Im not sure you can do all this through pc control.  I have an
extensive AMX system.  I have all the stuff that you have and just some
other extras that come to mind

1. Wired mailbox sensor
2. Wired flood sensors
3. Wired motion sensors which activate certain cameras
4. Driveway detector
5. Ability to get weather updates to determin various macro events ie
sprinkler
6. Pool / Spa control
7. Vacation mode settings, activating video recording, lights etc
8. Bathtub activation
9. Astroclock timed functions
10. Doorbell functions
11. Garage door
12. Telephone/Intercom integration
13. Network
14. HDTV
So not sure how much you want to do now or leave for later, but from
the above list you can see the list goes on and on.  I have all the
above and am constantly looking for new ideas.  Its a work in progress
and I love it.
Would love anyone else to add to what they have.  ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
NEW IDEAS
