Right. And he wanted to have the comings and goings recorded.

There is an RFID system available for HomeSeer that does exactly this.
Rather pricey, and wouldn't work unless PC and program running.

I considered it while they had a 2-fer during the beta testing. At current
retail it is too expensive because owing to how my house is constructed, I'd
need numerous detectors to be useful.

A reactively "obscure" system like this *may* be OK for a while longer, but
RFID can be surreptitiously read far beyond the rate distances under the
right circumstances.
