HI all, Long time no see! Hope everyone has been doing well... Havent been playing around with HA for a while now (5 years or so). Last I left off, I was using Girder 3.x with a hodgepodge of x10 / misc. parts for random HA projects around the house. At the time I was running this on an...

Several remotes work via wi-fi... Nevo, RTI, etc. The nevo is a remote I've been considering for a while (waiting for bugs to be fixed and price to come down). Lists for about $800, so I haven't made the plunge yet, but seems promising. http://www.mynevo.com/ Discussion about said remote...

Is the HA server (ala USB-UIRT) going to control the 1st floor equipement? If so, being the cheapass that i am, you can always go with some Powermids. I use a few of these to send signals thoughout my pad.

LOL I meant 1890's ! wait... when was the telegraph invented? Bah... 1830's Trivia for the day... "Samuel F. B. Morse (1791–1872) is generally credited with making the first practical telegraph in 1837." Yes, they can be daisy chained together. While wired is tried and true... all the...

Wow... (by Snapstream).... the makers of BeyondTV.... I really wish i had bought SageTV back in the day. This company is focusing on everything but making money and keeping customers. Their frontend... scrapped. Their TV software, all but... now this joke? all I can say is :lol: I bet...

Wires are so 1990's Why not just get a RF remote? MX-?? (your choice), Nevo, Harmony 890, etc. Heck, a cheap x10 rf remote might work! Hardwired is a better solution for many (most) things, but for your particular situation, I'd investigate RF remotes. A repeater may or may not be necessary...

D-Tools is one that I have read about in several CI forums. No personal experience with it, but may be something to look into. Another place you may want to ask this same question is at http://www.integrationpros.com/, or even in the CI forum at www.remotecentral.com to see if how many...
