Hello

[lonebrave]

I'll soon be moving to Maryland. My plan is to install Insteon throughout the house, a GEM from Brultech for electric monitoring, and an Elk M1 for security.

I tinkered with UPB a bit about 6 years ago. I considered UPB again, but like the options for Insteon devices a bit better. I've planned out all the devices that I'll need...something close to 80 devices in total.

The GEM is second on the list of tasks once the Insteon stuff is well underway. I've got 37 circuits between two main panels. I think I have it all mapped out as to how to connect to the GEM. I've still got more reading to do on this, though, so that mapping may change in the future.

The GEM is on my shortlist too... when I had the spare cash, they were more than a year behind their estimate for delivery; now I have more pressing projects - but with $900+ electric bills at times, I need to be able to map out every penny including how much a particular dishwasher or dryer cycle costs!
