Never did anything with the panels - I tend to try and use HA to link things together, rather than have it all integrated - had a "reasonable" quote from my alarm chaps for a replacement panel with some more zones and a couple of relays for me to hang inputs from.
Thinking I might do something with one of the panels you were talking about next year, and have 2 systems running - one "all mine and automated" and the other one that is just there and the wife can't moan about it - then gradually switching over to depending more on the automated system.
The most pressing thing for me is decent motion sensors so I can do some sensible occupancy stuff - the x10 RF units are just not reliable enough to give what I need on their own - I want some hard wired units around - so I may start on that approach using a smart panel.
Anyway - apart from 6 months worth of travel expenses that need to be completed, all I have got to do next week is sort out this plugin.
