And that is one of the reasons, why iRidium is a good choice for MyHome installations. iRidium driver for MyHome was created in close partnership with MyHome programmers and integrators with consideration to their particular needs and requirements. As a result of this cooperative work the new version iRidium V2.1 was released.
