Recently I found http://lumencache.com . I'm not sure how well it can be integrated into LMCE but they claim to be 10% of cost of standard dimmable LEDs. I was not trying to get a quote... Lately crazy busy on building my beautiful home and I have couple of months before I start looking into all of that.

I just hope the products are affordable for some home owners projects.

Hope the same. Would really like to use KNX. Would be nice to know start package cost.

I did some reading, made some calls, waiting for return calls from element controls and others ...

Hey,

let me know if you get a reply form element controls. I've contacted them twice and never heard back.

I did more reading and felt in love with KNX, but I'm still trying to find CSA (Canadian) approved devices. Everything without CSA stamp will not pass building inspection :(. Everything related to smart home here is INSTEON, X10, HAI and really expensive Lutron, Creston systems.

It would be great to see a complete setup with heating (floor and hvac), lighting and media. Which devices are used and how they are connected. When I start to read about it was hard to see what I need for a complete setup. But I'm doing small learning steps.

Thanks,
Jacac

I was trying to find anything here in Canada, without luck. Do you have any websites where I could find devices working 120V?

Thanks,

I would like to go with a wired solution. Somehow I don't feel good about all the extra frequency waves added.
I've read a lot of good things about KNX but they don't support 120V the same thing with PLCBUS.

That is the reason for my choice. If I'm off, let me know.

Thanks and happy weekend.

Users / LinuxMCE with HAI devices
« on: March 09, 2011, 04:43:34 am »
Hello,

I would like to setup my house with HAI devices and LinuxMCE. I saw in the in the changelog that support was added to HAI but I'm not sure what I need to buy to combine those system, or what is the best/recommended setup.

Would it be enough to get the HAI PIM, LMCE core and HAI devices to get started or do I need to get OMNI PRO Panel as well.

What do I want to archive:
- lighting control via WebOS/iOS
- audio/vidoe control through multiple room
- security
- irrigation
- voip

If somebody has any suggestions and experiences with HAI, I would love to hear it.

Thanks kindly,
Jacac
