I am new to this so please be gentle!
We are building a new home in Australia where I want to implement a security system as well as DIY home automation. I am thinking of the following...
Stand alone hard wired security system that is professionally installed.
Homeseer automation, but that also passively monitors the signals from the sensors on the automation system to have a single place to monitor everything as well as use them for some of the control (lights etc). Except for that, I would leave the security system as stand alone.
I have been looking on the forums and this doesnt seem so straight forward.
Specific questions..
1. Does what I want to do make sense? Pitfalls?
2. I plan to do this as I have been reading about the security vulnerabilities of zwave. Is this real, or just hype? has it been resolved?
3. what would be the best way to implement the system I described above.
Thanks for your help
