I have posted one or two questions on here, but never introduced myself, so that's what this message is for...
In my old house I had the lighting in the house controlled by X-10 and some software I wrote myself that interfaced with a Redac (anyone remember them? made by ADI). The software worked good, except for the occasional... ahem... bug in the code that would cause the lights to come on and off all at once in the middle of the night. It would have been funny had it not been 2am.
I'm now in a different house and have been planning my HA setup for probably a year or more. I tend to move slow with things. There was a time I wanted to be on the bleeding edge of everything, now I'm older and I prefer the dull butter knife edge
I just last week placed my order with Automation Outlet to begin automating my new house. I will be getting (if UPS showed up today) 55 Insteon switches and an Elk M1EZ8 with wireless and wired sensors. I have an Ocelot and SECU-16IR I plan to use for IR distribution, and a Lacrosse WS2010 weather station I hope to integrate into HomeSeer, which is the software I ordered.
My inspiration and what I aspire to is a web page and system like this guy has:
www.bwired.nl
That's my HA goals in a nutshell. This is a great site.
