As I am not a programmer, I'm more dependant on off the shelf products=20=
to get my HA working seamlessly=2E  Currently I just have a bunch of
X10=20=
lamp and appliance modules, plus an IR and a Pronto to control the=20=
X10=2E

Ideally, what I'd like is a package that is a reasonable cost, and=20=
supports the following features:

1=2E Remote X10 control over the WWW
2=2E Security recording of visitors to the house - much like the IR
cams=20=
that link to a video, but instead of tape they write the pictures to a=20=
PC hard drive=2E  If it was really cleaver, it would email the picture=20=
to wherever I happen to be at the time=2E
3=2E Remote monitoring of house web cams over WWW

Above all, it's got to be user friendly - perhaps just a picture of=20=
the house floorplan with buttons for each of the controllable=20=
appliances=2E

Is this wishful thinking, or does something close to this exist? =20=
Something that allows me to smuggle all the gadgets past my=20=
less-than-impressed wife would also be extremely handy!

Pete
