I often get asked whether we 'dumb' down Dianemo or restrict what users can do with their systems. Of course the answer is no on both counts!
Our focus for the last several years has certainly been to make Dianemo as simple as possible to setup, configure and get working. In parallel with that effort we've also tried to make the whole Dianemo system more reliable and robust too. But neither of those objectives are in any way about 'dumbing' down or restricting what users can do with their systems at all. We don't stop you or get in your way if you want to do deep customisation of your Dianemo system - all the customisability is there for you.
What we have focused on is making sure that you can get to a working system as easily as possible 'right out of the box' so to speak. We've realised that in many situations there are other people - family members, boyfriends/girlfriends/partners who possibly aren't as 'sold' on Home Automation as you, and their sensitivities & concerns need to be addressed to. Making sure the system you install works without much fuss, and also importantly doesn't look like a jumble of cables in the corner of the room is important!
If you don't need to take other people into consideration before installing your system then making sure it simple to get your system initially installed (with direct support from our support team if needed) is still an important factor in considering what system your install. Of course ongoing support is also important and we provide that for free via the Forums here and if you need more personalised or hands on support then we're also provide a paid for remote assistance service too that you can always call on if you need some deeper help for example.
So whether your system is something you just want to setup & configure right away and just use, or whether its something you want to continue to customize and develop, Dianemo offers a great platform for you to do that on.
All the best
Andy
