Re: Radio sources and Russound kit?

["kw1816" <kw1816@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pretty sure there's a 30 day trial version available. The old
version I used to use doesn't seem to like ML/MLS 3 :-(
Once we get the extension build finished I plan to spend some time
fully integrating the CAV - got lot's of ideas .....

Comfort alarm sounds - CAV switches Zone 1 on at set colume and
plays a dog barking, then switches on all zones to announce that the
police have been called etc. while flashing all the house lights and
sounding a siren

The wife fancies a 'welcome home' message when the front door is
opened, I have a feeling that will last all of a week :-)

CallerID announce - looks phone number up in address book and
announce callers name in zones 1 & 2.
