I messed around a bit with some electrons today. The old house DSC security system crapped out a while back so I decided to upgrade it to something from the 20th. century. I opted for an ELK M1 system because of it's flexibility and ease of expansion. Right now it's just a really solid security system with 13 wired zones and a motion detector, but I have an ethernet card on order so I can access the system from the WWW, or a cell phone. That will also allow me to expand the system to include home automation. I plan to connect the fire alarms, thermostats, some video, and a good amount of lighting to it as well. It is also capable of some pretty sophisticated voice reporting, so I'll have to pull some wire for some speakers.
