IRC Channel
As another way to improve communication and accessibility between the developers and new users, we have opened up an IRC channel where users can ask questions and get support. You can find it at #vcrib on irc.freenode.net.
Welcome to vCrib
The Virtual Crib is free Home Automation software that runs on Windows and requires no programming to setup. It has a nice graphical interface and has unique features that high-end security and automation systems do not. vCrib supports many of the most popular home automation protocols and hardware including X10, Insteon, Z-Wave and more. It is highly configurable and easy implement new interfaces to interact with it. The possibilities are endless and best of all it is free!

vCrib v0.0.8.0 Released
VCrib version 0.0.8.0 has been released! There are a lot of changes in this version. Most notably, the migration of some of the apps to .NET. The Bluetooth and Z-Wave apps are now included in the install as well. All of these .NET apps are included in a zip file that gets installed in the vCrib install directory. Just extract it to that same directory and you should be good to go. As always please post on the forum with any bugs/issues you may come across. You can find the list of changes after the break…
