Like many in the HA community, I have an interest in using LED based light bulbs, not just for power saving, but because they may well survive frequent cycling better than fluorescent or even incandescent technologies. This is fairly critical in an automated home, since in somewhere like a hall where the average family might leave a lamp almost permanently on, an automated home may be cycling the bulb many times a day.
I thought it was about time I paid some attention to my web server logs, since I haven't been checking for errors since the move to MT4.
Yes, it's power monitoring madness here at the factory. It all started with an Owl.

I automated my curtains quite some time ago, but over time I discovered a few issues that were not quite right. Some recent additions to Cortex have removed these problems.
I wanted to try out Blogo, just because, but couldn't get it to work due to an invalid login. There is no console window for debugging, unlike Ecto. Anyway, as usual the Movable Type help is no help. Many mentions of using the web services password. And this is true, you do have to use your web services password.
