Hi
I'm new to Homeseer and seen that there are various security systems which can be used with HS3.
What I am looking for is some advice on which system are available in the UK at a reasonable price, it would need it to be a wireless system, which is the best plug-in that works well. I see HAI has been updated to use an Ethernet connection, although their systems seem very expensive at $700+ for the control unit.
What I would like to achieve is an alarm system that can be activated/controlled from HSTouch using the tablet I have mounted on the wall, so with the single button that I currently have which basically shuts down the house when I leave, puts the heating in to economy, turns music on for the dog etc I'd quite like it to also arm the security system at the same time.
Added to this I'd like to be able to use the PIRs that make up part of the security system to activate Events in HS, for instance bring the hall lights on between 11pm-Sunrise so when getting up in the night to go to the bathroom or the kids the lights come on very dimmed. I'd want to use the door and window sensors to also have a visual indication on the tablets home screen of what doors and windows are open or closed, plus I can use these events to also shut down the heating in individual rooms when windows are left open using the EvoHome system.
Thinking outside of the box, has anyone ever used HS as their security controller by simply adding wireless PIRs, Window/Door sensors etc that work with the RFXCOM Plug-in and Transceiver and created Events to monitor these? Not sure if this is even possible or the devices even exist or are compatible with the RFXCOM Plug-in, but would be interested to hear from anyone that has used compatible devices.
I look forward to hearing from anyone with their experiences and advice.
Thanks in advance.
Rob.
