Personal to-do list

1. UPB switch installs: laundry room, kitchen sink, dining room, bathroom main (+1 remote), 3 closets, baby room, office, upstairs living, porch light
2. buy a PC powerful enough to run Homeseer... the Linux box that was running MisterHouse was just a P3, and the Windows box I got from my parents is a P4 800MHz with 256KB memory, which would require a memory upgrade to meet the minimum requirements, and just barely meets the processor requirements. Also, be sure to get multiple serial ports.
3. get a 3com Audrey off of ebay
4. buy homeseer $189.95 + UPB Plug-in $39.95 + AC RF Processor Plug-in $29.95 + mcsAudrey Plug-in $29.95
5. think about the SMS Plug-in (and getting an extra line + free cell phone to send them)
6. from AutomatedOutlet, purchase W800RF32 whole house transceiver, motion detectors, palm pad controllers, keychain controllers, and slimline decorator switches.

worrying about automation first... security concerns will come later.
