Hi,
So I'd like to replace my timing unit and I'm keen on HA so I'm looking at units that have the ability to fit into a patchwork style HA system.
From my initial research I can't see much past Honeywell Evo, if it wasn't for the automation being dependent on Honeywell's servers I'd have already gone for it. Every post here (since it was released) is about the system as well. Seems like it's popular!
Thought I'd ask a few questions here in case anyone can help:
These are my current devices, I'm aiming to link them all together with software like OpenHAB.
I'm planning on adding some Somfy blinds as well soon, so will def purchase a RFXCom to use with one of my RPis.
Thoughts\opinions and advice more than welcome
Matt

Thought I'd ask a few questions here in case anyone can help:
- can it be controlled and queried from a system like OpenHAB or Domotiga? Maybe with a RPi\RFXCom system?
- is there anything that competes?
- can it report the temperature of the hot water?
- for cost reasons, I'd do the Heating and Hot water now and then TRVs later in the year - does that work ok?
These are my current devices, I'm aiming to link them all together with software like OpenHAB.
- Sonos
- MiGuard Alarm
- Lightwaverf lights
- Maplin Weather Station
- Huawei 3G Modem
- Harmony Hub
- USB Camera
- IP Camera
- QNAP
- Raspberry Pis
- efergy energy monitor
