I am a retired Director of Broadcast Engineering, I managed engineering for 37 Television and Radio Stations. I am also a Ham Radio Operator and am very active with the local Ham Radio Club. In the club I maintain the clubs repeaters which are both Analog and Digital. The digital repeaters are DMR and Yaesu Fusion type repeaters. Around my home I am into home automation and currently am using Homegenie but activity in development of this system has seemed to come to a stand still and the software has become very unreliable and the author is nowhere to be found. I have come here to see if this system can work with Zwave devices and also ESP8266 devices. With the ESP8266 chip I can design and build several devices and use them throughout my home. With all devices that I design I plan to share with the community.
