Paul..

I'll take a look at Homeseer, but I was *trying* to acheive this without
spending more money :)

I did the same recently but using MainLobby. It's really great
when all the systems actually come together and are reportable and
controllable from one place :)

xAP plugin for HomeVision was written by Mark Harrison but it
has a bit of a memory leak so I never got it working properly. In the
end I bought HomeSeer (bit expensive) and now use the HomeVision plugin
and the xAP HS plugin to achieve a great result. I'd really recommend
this route - it works very well.

Paul.
