Hi David
I dont know how much Comfort costs in the UK but here in
Australia it is quite expensive.In some electronic component stores over
here you can buy a panel with pirs etc for $400.00 - $500.00. Money
spend
on rubbish IMO . If you are going to buy some other panel make sure you are
buying from a proper security equipment supplier .And finally if you
want
a real alarm panel have a look at Genesis .
ps Now i know how Jerome
feels
like with his Mac

Summary - WAS X10 Heating & Security Automation - Another Newbie Q
uestion!
Thanks for this Mark. You know I'd convinced myself on
the
cheap
conventional alarm route, saying I didn't need what Comfort
provided.
Of
course, that doesn't cater for what I want, which is completely
different
from what I need. I know Comfort will cost more (especially
since
I'll end
up buying loads more X10 stuff), but as you so rightly said -
"it's the kind
of thing I like playing with". I reckon I'll regret not
installing it, and
heck, it's only money. I'll only spend it on more
hifi
gear otherwise.
