If you haven't heard of LinuxMCE, it is well worth your time to become acquainted with this open-source effort to tie together home-theatre, home automation, alarm systems, and telephone voicemail.
LinuxMCE's new promotional video demonstrates an impressive degree of integration and sophistication for a V1.0 product. I especially enjoyed the last few minutes showing how, by pressing the RF remote's "follow-me" button, media streamed to one station switches to whatever room you enter. It was followed by a demonstration of how it integrates with an alarm panel; warning messages are flashed on all stations when security is breached.
Even if you have no desire to try LinuxMCE, it is worth familiarizing yourself with its capabilities; it can serve to inspire you to emulate its features using your own HA equipment.
PS Wasn't sure where to post this message ... it encompasses Cocoontech's three major forums: Home Automation, Home Security, and Home Theatre.
