Howdy everyone. I'm a long time lurker, but this is my first post.
I have nothing as far as HA equipment goes. My interest has been peeked after reading the forums here while researching home security systems. I'm planing to get an ELK (no exactly sure which one yet) and some basic HA stuff (I'm guessing everyone here started out to just do a few basic things
). I'm not planing on doing anything until fall. This will give me time to decide what I want to get, get it, and not have to be in a Texas attic in summer.
So now that I've introduced myself, on to my original topic.
I had seen a few little bits of informationon the FiOS Fone recently. Last weekend I participated in a survey from a third party for Verizon and the FiOS Fone. The features that were alluded to really peeked my interest and I have since found some other information on gizmodo. There is also some information on Open Peak's website.
And while there is no information on pricing, the survey I took alluded to $199 and $230 for one that was integrated with FiOS TV (which I also have) for 6 months.
Now I'm curious what y'all think about it, or what more do you know about it. Would it work well with a HA system? Are there other things out there now that would work better to do the same things?
