Just in case anyone is curious, PowerHome seems to work as far as the basics go as well on 2012r2 as I've seen posts mention it does on 2008. The only thing I had to do special to get it to run was set it to run as admin and there was an ODBC config window that kept popping up. I just had to name the connection so it'd be happy.
So far no issues, use the Win8 drivers to install your hardware piece and theoretically you're good to go. I'll report back if I run into anything weird once I actually roll the rebuild into "production" :-)

I just moved PH to Server 2012 R2 from WHS 2011.
It installed fine but I am getting this error over and over.
"Get IM Info command failed for Insteon PLM SMARTHOME PLM. Attempting to restart controller.."
PH did work for once until I shut it down but not again.
Any thoughts?

Make sure that for the properties of the shortcut you have it set to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode and always run as administrator.
If it still does it, let me know, I got a number of errors during setup and had to work through them. One thing that bugs me is I can't have it start at startup, I always have to manually run it for some reason. But that's not a huge problem, I don't take it down very often :)

Windows 7 compatibility mode did the trick. It’s odd that I tried Windows XP mode and that didn't help.
Have you tried the option of running PH as a service?
Thanks!

Yeah, I remember it was a bit of exploration to get it working right. No, I'm happy running it as is. I like having the actual app running for when I tinker and such. I guess I could do, or try to do, a service setup, but I've not done it :)

Well, I added a couple of roles to the server and PH quit working, same error. Something with the USB PLM driver is not working correctly I guess.
I am going to create a Windows 7 VM and put PH there and try again.

Hmm, let me know how it works. I seriously considered that, I actually wanted to just load up Hyper-V initially and run everything in VMs, but I couldn't find any info on USB pass through or any hardware pass through really, so I gave up pretty quickly on that idea.
I don't have many roles, Hyper-V, IIS, and File/Print sharing, loaded on my server, but I don't really know why that would make a difference. Are you sure you've got the latest driver for Windows 8 loaded on it?
Also, did it ask you to do the ODBC connection setup? I had that pop up a bunch when I first loaded and had to configure it with a name basically, after that it was happy.
