12 years ago when we were building our house I was working with a consultant (via the web, out of business now) and wired our house for security./ automation. Lots of 22/4 wire was run.
Every window is wired for a sensor. Each room is wired for glass break. Other parts of the house are wire for motion sensors. Garage is wired.
I have a document that my Dad put together for me so I know the origin of all of ther wires.
But like everyone knows LIFE and family events both good and bad have happen and so now 12 year later it time to start finishing the project.
So my first question is this. I am looking to use an ELK M1 Gold for security and HA.
I would like to do the following:
Security System
Monitor / Control Lighting
Monitor Doors / Monitor and Control Door Locks
Monitor Windows
Monitor Net Cameras/Activate Camera When Motion Detected
Would like to monitor and view remotely via iPhone/iPad etc..
Can the ELK do all of this or would I be better off using a Homeseer appliance for home automation and have it interface with the ELK for security?
Thank you
