Re: Alarm panel with defined part setting

Certainly will, at a price!

By the time I've got a wireless interface, sensors, keypads etc. it's
above what I was looking to pay.

However I had been looking at some lighting automation via Rako + PC,
so will look closely at it's abilities in this area as I might be able
to dispense with the PC.

Am I right that it has some form of internal macro language that is
driven by events? The only real reference to this is through the
description of an add-on piece of software called comfigurator.
