Thought i would chime in here, I have a 20-30 node Z-wave setup but have never used powerline x10 in my own home. I like it because: It is reliable Fast Wireless Cheap-ish lots of differnet devices Cons: the cheaper switches are no longer avaliable Suggestions I have dimmers, thermostats and relays ...

Well what i was doing was enable and disable zones by modes.

So lets say zones 1 & 2 are in arm away and only zone 1 is in arm stay.

i can enable or disable the zone 2 tasks only in arm away.

another example is modes for a security system:

disarm, arm - stay, arm - away

by using modes you can enable or disable various zones.

Have fun with it!

Hi Guys, I am still struggling with Squeezebox integration into Housebot. I ran a trial of Homeseer Pro with the squeezebox plugin to get a feel for what might be possible and i was impressed by how well it worked and dissapointed by how badly my setup worked in housebot. Who else is using Squeezebo...
