send an email to you if it senses motion. I have mine sensing at night and when it sees anything it turns in the lights in that area and activates the cameras.

The controller works with pretty much any emu you use. i had a little trouble getting kega fusion to recognize it, but after switching the controller to direct input and restarting the emulator, it finally worked p.s., if you haven't bought the controller yet, don't. it's plagued with latency and connection issues. don't be convinced by all the 5 star reviews on this site. do some forum research on google and you'll know what im talking about. as long as you're directly in front of the reciever, no more than 6 feet away, with absolutely no objects in the line of sight between controller and receiver, you'll be fine.

I own one. I ended up buying/adding the Obey 10. If you are using an RGB light, each channel will run one color as a fader with the 3. If you plan on expanding at all, or want to control other functions, or get RGBA lights (4channels), you will need and want more channels. I ended up just using my obey3 as a controller for one seperate single spot. Once you start to understand some basic programming, you will want to be able to see the numeric displays to know exactly which assigned slot you are in for fade speeds and some of the auto chases, sound sensitivity, etc. I moved up to the Obey10 also.

NO you don't need Nexia... I am using with Smartthings Hub with excellent results...

it does not. if you don't use Live, buy a different controller. If you DO use Live, this is the one to own. Very hackable too btw. I love this thing and would absolutely recommend.

i dont think you will need your controller. It comes with a sptectrum DX6i remote already for the program. Try using your remote and see if it works.

I have several of these installed and turn them on and off at the same time, its more about the controller you are using and not the HA01C. Most controllers will allow a "Scene" that is a collection of Devices (ie. Outlets or Switches)

Which "Bumblebee" are you referring to? Regardless, this controller is WAY outdated and not recommended at all. I only bought it because I didn't know any better and immediately replaced it. If you're just starting out, you want a KK2 from Hobbyking.

Manufacturer does not seem all that interested in supporting games, a mistake IMHO, as it's a great controller for a few existing and many more upcoming titles. Fortunately some dedicated users have provided a solution that will work with any game supporting a conventional joystick. Search for an open source utility called vJoy and install it in combination with another utility, Sx2vJoy. Configure via the latter and you're all set. Original drivers are not required. The device itself is very well made and well worth the hassle.

i am using it without nexia, (using smartthings hub) which i highly recommend, no monthly fees, lots of integrated products, apps.... nexia im not sure...

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

I'm pretty sure it was a private seller (Prestige Costume Controllers) that made them, not a large company. I had a very positive experience. I actually received a dud controller and he just sent me a second one for free and even told me how to fix the dud. 2 x controllers for about $80 that would have cost $300 at SCUF... For that price, I don't care about warranties.

Most of the times ( about 97%) I use it without a computer, most softwares like Traktor Pro or Virtual DJ need lots of time to map out the controller's layout. It's an excellent standalone controller.

what controller are we talking about. I have installed a lot of MM. Can you be more specific.

Nope. You can add them the the Vera of course, but they use limited memory and do not adhere to normal Scene formats so you cannot program it with the Vera. Honestly I'd say if you want a controller you can program from the Vera, get one of the more expensive Leviton ones. This just won't do it. To set up a "scene" with this you have to add each device to the scene manually, including the dimmer level. After that, it's very hit-or-miss on reliably calling it back up.
