Hello All. I recently moved into a new house and with a baby,work and tight schedules home automation looks something worthwhile. Through my quest for a reliable automation platform I landed on homeseer.
I have been going through the forums and it has helped me a lot!
I currently installed trial version of Homeseer on a netbook to be particular, asus 1000ha running XP. I am using Z-stick gen5. I currently have one kwikset lock and a foscam camera as devices. It run's OK, I have netcam,z-wave,hs-touch plugins running. I was wondering if this setup will work if I go ahead using homeseer for the next say 2-3 years before I upgrade the hardware. My setup will mostly increase to 4 z-wave locks, 15 door/window contact sensors, a few light switches, bulbs, garage door opener and anything else I might find use for. I want a machine just to run homeseer, will this work? or should I look into getting a new machine. If needed will something like this work?

I like the smaller foot print. It will be in basement along with my router,modem and a Plex server in the future on a UPS.
Thanks for reading and I am sure I will have more questions hope you can help me .
Also, I can access homeseer form the web interface when I am connected to my network does that mean anyone connected to my
home network has access to it? Is there anyway to limit this?
