I hadn't hearf of Banana Pi before.  Looks like an interesting fork off the RasPi.

I hadn't heard of the Banana Pi either, looks good.

Gene, how does it perform compared to the Raspberry? Is there a noticeable difference in speed when adding/editing automation scripts?

Edit: Nevermind, I ordered one yesterday, can't wait to try it out.

For anyone thinking of getting a RaspberryPi for HomeGenie, you should consider paying a few more dollars for a BananaPi.

Even though HomeGenie runs fine on the RaspberryPi, it is noticeably faster on the Banana.

Gene have you considered setting up a small webshop? You could sell stuff like pre-installed SD cards, Eden or Jeannie kits, that kind of stuff.

I heard about it but didn't dare to buy one cause I read about compatability problems with soft and hardware.

Since I can't run OSMC/xbmc on it I won't buy one either.
No need to seperate HG and mediacenter now, both run fine on 1 Raspberry.
