I have been an Omnipro and UPB user for almost 10 years now with mostly good experiences. I have recently added HS to my setup (which has allowed me to expand the functionality of my home automation system significantly). HSTouch (at least my customized interface) suffers from connection issues and can be frustrating but, for the most part, I am happy with HS in general.
As I get ready for a new home construction, a dilemma arises: should I stay with the same setup or migrate to a mostly Zwave and HS system and dump the OP (and UPB)? Yes, I realize that the OP is Zwave capable (with limitations).
Yes, the OP (and UPB) work. Analog security cameras work too but I will not be installing coax this time. IP cameras is where is at. Can the same argument be made for the OP?<O
Lastly, it seems like a Zwave based system is more portable meaning that, if needed, changing from one software/controller system to another would be much easier.
What do you all think? Would you move on or stay the course?
