I have been looking for a way to use existing alarm devices (sensors) to drive a home automation system.
X10 is flakey, and not especially secure. This product seems like it would make it easy to see events (or I think they are called Faults) on an alarm system and pull them into a home automation system. I starting going down the route of a W800, but I just stop using X10 sensors all together.
If this is the case, and I really don't care at all about the alarm functionality, what would someone suggest what I would need minimally to allow me to use existing alarm sensors/hardware to drive home automation. ..
I know nothing about alarm hardware, but I do understand X10 PLMs and Linux pretty well.
I see great review on this product, both on amazon and other boards.
