newbee: HAL

For easy to Hal is a good choice but they are slow to fix problems and lack flexibility For greater flexibility and a very large user base go with Homeseer (visit their message board) Like everything try several to see what fits you the best Something else to try is Charmed

The latest HAL software version 3 has a HALi Actixe X interface to allow for 3rd party development of features/interfaces.

You can contact me directly for more information on setting up HAL, or check our our message board at
