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...

Is this able to control z-wave lighting?

I think I'll look into the Panasonic receiver a bit more. Thank you all for the help

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 agree, those screen shots are really nice. I was looking at a remote (Harmony 890) that is capable of controlling z wave products. So, theoretically it should control intermatic products since it uses the z wave technology? I think I've decided to go with CQC. In order to set up TTS to a...

looks great!! I have a question that kind of off the CQC topic. I am doing some research and have been reading about z wave and intermatic. What are the similarities with there 2? Is it just that they both use RF? Is one better than the other? And does CQC support intermatic products? Thanks.

IVB - How long did it take you to learn how to use the interface? I think I'll download the trial version once I get everything hooked up. I presume you feel CQC would be the best software for me?

I dont really have a budget. I just want to be able to do the things that I want without spending an unnecessary amount of money. Whats the difference between CQC and Homeseer? Does Homeseer have an easier interface?

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.

I'm not sure of my budget, probably a couple thousand to do lighting, speakers, climate control, & security. Is this a fair budget to do this and to add macros to everything? I was reading in a post that there is a way to have the news read to you over the speaker system? Is this costly...
