So earlier this week, my M1G keyboards all went dark, even though the unit is powered. Yeay, probably something wrong with the 485 bus.
I was about to boot up my old Pentium3/Win95 machien and start troubleshooting, and then it hit me... like all technology, is it time to move on?
When I bought and installed my Elk:
I have a bunch of ELK and ELK-compatible gear -- keyboards, expansion zones, wireless, zwave/leviton, HAI thermostats, etc. But for all that, I still feel like a NEST would have higher WAF (and i could at least adjust the temp on my thermostats)
Looking for opinions/options. Anyone else with an ELK (or who had an ELK) consider replacing it? Anyone move from ELK to HAI (or some other device better supported by the DIY community)? Given the huge amount of devices on the market, any of the modern systems impress this community?
Thanks!

PS -- I also have a full, never-used license to CQC. Would love to make use of it at some point.

When I bought and installed my Elk:
- The iPhone hadn't been invented/released
- cellular was still expensive
- Zwave was in its infancy
- X10 was... well... X10 :unsure:
- and ELK somewhat supported the DIY community.
