hi i have been asked to answer the questions bellow could anyone help i have been using the hc2 but not really up on the hcl. if anyone can answer i would appreciate it regards simon.
1) I can't seem to find many reviews online about the lite. Amazon UK has a few reviews on the lite and they're not great and they are the only thing worrying me. What is your view on the lite, given the amazon comments?
2) When was HCL released and do you know if there is a newer version due to be released in the near future?
3) I note that the key difference between the HC2 and HCL is LUA programming. I'm not familiar with coding at all. Is LUA code something a beginner could handle easily without devoting much time?
4) I note that HCL cannot handle complex scenarios which HC could via LUA. Can I have a couple of example complex scenarios that HCL could not handle? I'd like to make sure the HCL can do the sorts of things I'd like it do to.
5) I already have nest smoke alarms and plan to install a 3rd generation nest thermostat (when released). You have confirmed that HCL works with Nest. Is it easy to link the two together?
6) I already own three D-link 932L IP cameras. I've read somewhere (I think) that hubs can be connected to D-link IP cameras. Do you know if the HCL can be connected to D-link 932L, if so is it easy to do it?
7) Does HCL have a facility where it can read my location via GPS and react accordingly? Is this done via phones?
10) I note HCL does not have voice activation. I have also read that devices like Echo (Amazon USA) can be used to control smart hubs via voice activation. If I decide I wanted voice activation later, are there products I could use to do this with the HCL?
11) Does that HCL have IFTTT?
