Re: Elk M1 panel?

["Brett Griffin" <brett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you considered HAI Omni series?

HAI makes a good competing product and offers touchscreens, lightswitches
and thermostats, all coordinating wiht a soft blue light.

I have been watching ELK, but I am waiting to see some more interfaces like
touchscreens, and third party support.  I think in another year they are
going to be a compelling product.  I got the chance to have a long
conversation with the president of Elk back in February at the EHExpo in
Florida.  Definitely a company to watch.

However, I cannot give you actual experience of the Elk.
