I'll have to take a closer look at Insteon. I don't really mind being subject to windows as cygwin really helps add enough unix to the os that most things are possible. I still miss my linux box and the sheer flexibility it gave me though. Hopefully I'll be able to just locate some kind of switch which hooks into cat5 and can be sent a signal and then I can just hook those up to a central computer. Surely it can't be that hard to design a switch like that to replace my current light switches.
If you had the chance to redo your floor project would you put a beam and jack posts up while repouring the floor instead of allowing your house to settle and crack and if you did that would it really affect the 3500 psi pour? Seems like there would only be a couple small areas around the jack posts that would not be part of the pour.
