Ok I have been away for a bit and have a decentish interface made a lot of which can be seen by looking at my history. Basically my job has taken me away from the house I love but I will be able to return in a couple months. I really do not have the time to build a really rock solid interface and since I believe Dean has opened up the product purchased by us DIYers to pros and other to allow a fee for service I am going to ask if anyone out there wants to take on my project for a fee we can discuss outside this post.
Here is a basic list of what I have;
Equipment list, everything is controllable unless otherwise noted via rs232
1 HAI with 2 add on boards,
about 30 light devices
About 20 door sensors all home run
About 5 motion sensors
5 or so controlled outlets
Above are mostly HAI brand.
4 15" 1048x768 ELO monitors controlled via standalone minipc's
One in kitchen -> Main one might get upgraded to a new 19" widescreen ELO 1939l (is that the wide screen?)
One in my office
One in master bed room
One in main HT area
Living room TV center
This will need a new tv of some sort controllable.
HTPC for the kids movies, presently using Totalmedia theater for the blurays
Directv PVR box
Main theater center
PTAE 1000 projector (likely will get upgraded but could just be to a 4000 or something)
Denon 4308 CI
HTPC again running TMT 3 for the blurays
Directv PVR box
Master Bedroom
Will also need new TV
HTPC for tv watching
Directv PVR box
Server is presently a 6tb windows home server, Mostly stores blurays. I want to upgrade to about a 20tb server
Rain 8 irrigation with 3 zones
Dynatab for internal temp I think I have 8 sensors over the house
Garage door is on relay
I also bought a 8 zone Nuvo with the intention of doing whole home audio
Id like to add a All in one pc to the underside of my kitchen cabinets to allow wife to watch movies, tv and status of system.
Im likely to add cameras to the system.
As discussed I would like to add a few Tablets ( I really don't care which one, The S7 is the right price range but if you have better suggestions I'm all ears) to replace remote controls.
Thats a rundown of what I more or less have... I have no illusions this will be cheap I think I have about $25,000 into this system so far between all the hardware and the wiring (my house had 0 wiring in it before I started I think I ran over 4000 ')
The HAI fellow I had install this is a great guy and could prob work with you on non CQC stuff, I just want this to work well so if I went away and had a visitor they could use it without my help.
