Please post any requests for how-to guides here - is there something you'd like a detailed walk-through of to demonstrate its use?

A couple how-to guide ideas from a power user but home automation novice:
- How to enable SSL in the Web server used by CastleOS. Maybe include a brief "how to generate your own SSL cert" for folks that don't want to pay for one, and provide a list of free and paid SSL certificate providers (or links to such information from a third-party web site) too.
- From someone who couldn't immediately see how to update the software, maybe a quick blurb somewhere that says "to update, just download and install the latest installer EXE" (or something like that).
- You have a large list of supported endpoint devices (switches, thermostats, etc.), but no list of supported (or tested) PC interfaces (e.g. Aeotec Z-Stick for Z-Wave, PowerLinc Modems for Insteon, etc). There's a lot of that info in the forums, but a single list would be helpful.

Regards,
Chris

Hey Tim, wanted to let you know based in part on your feedback we published a video to YouTube to explain how to set up INSTEON and link the devices, with a special highlight on the two way linking that is needed as you discovered. Thank you for your feedback!
