What else is z wave compatible? I have my switches picked out and I know of a thermostat (RCS) that will work with z wave, but do they have motion and heat detectors, etc.? What are the model numbers because I haven't found any. Thanks.

I was about to purchase Insteon switches when I read that you need to have neutral wires in the switch box. As I dont think this is the case at my house, is it possible to just cap the load wire and use an x10 address? My other option is to go with z wave or x10. Z wave is a bit pricey for me...

I am working on an Insteon based HA and am not sure which module will work on my fan in my bedroom. Right now I have a switch that just controls the on/off functionality of the light and fan. The fan will only work when the switch is set to on. I will have to see if there is a lead to control...

What will the Homeseer software do that the Houselinc software wont do? Is it just the remote access capability that Homeseer has?

I am trying to set up scene lighting in my house and was going to go with the Insteon switchlinc 2476D's. The only problem is it looks like there is only a tabletop controller to active the scenes and not a handheld device. As I dont want to spend $300 on a pronto right now are there any other...

I was originally going to purchase the ir543 to have my remote communicate with lighting and thermostat but I am now thinking of going with the ocelot. Before I do, I have a couple questions about its versatility. 1. Can the ocelot use all of the house codes of x10 (similar to the ir543ah)...

I am in the midst of implementing HA and have some questions on scene lighting. As my main focus is to use a remote (TSU 3000 or Harmony 880) for my lighting and HT, I am looking into X10 and Insteon. If I was to go with x10, I would use the switchlinc 2380's due to their scene capabilities...

Which do you think is better? I love the z wave feature on the harmony remote, but the philips seems like it can do more than the Harmony. I was reading that the philips can use its integrated wifi to grap files off a computer. Does this mean I could potentially control lighting by getting...

I have another question related to my other post titled "Home Theater receiver question". I know that the harmony remote will work with z wave lighting, but will it also work with a z wave or aprilaire thermostat?

I am in the process of building a home theater system. As my funds are somewhat limited, I am looking for a dvd players/av receiver solution instead of spending money on seperate components. My budget is around $200-$300. I am looking at the JVC RX DV31SL dvd player/av receiver. What do you...

I want to start integrating automation into my home. My current needs are to control lighting, climate control, have TTS, and monitor my washer and dryer (the W&D are in the basement so I want to know when the cycle is done). I am going to use z wave lighting. I may expand in the future but...

I am ready to begin my first HA project and need some infomation on product capabilities. I just purchased an existing home and want to get the lighting automated. I'm going to use z-wave switches (I'm going with z-wave because it's cheaper than upb but more reliable than x10). My question...

I have been reading posts for about a week now and am still confused with all the different products. Is there a good post or infomrational that I've missed on the basics? PLease let me know if there are websites with information for beginners. Thank you.
