HomeSeer has been around for quite a while and they have plug-ins for
numerous subsystems.  When Rich was first developing the software I
supplied the test hardware (a Napco P9600 system with HA interface).
One issue you might have with this approach is that it requires the
PC to be running to integrate your systems as well as to allow remote
access.  The ELK system does not require a dedicated PC.  I prefer a
design that does not hinge entirely upon a central PC.  YMMV of
course.
