Thanks
for the replies Mike and Kenneth. However I think perhaps I wasn't
clear
enough. I understand the reasons for wanting to have an Alarm system
"talking" to a home controller (as explained by both of you), however my
question restated maybe a little clearer is:
"for
people who own security panels/systems WITH elements of HA
controller functionality (e.g. lighting control possibilities) built
in
(eg. Genesis or Comfort) AND also own an HA controller such as Homevision,
do
they actually use the HA controller functions in the security
panels/systems and
if so why. "
Maybe
people with both always purchased the security panels/systems for other
reasons
than the HA controlling function (and security of course which is a
given) eg. Comfort for telephony functions.
Does
that make sense ??

Shane,
The idea behind
allowing the two to “talk” to each other is for occupancy
detection and
integration, i.e. the house behaves differently when the alarm is armed and
various things can be done with this, well that’s my plan
anyway.

Panels
I would like to
ask
the group about split functionality between between a pure HA
controller
(Homevision springs to mind :-) ) and a security system that has HA
control functions in it - specifically Comfort or Genesis
?
Clearly the
security
panel performs security and I know the comfort system has the
telephone functionality. The question is really about the features
that
could be performed by either. The reason for the question. ?
Well
I am seriously considering the Homevision system with a Caddx NX-8 but I
know
a number of you have a Comfort and at least Frank has a Genesis.
Frank's
site talks about doing some control with the security product and some with
homevision - I just don't understand why, why not leave the HA control to
the
HA controller and the security to the security controller - are
there significant limitations with homevision that preclude this
?
