Most integrated hardware system?

[email68]

I've had a JDS Stargate system for over 10 years. It was a system ahead of its time. What I love about it is all the integrated hardware like 16 opto-isolated inputs, eight relay outputs, and eight analog inputs.

I've been running HomeSeer along with SG for years. Since HS3, there is no plugin, and because of the aging hardware, I don't expect it.

What is the best hardware system that works tightly with HS3? I am looking closely at the ElkM1 Gold, but I don't know how well it's integrated. Or if there is a better one.

Looking for lots of inputs, relay outputs, expand ability.

I am continuing to use my Stargate. I communicate with it using ASCII messages. I described how I do it in a thread on the SG forum some time ago.

I have access to its inputs, relays, and the IR expander. It also allows me to offload a few tasks that it performs autonomously. I keep it attached to its X10 interface, too, to allow me to monitor X10 traffic with it.
