RE: Honeywell Smartfit

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

I use Comfort with the Smartfit interface - it was quite easy to
replace
the existing controller and valves.



The benefit is now that I can control the heating and hot water from
pretty much anything, anywhere given the right interface. I've still
not
programmed it up using HomeVision yet though. The plan is to have
phone,
web and local (home written app in Director/flash) control. It's also
easy to link it to the alarm status so that the heating is turned off
when armed to away (unless there is an override schedule set). Pretty
good stuff.



Paul.

I do. Using a combination of Comfort and Homeseer. I would love to
integrate the Honeywell stuff but cost is a factor. My heating timer is
controlled using an X10 module. I turn it on/off using Comfort over the
phone, a Touchlinc touchscreen in the kitchen, an IR->X10 device in
the
living room with my pronto and fonally using Homeseer to set the on/off
schedules.
