We are not too far from our release of version 5.0 of CQC, and I just wanted to post a little video. This is really a first draft of the first of a set of probably four videos that will provide a broad overview of how you do various common tasks that any automation system is likely to need to do, using CQC. This one will be redone again almost certainly, and split out into a couple separate videos, but I figured I post it in order to give folks a flavor of the new version.

The impetus for the enormous changes in this version was comments on here and other fora where we'd asked for criticisms of the product. The biggest single complaint was the UI. Not the touch screen UI which is insanely powerful and has been for a long time, but the administrative slash configuration UI. It had been around for a very long time and had gotten pretty quirky and crusty. So, it has been completely re-written from the ground up. This was an enormous effort, but we think it's now something that very much works for the product instead of against it. A lot of the perceived complexity of the product in the past was really a product of the obscure nature of the configuration UI.

This is neither a training nor a marketing video really. It's primary purpose is to give folks who use other automation products a quick overview of how the things that they commonly do can be done in CQC, and how easy the new UI makes it. And partly to give existing or previous users of CQC a point of reference. There will be subsequent, more detailed videos for training and more high level for newbies type videos.

Skip to about 4:00 if you don't care about the installation process and just want to see the actual configuration and customization stuff.

Comments and criticisms are welcome. They may be accepted, they may be rejected, they may end up pushing us into therapy. But post them anyway.
