Im hoping that someone can help me out here. Ive never posted on a forum or anything but here is my dilemma...
Is there any brain or control unit on the market like control4 mixed with a homeseer but more of a diy?
There are some things such as security that I have all hardwired to every door and window and home run back to where i want to put my control unit. Also there are other things that i have home ran such as cat5e and rg6q to potential tv stations, and then cat5 to the sprinkler unit and garage. (I don't neccesarily need help running wire or anything, I've read plenty and have local friends to help)
My house still does not have the sheet rock up and i was just planning on having a control4 dealer come in and install the brain but i don't want to have to deal with paying them thousands when/if anything happens down the road.
Bottom line is I want a main control unit for everything to plug into (security and automation). Something that i could possibly add z-wave door locks to and potentially light switches that i can set timers and control with a smart phone. Does something like this exist?!?!
