OK, I'm ready to pull the trigger on HomeSeer. I've done a good deal of research and I even flirted with Vera for a while. I'm super excited about HomeSeer and the fantastic support community.
As I plan my initial purchase I would love to get some thoughts on options for hardware to run HS3Pro. I haven't ruled out the Hometroller S6 Pro as a "turn-key" solution, however, the hardware comes at a premium; Windows 7 Embedded seems a bit dated as an OS; and, a small dedicated PC will give me more flexibility in terms of memory, storage and expansion, now and later. If I go with my own box will I lose anything in terms of reliability and convenience. I'm guessing the embedded OS is pretty bulletproof in this regard. I don't mind occasional maintenance, but otherwise I want to be able to set it and forget it.
Thanks,
Dave
