I am currently using a CADDX NX-8 for security in my home. I would like to eliminate the CADDX and in it's place use an ocelot and SECU's.
Would I be able to use the security contacts PIR's etc. for home automation when the security system is not armed? If it's a software issue which software should I use. I have been following along here and the ADI support forums and I see that the most popular software seems to be Homeseer but I'm thinking of setting up a Linux box again with a low end PC just for HA. Any software suggenstions for something like Homeseer on Linux/Apache?
I wired my home for home automation placing 2 speakers in each room via home runs to my HA "closet". I have been using these speakers for home audio but I would like to use them for HA announcements and audio. Is this possible?
How are your speakers set up to make announcements? How many speakers can you use at one time? I see there is hardware out there that makes it possible to use something like 6 or 8 pairs of speakers at the same time. Do they work? Will it damage my amp??
I think I have asked enough questions for now
but hey no worries I've got plenty
