From the price of this set, I still don't have the funds to do it. But I think I can somewhat improve on the design a bit. I am thinking about writing a homebrew app for the Nintendo DS.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.smarthome.com/2490N1/SmartLinc-INSTEON-Best-Sellers-Kit/p.aspx">http://www.smarthome.com/2490N1/SmartLinc-INSTEON-Best-Sellers-Kit/p.aspx</a><br /><br />I just found a automatic door actuator that is compatible with the X-10 system. The X-10 system can be easily converted to the SmartLink frequency.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.weopendoors4u.com/swing_door_operator.html">http://www.weopendoors4u.com/swing_door_operator.html</a><br /><br />On an average house (2 Story, 3 bedroom) I estimate the cost to be around $3,000 to automate everything. When I purchase/build my own home, I am definitely putting this system in. And hopefully by that time, the price for this will have tremendously decreased.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2761803438831022802-9027010157750755715?l=collincerbus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Collin Cerbushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09932771139139056950noreply@blogger.com0
