Yes, I agree Homeseer is powerful, it\'s just a shame I\'ve so far failed to get to work on Vista (despite many hours of trying). I tried on XP and it at least installed but then I couldn\'t get the Comfort plug-in to work (the config tab didn\'t work in trial mode).
I don\'t want to spend $199 for HS2 plus incidental (ie plugin) costs when the software won\'t even allow me to try-before-buy. Perhaps it\'s just v2.2 and a later version will be better but so far I \"aint impressed\"!.
I contacted homeseer support and the Analysts\' comment:[size=2]
Didn\'t inspire me with confidence. I tried the things he suggested ie turning of UAC, firewall, virus checking (basically expose myself to the world!!!) but didn\'t help and having spent many hours on this I can spend this sort of money better elsewhere.

Julian
