Sounds great - I wouldnt say *requirements* so much as dreams - but here
goes anyway -
1. Automatic gates / garage door
2. I really would like something like the comfort panel system for
    home security - perhaps those PIR detectors with mini
    cameras built-in
3. Remote conrol/monitoring (via web) - status / real time camera shots
4. ???

What I would really be interested in is knowing how much all this stuff
costs (roughly) from people who have done it. Also as I program/build
computers for a living is it worth trying to develop stuff yourself, or are
the pre-made systems flexable enough to do what you want on the budget you
want?

Thanks

Simon.

Subject: [ukha_d] just to say hello!


Hi all,

I am new to the group, I have been lurking for about a week now!!

I am just about to start planning and building a new home, I plan to install
CAT5 everywhere, and would love some automated features in the house.

If it was up to me alone the whole house would be automated, with
touchscreen LCD displays in every room etc etc, but there is SWMBO (love the
acronym ;) to contend with.

Anyone else from N Ireland? I would love to actually see some of this stuff
in action, the comfort security system looks excellent!

Anyway just wanted to say hello.

Simon.
