I went to visit myeyesoniris.com and found that there is news regarding the Iris Guarge Door Controller.

MyEyesOnIrisGarageDoorController

The news is released from CEpro.com where they explain that it’s made from a company called Linear and it will work with your existing garage door opener and it runs on Z-Wave. They also mention that it will be sold for $99 and will be shipped on March 2014.

That’s great but I couldn’t just stop here, and had to find out more about this Linear (linearcorp.com) company.

Yes voice control will be coming to Iris soon!

My first tip from a reader Jeff who wrote to me and mentioned that support had told him it would be coming to the app soon.

I would have just relay this tip to everyone here but there wasn’t much proof until later I found that myeyesoniris had spotted a microphone on the google play store but it seems it’s not a active feature for the Android yet.

I got two of these to test and I’ve been trying to figure out how I’m going to use them. I like the idea of controlling and automating them but I still like to turn on and off my light switches manually too.  Continue reading →

Thanks to reader fmollenkopf who had found you can see the part number when they flipped over the Garage Door sensor on the youtube video. From there anybody can track it down to a company in Vancouver Canada called NYCE Control.

NYCE-Products

 

If you like to know more about the two devices that’s should be coming to Lowe’s Iris one day. Then you can check out the links because they provide a lot of specs regarding both products.

I purchased the Iris outdoor camera just to see how it will register to the Iris hub. I’m still not sure where I’ll be installing it from the outside because it looks like you need to drill a hole to the inside of your house to plug in for power.

So here’s what the box look like.

Recently I’ve been having a lot of browser timeout session issues and I’ve been going from one browser to another. Now each different browser would start having the following message once I log in to Lowe’s Iris portal.

Session Timeout

 

To resolve this issue for me I needed to clear out the Java temp files in windows Control panel.
