We are half way done. I am a bit careful to use an exclamation point — we have gotten some things to work, but we still have a long way to go.
UPDATES
- Currently multisensor is logging data locally on blue Surface Pro and Kinect is also collecting people counts locally on Surface Pro 2.
- Cannot install Z-wave Driver for Surface Pro 2
- Cannot install Kinect Driver for Asus laptop
- HP tablet has USB 3.0 port (for Kinect) and USB 2.0 ports (for Z-wave dongle) so unless there are issues with installing software for HomeOS, it should be good to go
