Im new at home automation & wondering what system to get

[damian]

Hi
i have very basic home automation system set up which is called home easy
all i have on my current system is

some remote controll light switches http://www.homeeasy.eu/RemoteControl...90/Product/88/

Remote Control Socket http://www.homeeasy.eu/SilverAdditio...90/Product/39/

thats all i have and a basic remote to contoll them
Touchscreen Remote Control Master Unit

http://www.homeeasy.eu/TouchscreenRemoteControlMasterUnit/HE100/189/Product/79/

Remote Control 5 Way Unit http://www.homeeasy.eu/RemoteControl...89/Product/38/

now i would like somethin a bit more but not sure what system to go for or if it will work with what i have.

i would also liek a remote that you can select which room your in then it brings up the applicens in that room etc tv / hi.fi / dvd player and then be able to use the remote to control the applicens.

whould also like it to be future proof and be able to add new stuff to it.

and what do i run the whole home automation system off can i run it of a note book or do i get a wired or wirless system

thanks

Several Home Automation software packages are supporting HomeEasy/RFXCOM:

https://www.housebot.com

HomeEasy remotes are received by the 433.92MHz 10103 USB / 10203 LAN receiver
HomeEasy modules are controlled by the 433.92MHz transmitters


Receiver/transmitter configurations are explained on the "Receiver/transmitter configuration rules" page at www.rfxcom.com or contact support rfxcom.com

Can I ask a silly question please?

Is HomeEasy x10 compatable?

I could not find any info on their site.

[b_weijenberg]

No, HomeEasy is different from X10 but RFXCOM can handle both.

Thanks for the swift info!
