Thanks all. The weeder board is exactly what I was looking for, and coupled with Zwave it should work fine. Much appreciated.

Users / Security Sensor Options beyond GC100
« on: July 15, 2008, 09:34:51 am »
There seems to be two general opinions on security systems with LinuxMCE; either tie an alarm panel to a global cache, or tie your contacts directly to the server. I lean towards the later and am hoping someone can explain to me how this is cost effective. I'm looking at an install encompassing 20 wired zones and 5-10 wireless zones. That many global cache boxes seems ridiculous. Are there any cheaper IO interfaces available (rs-232 not needed)? Or would it be better to just hook into an Elk or a DSC for an install with that many zones?
