Hey all,
Just finally created an account after lurking for quite sometime. I have been researching an alarm/home automation system and all google searches on those topics point here...
Finally bought a HAI Omni Pro II system after a field trip to Automated Outlet. I live in Dallas, so while it is a bit of a drive, it was worth it. Those guys were great and really liked their showroom, their reputation on here is reflected in person. I only wish I had an unlimited budget. I am sure it is the same with most of you here, you do it yourself to save money, extend your options, or just for the shear fun of tinkering.
I am working through a few newb/old house issues with my install and will probably start posting some questions. Hope you all can help out, and maybe down the road I can return the favor.
Anyway, I am a structural engineer by day and computer geek by night, with a big dose of the home improvement bug thrown in. Glad I can join the community.

I already have another list of items I absolutely can not live without!
