Home Automation should be called Home Manualisation :-(.
For every 10min you save through the Automation part, you have to invest 1 hour to coax some part into working again....
Today the controlling unit informed me, that 3 of my actuators require a firmware update. 2/3 updated without problem, the third one fell into some kind of "safe mode" (bootloader) and it took quite some googling and experimenting to get it working again.
@weberc2 I do it mostly "because I can" too. But I am terribly ambitious and don't deal well with such setbacks ;-).
@Masek Yeah, very rarely do my hobby projects actually serve a useful function (if they complete at all); I've long since decided "because I can" is as good a reason as any to do a particular thing.
