So now I have two questions:
1) If you go with a system such as z-wave devices, but you want to add on non-standard items (maybe pressure sensors, door open/closed circuits, or anything non z-wave compliant), how would you do so? Would that require everything run to a hardware box that centralizes your Z-wave devices and your other devices? Or is there any way to do that with software only?
2) Are wireless devices really that unreliable? I've been thinking they would be fine, but I'm hearing alot of bad press. I live out in the suburbs of a small town, so not alot of interference, but still a concern.
