I have personally tried about every major manufacture's security and automation products, and have come to some conclusions that will be outlined here and in subsequent pages.

My observations prove at least to myself that the most expensive is not necessarily the best, in fact some of the best and most reliable products are the least expensive and come with really good support.

Many products can specialize in specific areas, and provide features that are necessary for UL and code requirements such as security systems, while others are more diverse and configurable.

All the products on this web site will reflect what I believe to be best of breed in the categories they were chosen for.

Some of the products tested and reviewed are:

Stargate by JDS Technologies. --- Strictly Knowledgeable Hobbiest.

OmniPro by Home Automation Inc. --- Best UL approved Security.

Ocelot by AdiCon. --- Best overall Automation.

HAL2000 by Home Automated Living. --- Ok, but not my pick.

HomeSeer by HomeSeer Technologies LLC. --- Best Automation Software.

More detailed information of my best picks are presented in area specific web pages, including user and installation manuals in PDF format.
