No one is an expert on everything.  Your willingness to go to
tech support for answers when you're unsure and your
forthrightness are refreshing.

Don't let him get under your skin.  He's just very sensitive to
being told he's wrong.  :^)

What he means is he *believes* that they are allied because he's
unfamiliar with either product.  Dave is very knowledgeable in
certain areas but completely unwilling to admit there are large
areas of the HA world about which he knows nothing at all.

Heh, heh, heh... :^)

I worked with Homeseer from the very beginning.  Rick got his
first HA-compatible security hardware from me.  I've also helped
some other HS dealers with problems on occasion.  I used to sell
HS and Zwave but they no longer fit my business model so I just
refer clients who need them to you.  Hopefully some are buying.
