Obviously I can see how newcomers constantly asking for new remote advice could get old, so I will do my best to be detailed and brief. I will list my current equipment and follow with a description of my immediate future needs. I believe myself tech-savvy enough to be able to use the so called "dealer" software. So, if possible I would like to be able to have the programming software for future use.

I am in the process of putting together a ZWave system includingdoor locks, lights, receptacles, IP Cameras (2), etc. I need IR/RF/ AND Zwave compatibility. I understand this is not a small feat. My budget is between 500 to 1000 dollars. That MUST cover both the remote as well as any external controllers that are needed. I already have money set aside for the Zwave products, so that doesn't factor into this budget.
Lots of great info here, thanks to all, and any time replying is much appreciated.
