Hi Vijay

 

The prices are so exceptional that you can't go wrong with any of the stuff!

 

The PC kit is an interesting and quick way t get int computer controlled HA.  The "ActiveHome" software supplied with the PC Interface is a bit pants and if you get it download the demo from www.homeseer.com and give it a try.

I am a complete idiot ( i think you all kindly call it a newbie!!) at HA and
have been looking at some of the sites - esp Mark McCalls and Keith Doxey's
( both of Whom and all the others who have such fantastic HA setups, I take
my hat off t and who I hope will give some advice when I can ask some
intelligent questions). I joined ukha_d a few days ag and was following the
Homebase thread. Please can someone tell me what kit or kits t get if a
local Homebase has them? Should I get a minitimer, or the PC kit or the
Remote Control Kit or the Timer Kit, or would you advise t get all?
Thanks
