I have no idea what I'm going to use, but I've been reading around (AVS is where I've started) and will be doing as much reading as I can. Is there a free version of CQC I can use and try. I don't think I have anything else in my home to control but would like to experiment with light switches and stuff. Does ZWave stuff work and how much does it cost to implement? Anything I do will have to be either free or very cheap at first. I've spent too much on my xbox's and the 800 now to do too much right away. I'll be in the 800 forums checking everything out as soon as i arrives.

sic0048-feel free to post links to any other forums about intro to home automation...very intro to HA.

Thanks,

J
