I follow the ADI forum so put a post on there when you are ready for it and
I will send it to you then.

All of my ADI modules are on a single 12vdc switching power supply (laptop
style).  The exception is the SpeakEasy which runs on 12vac (PS comes with
it)  My PIR's, alarm keypad, relay board etc. are on a second identical
supply, camera's have their own WalWarts, and the Waterbug is on a 12vac
WalWart.

I have a drawerful of PS's that I pick up cheap at electronics surplus etc.

A UPS is shared by my PC and ADI equipment.  The PC is set to Hibernate
after 2 minutes on battery power leaving the bulk of the 1000 kva UPS to run
the ADI equipment for several hours.

If I was starting from scratch, I would hardwire everything from the get-go.
Unfortunately, there still does not seem to be a good affordable replacement
for X10 especially for lighting control and handheld remotes.

Yes, you don't need an Ocelot to play with CMAX.
