I am quite new here and to the home automation world in general, so first let me say hello to everybody!
As for HomeGenie, that is probably the nicest looking interface to a HA controller I ran into, so thank you very much Gene for your amazing project.

I have ordered the products on my signature below and they should arrive in a few days... can't wait!
Now, I saw on HG website that RFXCOM and LightwaveRF are on the features list, but I could not find it under the Interfaces menu (I am running the latest HomeGenie version).

I just wanted to make sure that HG can work with the mentioned transceiver and LightwaveRF products, and if it does, how can I enable it's interface?

Thank you.

Hi Gene,
Thank you for your quick reply, I will try that.

Another question, can HomeGenie be used with two Z-Sticks - One for EU frequency and one for US?

Connecting more than one Z-Wave Stick is not implemented (how would you use that?), but it could be possible by doing some little modification to the MIG ZWave interface driver.

Well then you will be able to integrate US frequency battery powered sensors or low voltage relays.
Some Z-wave products are for US market only, so this opens up a broad range of products that usually are out of our (EU) frequency.

I did an automation program to support Global Cache IP2IR and WF2IR. Might work with Global Cache itach flex too if it is using the same TCP API. I only have IP2IR for now, but I might get a WF2IR in the future.

It is working very solid up to now, I did some minor testing on the AV system and also the air conditioner. I am still working on it and will post the code soon, once I refine a sample virtual module using the Global Cache program.
