to all,
building new house (stsarting groundbreaking in 2 weeks).
I've used HomeSeer at a remote vacation home, and am looking to incorporte zwave, and alarm system, (security and fire/carbon monoxide), and wireless phone->to->bluetooth box (that lets the cell phone be used by all the phones of a cordless phone system)
first, any ideas of security systems that can tie in with homeseer, or talk to homeseer (preferably wireless ones)
second - as we build, WHAT do I have to incorporate into the building plans, for any wiring, etc, so that down the road, I don't have to go climbing in the attic or basement (but i do have good basement access) to run new wires, etc, so at least any necessary wiring is planned out as we build.
Example, I'v eseen some of the remote scene controllers for zwave (have not used one), versus installig a 6-scene leviton controller at the front door, etc, or are the wired ones better?
I'm not looking for super-extensive controlling (or my wife will shoot me), but some lighting controls for outside lights, and some scene controls (leaving, entering, possible thermostast control)
(I currently use the wayne dalton at the remote house)
any feedback appreciated
thanks
Nick
