RE: Which HA standard to use for first home?

Hi Gareth,



Interested to see that you are using Comfort for your C-Bus logic.



I wonder how sophisticated you have got with this and any little tricks
you have developed...



Do you use C-Bus wall plates or conventional light switches?

Nigel

Duncan

I've now got Comfort connected to my main CBUS network, and some old X10
(which shall soon be retired), and now I also have ZWave.

Comfort has CBUS and ZWave UCM's to control them centrally. I dont use
CBUS
logic at all.

Happy to talk offline if you're interested in any of these.

The prices on your blog seem high - you'll prob find you can get them
for
almost half that price.

Hi

I've been following HA things on and off for a few years, and finally

getting my first home, so am researching more thoroughly now. I've

written a blog post about the different standards I could find and

have settled on ZWave for the moment.

What I'm looking for is some feedback on my blog post, as it details

pretty much all my thoughts of the different standards and I'd like to

know if I'm way off or if there's some options I haven't looked into
yet.

I'm planning on documenting my whole journey and since the software

I've seen so far is pretty rubbish-looking I may end up writing my

own, which would be Open Source (so far I don't understand xPL well

enough to contribute).

Thanks

Duncan
