Oh, and lastly of course, I still have control over exactly what can be
done
via the MSN client, as it's still all going through a Homeseer script to
parse the commands, so only the commands I cater for in the script are
available via this interface (and I wouldn't envisage disarming the
security
system as being one of them!).
Also, simple (albeit clear-text) password-challenge authentication could be
easily coded into the script....
