At least they let you return it. I have been asking since a week after I received it to be allowed to return this product and they have refused point-blank.
-
Mine is still for sale. With moisture sensor. Email to twine4sale at hotmail dot com. Where are all the folks whose networks are compatible with Twines and who want more?
-
No.
-
You keep saying that, but for now at least it does not work properly with what seems to me like a fairly standard network with an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express. Would you like to come over with some additional routers, and an electrician f…

Maybe if more people complain about the networking issues they will decide to prioritize them. Have you gone to help.supermechanical.com?
-
Apple devices is all I have. I don't want to have to set up a whole subnet just for this one device. And I still think it should be considered defective until they fix this issue.
-
(Answering my own question from earlier -- hovering over the battery monitor will show the voltage).
-
It just doesn't. Last I heard from Christina, they are aware of the problem but don't know when they'll start working on it because they want to work on other things first. Continues very frustrating. I hoped that now that they've got vibration wo…

Can we still see the battery power in volts? I found it helpful.
-
There was an update on Jan 18th (see topic titled Update 1/18/13). For those whose only issues are the battery life and vibration, it looked like good news.
-
That seems to be working for me. I've had it plugged in using a charger for many days with no loss of voltage; then we had a 30-minute power outage and the voltage went down a couple of hundredths. Power came back and it stopped going down. So th…
-
And indeed, that is the issue. When I substiute 107.21.16.90 (the IP of twine.supermechanical.com) for my own home URL, I can see the log file of my most recent attempts to get it to work (I assume it's mine since it has the same info that my Twine…
-
Hmm. Doesn't seem to be working for me yet. The URL is: http://twinelog.yoyo-pete.com?t=[temperature],[orientation],[wet/dry] and I did just get an email trigger that is supposed to be the same rule as this, but it didn't get logged. I…
-
Thank you!! I will give it a try.
-
Please give us a timeline on fixing the networking issues and on rule firing issues (for which the best debugging mechanism would seem to be some sort of a log keeper that gives us the complete state of the twine along with which rules you think hav…
-
On top of all the networking problems I am having, I am finding that the Twine doesn't fire rules when it is supposed to, and fires spurious ones. Today I moved the twine, and instead of firing on the orientation change it fired the rule that says …
-
I've got one for sale too. With moisture sensor. Email to twine4sale at hotmail dot com
-
For those of you for whom it's actually working, that's great. For the rest of us, it is beyond frustrating to have paid for, and spent hours trying to debug, a device with flaws that they are aware of and might fix someday but who knows when, or e…
-
I agree. I too am feeling very frustrated, and most of those frustrations could be handled with regular communications that indicate which problems they have put on their priority list, in what order they are working on them, and how long they expe…
-
Today on the help board they told me they've said they're a couple of weeks away from a vibration sensor, "and increases in battery life will follow."
-
At some point you could run out of IP addresses, depending on how your network is set up. You might have to get an additional router with a separate address space just to handle that.
-
They seem to have removed "vibration" from their homepage. I wonder if that means they can't get it to work. Regular updates from the company to let us know what is going on with their research would be much appreciated. Since we're clearly still…
-
By the way, I was able to get it to stay alive a lot longer by hooking it up to AC power. It still often has hours or even half-days when it doesn't connect at all, but it also often has whole days when it connects every 45 seconds to 3 minutes (at…
-
I haven't got one to try that with, but that was one thing Twine Support suggested. If you've got one, by all means give it a try.
-
It is supposed to be every 45 seconds. However, I'm getting the same behavior you are. I've been told that it's because I have an airport and airport express network and they are still working on finding a solution. They've been working on it for a…
-
Where does it say that my Twine is on external power? All I see is that the voltage hasn't changed, but it doesn't explicitly say AC power.
-
Great solution, but requires LOTS of rules if you want to monitor temperature across a househould range (my basement could fluctuate from 50 degrees to 75 degrees across the day, so I would need about 50 separate rules to keep track of all this).
-
I'm figuring it needs to be plugged into AC permanently to be of any real use. The batteries are just for backup if I lose AC power. Although I lose AC power on more than just the circuit the Twine is no, then I won't have Internet access anyhow s…
-
They have been clear in early responses to posts here that the rules trigger only on threshold events. So if you have a "fire if temp rises above 50" rule, it will fire ONLY if the temperature goes from 50 to 51. If it then goes from 51 to 52 and …
-
I'm thinking (assuming they ever fix the networking issue) of attaching the sensor vertically to my basement wall with the tips of the sensor touching the floor. Or getting some Sugru and coating the sensor with it except for the tips of the sensor…
