Playing with the wall dimmer/switch, motion sensor and power outlets. Running the Ubiquity controller software - Mfi - on the same Mac mini as Indigo.
Here are some observations.
+ WiFi antenna on the switch is on the front plate and is able to connect to the my access point in the same room reliably. I am using CAT 5 to connect the motion sensor and outlets
+ Network stack is very strong. Great signal data as well as network discovery tools.
+ Integration with Indigo is super easy. Set up rules to post to Indigo virtual device or variable.
example:
posting an ON to a variable -
http://127.0.0.1:8176/variables/ubntSwi ... ut&value=1posting an OFF to a variable -
http://127.0.0.1:8176/variables/ubntSwi ... ut&value=0+ Get power,voltage,current data from the switch.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7530/ubiquiti-networks-mfi-mpower-wifi-power-strip-review/4 has an article about the power sensing chip.
+ If you have a location where there is no Zwave or Insteon signal but you do have WiFi this switch may come in handy.
+ Switch Performance is on par with Insteon Keypads controlling lights. I have the switch setup with no load connected and was using the tap as a scene controller to a bunch of insteon lights.
- Controller software still feels beta
- No published API to talk to the device but is possible using ssh/telnet. Each Mfi device is running BusyBox.
Great to see IP based equipment with good power data capability.
