Homeowner Forum / Home Automation / December 2004

Well, that's the question.  I'm just getting ready to have a house built
(after old one burned) and I'm reading lots of wiring guides, etc.  I guess
I'm just wondering if Activehome stuff is good to play with early on to get
a start in home control.  It certainly seems to be pretty inexpensive.

Eventually I'm going to need ability to monitor a lot of temperatures to
control semi-active solar systems -- Activehome stuff doesn't seem to have
that ability at all. Have a long way to go in figuring out what the final
system will look like, but thought this little module might be able to take
care of a lot of the timed and photo-sensed control issues even after the
new house is finished.

Any suggestions appreciated.
