Wow. This thread took off. Thank you all for contributing. and a special thank you to the pros. I realize that this is  sort of your job, but not all companies are willing to contribute to a customer diy forum and it is really appreciated.

Thank you both. Am I understanding you correctly that you can get better latencies and a more robust system if the hardware (Elk, etc) is doing all the physical connectivity and the software (CQC, etc) does most of the higher level thinking?   Whatever I do, WAF is going to be a huge issue, so I...

I've searched for this answer (really!) and haven't quite come up with it.  What is the advantage, if any, to pairing an HA system (e.g. Homeseer or CQC) with an Elk M1G or HAI OmniPro II vs pairing the HA system with a very basic security panel (DSC, Honeywell, etc)?  I gather that there has to...

Thank you. For a follow up question, do you know if the Lutron controller can be controlled through the serial port, from the M1, and through the Ethernet, by e.g. the android app, at the same time? Well, not really simultaneously, but would both be available - I.e. connecting one doesn't...

II've got an old Honeywell system that has started to give me lots of errors So, it  seems like a nice time to upgrade a little. I'm currently thinking that the M1G and Lutron Radio RA2 for lights   makes the most sense for me (and my wife), but I'm a total noob with respect to home security and...

I'm a total noob and trying to plan a replacement security system with some automation functions. My   question is about the interface of the two systems. So, I know about the M1SXLU, but the Radio RA2 also has an Ethernet connection. So, can the M1 control the Radio RA2 system via the Ethernet...
