A stand-alone panel like the M1G or Omni does not require a PC to
operate your systems.  You only use a PC to configure it.  The
sensors are a constant since you need some form of sensor no matter
what controls you use.  The purpose of the M1G in this application is
to tie everything together and to provide online access to monitor
and control via the Internet.
