Free Peanut plugs for our best users -- Contest is closed

[Ashok]

We would love to hear from Almond+ customers who have a lot of sensors and or network devices. Could you let us know how many sensors, network devices, scenes and rules you have?

We'll send out a free peanut plug to our top 5 users based on the number of sensors and network devices. Please share relevant screenshots and a picture of the LCD status app. We'll keep this open for a week.

[SecureComp]

Only 18 sensors and 13 network devices at the moment. 
34 Rules, 16 Scenes. 

But I'm working on it. 

Will have to check the other setups I've done for folks, they have more (20+20) but are not interested in "testing" stuff, they just want everything to work, and it does. 

Will forward some pics later.

@ SecureComp,

To my best knowledge, the number of sensors and network devices you got is still high and hopefully you would be one among those top 5 users. Please do send the screen shots and log files asap.

Unfortunately I'm still at just 10 sensors, 25 network devices, 2 scenes, and 14 rules.

In time......

I have 20 sensors if each bulb is counted separate, 8 scenes, 11 rules, and only 1-2 network devices.  I mainly bought and use it for the HA functions. I already had an AC router with everything hardwiring prior to the Almond+ .

Edit:
Link to Onedrive folder with screenshots. If it doesn't work let me know.

Helpful hint, how to take screenshots:
https://wiki.securifi.com/index.php/How_to_take_screenshots_of_the_TouchUI_-_Almond%2B_2014

Remember, you have to goto the Almond and actually activate the screen, goto the Status Screen (shows the device count), capture it using the

Code: [Select]

screenshot /www/img.bmp command and then retrieve it using

Code: [Select]

http://10.10.10.254/img.bmp substituting the IP of your Almond device appropriately.

To get a nice grab of your PC/MAC screen;
MAC OSX, Shift+Command+4
Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-snipping-tool-capture-screen-shots#1TC=windows-8

In this pic, not all my devices are awake yet.

Screenshots on Windows are much easier than the snipping tool. Select Alt and Printscr on your keyboard.  This takes a screenshot and puts it in the clipboard. Open paint, press Ctrl V (or other method to paste) and there you are. If you want everything, not just the selected window, leave off the Alt.

For those wanting a screenshot on most versions of Android phones, press your power and volume down buttons at the same time.

I have yet to get into the HA component of the Almond+... Have an Echo though...
Not sure which devices to start with and whose bulbs/plugs/etc to go with...

One of the good things about Z-Wave and ZigBee is that you GENERALLY are not stuck with a single brand/proprietary standard. Z-Wave items are generally pretty compatible, if they are supported by the controller.
ZigBee can get a BIT pickier because some companies have chosen to add more into it which breaks easy compatibility (such as the Iris ZigBee items). That being said, most ZigBee items work fine.

[rldreams]

I am up to 67 LAN devices as of today.
Well documented that I removed all Zigbee and Z-wave HA devices about 6 months ago because A+ could not handle the work load. I'm not sure how many of them will actually work with A+, but given a couple days I could probable put at least 30-40 , maybe 50 sensors onto A+.
If @SecureComp is high at 13, I must be off the charts. LOL

To my knowledge A+ does NOT have Echo integration ( unless I missed something I don't see it listed in Echo interface ). So your only choice would be to go with Hue Lights and Hue Hub which does have direct Echo integration and I believe can also be integrated into A+

I have 13 Sensors that are connected and one that won't connect. 
Normally I have about 10-25 devices connected.
Only have 3 scenes right now and I'll add about 6 rules for lights when I'm on vacation.
