One easy-ish way would be to use an HA controller like Homevision and
then a PC connected running Homeseer and the HS touch interface or for even
prettier graphics and display, something like MainLobby which would also
connect to HV and/or HomeSeer. Would be easier to setup than a homebrew
solution but more expensive.
