Ahhhh. I was just replying to this thread and we had a power outage. Bad Karma for posting from work I guess 
I just my NCO to get a cheapo UPS for each PC in the shop on the next supply run, that should fix it...
Anyway, back on topic.
I believe their are some good posts over in the applied digital message board about pure-ocelot security systems. What would be neat would be to 1st setup the pure-ocelot system,and then create ways to monitor & control it from HomeSeer, but HomeSeer would not be required for full security system functionality. I think there are some CMAX programs already posted at the message board too.
Here's my suggestion on how to do it. Martin, forgive me for not linking to products at your site, but as it's been said before Smarthome's a good place to "window shop," so let's go window shopping!
First, for a way to arm and disarm. This is a bit pricey ($99), but this 6-relay receiver:
http://www.smarthome.com/7446wa.html can give you all sorts of secure ways to arm and disarm your alarm system, and maybe do a few extra things (like open/close the garage door) all with one remote! It comes with one remote and extra remotes
http://www.smarthome.com/7446.html are $45 each. My wife does not like the big bulky X10 security remotes we have now, so I'm thinking of getting these to use, in conjunction with my Ocelot & SECU to arm/disarm the system. I'll still need to use the X10 wireless security stuff for monitoring, because I move every few years, So I can't have a completely HomeSeer-free security system.
Next thing would be to put some cheap contact switches
http://www.smarthome.com/seccontacts.html everywhere you can think of, (and dependent on how many SECU16I's you have) to monitor your doors, windows, etc.
Then it's time for some indoor and Outdoor hard-wired motion sensors.
The only hard-wired glass break sensors I have personal experience were ones that were hard-wired into an apartment I lived in about 5 years ago. They were too sensitive and gave me false alarms all the time (Either that or someone was breaking glass in/near my apartment when I was away from home almost every day). I have one X10 RF one now and it seems to work OK (It gives nbo falsey's, but I haven't had any glass break to test it with [I geuss that's good news]).
Everything I mentioned can be wired directly to the SECU's supervised inputs.
The good news, is once setup, you can have it all run independently on the Ocelot, but have the luxury of being able to monitor every little thing via HomeSeer, and Arming/Disarming over the phone or web with HomeSeer. The bad news is, by the time you buy an Ocelot, one or two SECUs, the relay receiver with an extra remote, all the contact sensors and the motion detectors, you probably could have bought a security system with RS232 comms that could talk to HomeSeer. But that's no fun!
And of course, you could "exclude" the cost of the Ocelot from the system since it has so many other uses... and a lot of the other stuff can be bought for a really good price from folks like Martin and some of those clearance houses people have been posting about later. Other good news about using the Ocelot is that you can mix and match to your heart's content, where as a lot of alarm manufacturers require to use their stuff only.
Now that's about all I know this topic (most of it leached off everyone here and about). Whenever you're ready to do some power detection and/or watchdog stuff with the Ocelot, I can really square you away :wub:
