Hey guys,
I'm setting up my new home and installing my M1G. I've decided to jump into interacting with Yale zwave locks and thermostats and although my original plan was to stick to controlling it all with the elk and using the elk zwave module it appears that going the ISY route doesn't really cost more.
What would you recommend?
Second question... I'm also planning on getting an energy monitor and irrigation controller. Is there any benefit to controlling these through the ISY versus getting stand alone systems that are designed for each specific task? The Rachio looks hard to beat, and there appear to be quite a few energy monitors that well reviewed.
