Subject: RE: Home Automation System



Central Nebraska

I've yet to find a "Home Automation System" that does all the necessary thing very good.  I prefer to use several different systems to get it all working.  For the the bulk of the automation stuff I'd look into a z-wave system.  There are various controllers but I like the MicasaVerde Vera line of products.  A small controller connects to your network and then your connected z-wave devices connect to that.  Light switches, outlets, thermostats, door locks, etc.  I believe they can do garage doors now too and some manufacturers may have it built in now as well.  For thermostats nearly all major manufacturers offer a connected type thermostat that can connect to a z-wave network.  They can also do security type setups with motion and door/window sensors.

For cameras I prefer a stand alone system (Ubiquiti) that operates over a wired ethernet network.  That way the processing power isn't on a device doing something else.
