    printf("Hello world\n"); //looking to start with Z-Wave and need some suggestions

    So the beaming devices wake up the sleeping devices?  I'm still not sure I understand, or are you referring to the wireless signal as beaming?   Yeah, after all the reading I've been doing, I'm going to get the ISY994i ZW to support Z-Wave, then get the Insteon PLM.  Probably get an Elk M1 and...

    Weird.   I'll try that RFIT to set-up my network too.   Thanks for the recommendations.

    I still need to learn a lot more about Elk.  I didn't know they also did automation.  I wonder if I can get away with just the Elk controller and not bother with the ISY then?  I guess it depends on whether or not Elk can do Insteon as well (I'd like to keep that option open for the future).  I...

       nearly 90 z-wave devices    :o From what I've been reading, I'd rather go with wired for the security system, but I just won't be able to wire up the window sensors, and some of the motion sensors so I've been looking into Elk.  Apparently it's quite popular in the home automation circles...

    printf("Hello world\n"); //looking to start with Z-Wave and need some suggestions

    Wow, that's a bit eye-opening.   So, it's not because of the wireless aspect (wireless is NOT the best for security, but I don't think I will be dealing with the most sophisticated criminals), you just don't think it would be reliable enough to trigger when there's an actual break in? Is it that...

    Hello World......well, at least this forum.   I've been meaning to hook up a Z-Wave system in my home for quite some time now (slowly started buying Z-Wave compatible parts), but then got busy (had a kid, so therefore, my free time for this went down the drain).  But since the global economic...
