I do have Homeseer (HS), it's not bad, but lot's of issues. Advice: they have 50% sale on software twice a year, subscribe to their email to be notified. 2. Aeon Multi-Sensors - they are cheap, but not reliable, I think it's better to invest in better quality, i.e. Fibaro. The BEST feature of Aeon Multi-Sensors - they support usb power (instead of batteries), which makes them a bit more reliable because they don't sleep. 3. Try to use wired sensors instead of Z-Wave when possible, from my experience Z-Wave isn't very reliable and not too fast, sometimes delay between entering the room and switching the lights is more than 10 sec, which is pretty useless. Sometimes it doesn't work at all, I have to reset the sensors and/or reboot HS. 4. Regarding IP cameras - you will have to choose cameras supported by HS, currently it's Foscam 5. I'm looking into HS compatible alarm system also would appreciate any input 6. Basically before choosing on any hardware - check if it's going to work with HS, i.e Doorbird is supported. 7. For garage door automation I found that using Raspberry digital I/O is cheaper option that dedicated Z-Wave devices (at least here in AU). But this depends on your electronics skills. 8. Regarding computer specs for running HS server, if you want to process video stream from IP cameras - you need pretty good comp, personally I bought i7 from Hystou, it's much cheaper than NUK and great looking, good support too. http://www.hystou.com/products/fanless- ... -1953.html Thanks mate.
